Almost!

Just thought I'd try and post a quick update on our new year so far. So I guess I haven't mentioned much about Haley's road to walking as I'm kind of just holding my breath while mother nature takes it's course. She is making great strides finally. Yes, she's 17 months and a very late walker. Never fear she's been thouroughly checked out head to toe and inside out of that cute little noggin. All is completely well and she was just so busy learning more talking than she needed to learn at her age..she forgot to worry about the motor milestones. She is now up and about cruizing the furniture, dog, her brother...anything she can use to balance by. She will finger walk only using one hand which is great. She briefly stood alone the other day until her germ friek mommy dashed to brace her just in case she was to fall and touch a dirty restaurant floor whenever she realized she was standing alone. It was particularly dirty..some others wouldn't have bothered me that much..ok a little. So yes, she is getting there. And Hunter, he's gearing up for another upcoming birthday. He's quite the party planner! He will have is next birthday planned on the way home from this years party. This is our crazy month full of friends with birthdays. We have 3 parties this weekend alone. So Hunter can get lots of ideas for next years party :-) Hunter's thoughts are also pretty consumed lately with going to kindergarten next year. He asks a lot of questions about riding the bus..and how long until he leaves Ms. Abby's class this year. He acts excited but it's clear he has a little anxiety about the unknown. He's concerned because he knows Haley will start at his preschool next year and he wants her to go to the same school as him. He wants her to go now. I tried to explain to him the money issue of paying for two in preschool, but he wasn't impressed. Well, hope these little tidbits qualify to keep you all up to date.
