Alli has been cutting her next set of teeth for the last week or so. I've noticed the swelling and a little bit of white. They are the upper teeth next to the front teeth (I think they're called the incisors). Anyway, I keep watching them, waiting for them to make a grand entrance. But today while Daddy was tickling Alli, I noticed something else. Her lower incisors are also coming in (at least on one side). There was a white tooth already sticking through the gums. How I've missed it for the last week or so I have no idea, but she's cutting 4 teeth right now - she's gonna have a mouthful very soon!!!
Later today after Daddy's tickle session, Alli was standing/holding on to me while I sat on the floor. Then she let go and just stood there. She's been getting braver letting go of things, standing on her own for a second or two, but this was standing for quite a while. We were so impressed that we clapped and made her do it again. And again. And again until she got tired of that game.
So then we switched the game and got on the floor to make her walk between us. As Kim and I "passed" her back and forth, she started walking! Just a couple of steps, but it almost seemed like she was as excited as we were for the progress cause she just giggled like crazy when she was able to take a couple of steps without holding on to either of us. I expect she should be taking more steps on her own by next weekend.
But what an exciting day we had today!!
