Allie has started walking! She started about 2 weeks ago actually, but i just realized I never posted about it. After having 2 crazy boys, i really thought i had a corner on parenting young children, but girls are SO much different. I really am not sure why, I think it's a combination of my natural response and her unique differences that make it so extreme. She LOVES to walk to me and ask for kisses, and snuggles, something I still can't get my boys to do. :) She cares for her baby, and hugs her and kisses her. Such distinctions from my boys. Although my boys have "pets" (stuffed dogs) they sleep with, they are not usually interested in involving them in play, unless of course they are a ferocious monster trained to kill.
So, she took her first steps, while Will and I both watched in pride. I suspected she could walk earlier, but hadn't had a chance to sit with Will and patiently wait for those first wonderful steps, so I didn't try to get her to, because I didn't want Will to miss it.
We both were obviously excited, I was a little sad, but not as much as I expected to be. I thought since she is my last baby, I would be sad, but I am content, for now. To allow nature to take it's course. For her to grow and flourish.
Of course, now that she has been walking for a bit, she's an old pro. She took to climbing the stairs today, there will be no celebration for that though, just some baby proofing. :)
