Alec's First Steps!

Sad, but exciting... last night as I was saying good-bye to the kids (Chad and I actually got to go out for dinner alone!), Alec decided he was just going to walk to me- like he'd done it a dozen times before or something! He even had to step over a short little edge of a toy and contend with our little pacer, Foxy. He was trying to maintain his whiny protest of our leaving, but couldn't help but smirk a little, himself!
And apparently he's decided to just grow up on me now... He's always been pretty obsessed with any potty, but today he squirmed away from me and quickly went over and sat on Greta's little potty. He was as proud of himself as he could be and it was way too cute. No plans of potty training, but it's just fun to see him start to assert his independence a little more.
