Grace is 16 Months!

Grace turned 16 months on February 17th, and she is NOW WALKING!!! Yay!!!! Early in the month she would take a few steps here and there, and was starting to maybe walk across the room occasionally, but nothing spectacular. She walk also starting to walk sometimes without being asked to, so we were making progress. Well the Saturday night when we had Norah's family party (Feb. 7), I don't know if she was showing off because so many people were there, or what, but after dinner, she was walking around everywhere, the most I had ever seen! It then took her about the next week, and by the next weekend, she was walking about 90% off the time. She now is walking all the time and its rare to see her crawl any more. She did exactly what Kyler did, he didn't walk until 15 months, and as soon as he did, just took off! I know people have said, "oh, I bet your glad she isn't walking yet, I wish mine wasn't walking", but I'm glad she is. It's so hard when we go somewhere, church or out to eat and she wants to get down, but I'm not going to let her down to crawl. Now that she's walking, I will gladly let her down to walk around. :) Grace got her right front side bottom tooth this month, and her right bottom molar, so we are now up to 8 teeth! Grace is also finally starting to eat some more table food, but will still eat baby food too. She loves graham crackers and cheese. :) Grace also went down to only one nap this past month. She was taking so long to fall asleep before each nap, that I just decided to go to one. Some days it can still be a stretch and if we are in the car around that 11:00-12:00 time and she got up pretty early, she might fall asleep. But she has really done pretty well. Here are some pictures from the past month!
