Finally Walking!

She finally is walking more than crawling. She has been taking about 5 steps at a time for a while now. After about 5 steps she falls to the ground. But last Tuesday I caught her taking about 10 steps from the table to the middle of the room. When she noticed me watching her she starting laughing and fell. So that night Doug and I played the walking game with her and let her walk back and forth to us for about an hour. She thought it was a game and was laughing the whole time. Now she has been walking more often and has it down really well. She got to walk to Grandma Thayer lastnight and showed off for Grandma Scheible today. Now she has been trying to lean over and pick things up which is a lil tricky being top heavy. But its cute when she falls because she always giggles.

Alexandra has been sleeping through the night again. For the last few nights she hasnt woke up screaming crying. We switched her back to formula and are slowly weaning her to whole milk. Also she isnt drooling as much, so I believe her tooth has finally broke through. So either it was her tooth or tummy hurting. We arent sure, but are sooo happy that she is back to normal. If it was because of teething, this has been the first worst episode. If it were because her tummy cant handle all the whole milk at once, we are working to prevent anymore tummy aches by weaning her.
