Walking...FINALLY

BOTH of my baby girls are FINALLY walking! I was honestly beginning to think the day would never come! :) Okay, okay, I knew it would come eventually...surely. But Reagan? She just wasn't really interested in walking at all for the longest time. Finely Ryleigh got good (a little after 15 months), and I guess Reagan started seeing how fast Ryleigh could get into everything, and finally decided maybe this walking thing might be pretty cool. When we went to their 15 month well visit, their doctor seemed a little concerned that Reagan wasn't even really attempting to walk on her own. (she's been cruising on furniture for quite some time, but never tries to take steps without support) She recommended that we have some person (I forget her title)...I guess, to teach me how to encourage Reagan's walking. This suggestion annoyed me a little, because I have been "encouraging" Reagan to walk. All. The. Time. It's all we work on right now. Anyway, we ended up turning down the service when they called, because literally 3 days after their appointment, Reagan started trying to take steps on her own. YAY! So, she started taking several steps, and now at about 16 1/2 months- she is doing great. Ryleigh is practically running everywhere she goes now. She has 2 speeds, running or asleep. They are both into everything, and they are almost always going in different directions. What does this mean for me? I never sit down, unless they are sleeping. I'm am seriously having a blast with them though. I have dreamed of the 3 of us being able to walk, me holding each of their hands, for a while now...and now we can. :)  It some ways it makes life so much easier, in other ways, not so much!!
