She's walking across the room now!

Seriously, Ally took her first steps yesterday and today she is walking clear across the room. For those of you who know our house - she literally walked from the bookcase in the dining room (near our bedroom door) all the way into the middle of the living room. Then later in the evening she walked from the kitchen all the way into the living room. She can turn, pivot and walk. Yes it is still wobbly, but Becky and I are just amazed at this progress.


Tonight she stood in her pink chair - looked out the window and pointed to 2 dogs (being walked on a leash) and said Dog. She can recoginze dogs outside the window and say that they are dogs! I'm sure all parents feel this way about stuff like this, but we are just so psyched!


Today Ally had her 15 month doctor appt. She weighed in at 19lbs 8 oz (which is a 6oz gain from last month, so her doctor is pleased and told us to keep doing whatever we're doing). Ally is 29" tall and received a clean bill of health.


Now onto some cute pictures from today:
Becky cleaned out a lower cabinet of any breakables so Ally has a cabinet that she can play in.

We did leave the canned cat food in her cabinet, here she is walking with a can of cat food!

Ally made it to her chair and I had to take this picture to show off her tiny cute bottom. We LOVE this outfit she is wearing and the boots are just too cute.

Lounging in her chair!

She loves her fruit - this is apple she is eating!

I also wanted to say to anyone and everyone who reads this blog - thank-you. We are so thrilled and excited about Ally and everything she is accomplishing. We are incredibly proud of her and really enjoy sharing everything with you.
