Walking and Door Knobs

Alex, you started walking today. You have taken as many as 3 or 4 steps during the past couple weeks, but today you have been walking all the way across the room. Last night you were having a lot of fun running back and forth along the couch, laughing all the way. Your sister beat you by walking three days earlier (or younger) than you did. She walked 7 days after her birthday, on April 4th. Today is 10 days after your birthday.

Abby, your learned how to open the front door yesterday. You had a lot of fun going in and out. One time you went out and didn’t come back in. I went out after you to find you going down the sidewalk with your stroller. We spent awhile outside while you walked up and down the street. We went across the street and met up with Curtis Peterson and Johnny. Johnny was pushing his lawn mower and you and he went walking off down the sidewalk.

Mommy gets in bug to re-arrange furniture every now and again. She decided to rearrange your room, but you were not too happy about that. When she would move something you would go after it and try to move it back to where it was saying, “NO, Mom!”. You were very adamant when mom tried to put your bed underneath the window. You wouldn’t be pacified until she moved your bed into the corner. Then you jumped into bed and kicked your legs, excited that you got your way.
