Walking!

We are very happy to report that Grace is now walking full time! Her only limitation is that she can't always stand up in the middle of the floor, she's not quite strong enough yet and that takes a lot of balance. So, if she trips over something on the floor, she'll crawl to the next best place to stand up then keep walking. She's enjoying her new freedom. She walks everywhere, all the time. She makes laps around the house. She'll even be standing, playing at a toy, turn around, walk 5 feet away, turn around, walk back and continue playing. We think she does that just because she likes walking. It's pretty cute to see such a small thing toddling around the house. It seems that we're always wondering where Grace is these days, because she roams around so much. Xander is getting closer to walking, too. He has really improved his balance in the last week and is now becoming pretty daring and will let go and walk a short distance to another object. He enjoys that, because he always smiles and claps for himself when he gets to where he was going. Will is still Will. He has started cruising on the furniture a lot more and walking behind toys much further than he used to. Now if we could just get him to balance and stand up without holding on......

Not much other news. I did forget to report that Will and I took another trip to the doctor two weeks ago, for wheezing. We have now purchased a nebulizer and are using as needed for the wheezing. Since we've had it, we've used it a lot. Unfortunately that means we'll probably be going on long term medicine. I'll find out for sure when I take them to the peditrician for their 15 month appointment next week. You can tell from the pictures that we got out their new sand and water table and played in it for the first time. They got soaked, but they enjoyed it. The most fun thing was putting the sand in the water. The other pictures are just candids of them playing in the house and hugging their care bears, something they love to do. They make a funny squealing sound when they hug something. I'll post more after the dr appointment on Tuesday afternoon.
