12 Months ... LATE POST

So again its been forever since I posted. Most of June seemed like a blur, as Will and I traveled a lot. We went to New Orleans, New York, and Wimberley. Although the last post pretty much still sums things up as it is going here but I will try and remember most of what happened. Allie is such a cutie, she loves to dance still and now shakes her butt while she has a hand in the air. She loves to clap and smile. Although she is more tempermental now in that one minute she is fine and the next she is upset. During the 12 months she isnt walking but cruising like a champ. She is very cautious. She didnt stand much in her 12 months unless you helped her get in the standing position but in the 13th month she has started going from sitting to standing on her own without any help. She has taken three steps. She also in her 12th month started playing a lot with her toys really the way they are intended. Its like it clicked and she understood what she was supposed to do with them. HER BIRTHDAY was this month (12th). WHAT A WONDERFUL weekend. We all went down to Wimberley on Friday July 1st.
