Every day Allex walks exponentially more than the day before. As much as I've enjoyed everything he does, walking is the most entertaining. Seeing him stand, walk a little, then start to lose his balance, and then steady himself is highly captivating. Sometimes he falls on his butt. Sometimes he holds into a standing position, waving his arms about for balance. Once in a while his legs swing him into a different direction than intended and he keeps going. *giggle*

His vocabulary consists of "hello" and "dog" and "no". While they sound more like "ala" and "doh" and "na", you can tell what he means. "Mom" seems to be forming next. "Dog" was definitely his first word though.

He seems to have reached a milestone of maturity with walking and talking. There's a change in his personality. He obeys better, he's calmer. Not that he was unruly, but he's different. His curiosity overtook him more before. Now he seems to be able to control it better. Each age has a developmental progression. We have to learn so much.
