Walking and ONE!

AL is walking! Two days before his first birthday, (which is today by the way). He is a little wably and still resorts to crawling when he is tired, but he just lets go and does it all the time now! He can almost cross the room without falling. So great!
SO on his first bday I am full of mixed emotions; none of them sad really, but excited. I looked at him and Hunter today while they played and realized in just a few short years I would have two babies almost the exact distance apart playing together (hopefully happily). I was not sad because I get to have the baby stage all over again very soon, which helps me to only see the joy in Al growing older. But he is just so sweet. He stood at his bed tonight at we put our heads together and I said "mmmm" with sheer happiness and he repeated it... such an amazing baby.
