Alyssa

Alyssa took four steps today! Ok, I gotta give a good story cause I've been driving everyone crazy (myself included) about her not walking yet..... Once every few days I've been trying to hold her hands and get her to walk with me and she'd either sit down or start to fuss so I'd stop as I know it's not good to force the whole walking thing. However, last night she wanted to walk with me for a few minutes and kept laughing while doing it. Then today we walked and walked and walked and walked together and when I was tired of it I walked her to the chair and took a step back. She right away took two steps to me and reached out leaning just enough so she could rest on me. It was so cool! Then we did some more walking and she took two more steps before falling but those steps weren't as good as the first two cause she was kinda falling down in the process. Needless to say though that she finally seems to care to figure out this whole walking thing at 15 months old! ha ha When I saw the doctor she reassured me that it was not a big deal at all and went on to say that her daughter didn't walk until over 16 months old and is perfectly healthy. I think my parents and Kim are tired of me talking about my daughter not walking, but that is OVER! ha ha I know mom you "told me so". ha ha
