Alyssa is a walker! sort of ;-)


So Miss Alyssa is offically walking...


with the help of a walker!


It was too funny, we had just been to the doctor on Wednesday and I said "do you think this girl is ever going to walk? she has no interest. she butt scoots everywhere" and my doc laughed and said she would surely do it...in her own time.


So that night we're in the playroom. Playing, of course. Alyssa got cranky and so I said to her "why don't you get your walker and go somewhere?" so she scooted right over to it, pulled up, took off and never looked back! She is very fast with it now and within a day had pretty well mastered turning and correcting herself if she veers to the side. She hasn't gotten the hang of 180's yet but she'll get there. It is so cool to watch her take off, curls flying, off to a new adventure.


So her fav new thing to do is go down the hall every morning to wake the girls for school. She grabs that walker, goes to their room, stops at each bed and kisses them on the arm and cackles. So far the girls are loving it! She also loves to chase Griffin with the walker. Good times!


So she got her first pair of shoes, a pair of Stride Rite pink butterfly shoes. Very cute. She is obsessed with them. She comes after you saying "shoes, shooooooooooooes" waiting for you to put them on. Now she's obsessed with everyone ELSES shoes too!
