Finally!

We finally have walking! Will has finally decided that is the way to go. He's not walking full time, but he's getting there. He walks between objects and people, and is spontaneously going between things that he never did before. We're elated! It's so nice to have a little more mobility and flexibility. We've been taking walks where they are doing the walking, and they seem to like it. Xander wanders everywhere, especially towards our next door neighbor's dog behind the fence. Not much else has been going on lately. We've been going on a lot of outings, errands, playing in the park, we even took them to Valentino's for dinner. We met some new neighbors the other day, and they have two great swingsets in their backyard that the kids enjoyed playing on. Their son is a little bit older, but hopefully will be a good playmate for the boys. Will has started saying "dog" but it comes out something like "guh". He and Xander are always looking for Tanner the aforementioned next door dog. They like him, but Grace cries when he barks. They also play a new game of "up and down" where they sit on the edge of something and stand up/sit down, trying to say "up" or "down". They usually get it right, too. They did this, all three of them, on the edge of the treadmill for about 10 minutes this afternoon. Great fun!

The bottom picture is Xander and Grace singing a verse of "If You're Happy and You Know It". It's the "shout hooray" verse. That's their favorite part. I included that picture of Grace because it was the first time she left a bow in her hair. I thought it was cute. The pictures of the boys are them on the move. Have a good week everyone!
