Adele is absolutely fabulous in every way. And, get this--she's WALKING. Yipes. She started taking steps around Steve's birthday in late August, and over the course of the next few weeks she's progressed by leaps and bounds. (Ha! Punny!) She can walk across a room without falling once, but it might take her all day. Slow and steady wins the race, I guess! She still chooses to crawl most of the time, but I have noticed that she's attempting to walk first before giving in to the faster, more efficient mode. This weekend we're off to KC to get her some real shoes, just in time for cooler weather. Robeez just won't cut it in the cold, wet Kansas winters, no matter how cute they are.
She had a developmental follow-up at Children's Mercy last week and that went fine. We're still waiting on the final report, so I don't have anything "official" to share. But no major concerns were mentioned to us, so one can assume all is well! The psychologist did say that Adele was "smart but intense" (after witnessing a major meltdown when I wouldn't let Adele keep climbing the PT stairs). Ah yes..."intense"...guess we will need to learn how to keep that attitude of hers focused in the right direction. And I have NO idea who she gets it from...(ahem).
Anyway, the whole point of this post is to share the video montage I made. Enjoy watching Adele progress from unsteady stumbler to sure-footed walker! (Okay, maybe that last part is a stretch, but she's getting close!)

Darrah, I LOVE THE VIDEO! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! SHE IS WALKING!!! YAY YAY!
And pirate Skeeter looks great, too :-)
...as do you and Steve, of course!
OK, that was too cute! Way to go Adele!
They look a little less drunk each day that passes. Charlie no longer walks in circles... or as much as he did I mean!
She is so cute! Way to go! No, I am not looking forward to the running, either.
For shoes, I finally found some cute ones that I can actually put on Charlie without having to sit on him and shove his foot violently in it just so he can take it off in the car.. at Target. Yes, Target.
Just an idea! They have some cuuuuute girl shoes there.
YAY Adele!!! She's doing so well. Can't believe our little preemies have come so far!
I need to some how teach Ant how to get up to a stand on his own. He usually pulls up on something and then starts walking. Hmmmmm wonder how to do that.
Charlie can't get up without pulling on something, either. He tries, but ends up scooting across the floor on his head.. it's funny and sad to watch.
And, yeah, I scheduled my c-section for October 21st.. exactly 39 weeks. I hope we get there!!
Oh gosh, you posted this days ago?!! How freakin cute! Sure and steady is a good way to describe the walk. Carina likes when she puts her head on the floor and makes her legs stand stiff. :) Good job on the montage!
