Almost a Walker

Brayden is almost officially a walker. Crawalking is still his preferred method of movement, but he is walking more and more. He will usually take off walking, but once he falls it is over. You would think it would come naturally for him to want to try and stand back up, but Brayden has shown no interest in that skill. On Saturday, he did stand up without pulling up on anything for the first time. I thought that would be the official changeover, but then on Sunday, he pretty much refused to walk at all! Oh, well, he'll figure out that he's faster on his feet than he is on his knees soon enough :)

I heard some giggling coming from the living room this evening, so I peeked around the corner to see what was going on. . . I found Bray-My and Lilli-Pie spending some time together.

Lillith is getting old and crazy, but she really is good for Brayden Boy. He loves her a lot . . . he gives her loving by laying his head on her. It is very sweet! He also likes to hit her in the face, which isn't so sweet, but it does make him laugh :0

One more thing -- I meant to do this a while ago, but I forgot!!! Jennifer wrote the most touching post about sweetie girl Ali. . . If you need some perspective or if you just need a good cry, I suggest reading this post :) I know some of you guys will really enjoy it!!! A lot of the time, I get tied up in the "baby" world, where we are all celebrating our first year together or still waiting to bring our children home. . . it's great to see how things "look" after a few years - when the emotions of the process have worn off and you can actual focus on reality!
