Sweet P's First Steps!!!
Paisley had her first birthday on May 18 and she took her first unassisted steps just a few weeks later :) She's been walking while holding our fingers for quite a few weeks but she hadn't attempted to venture out on her own. She was standing at the couch and kept letting go and standing on her own so I broke out my phone real quick and luckily as soon as I did she took her first sporadic steps towards me!!! She had the biggest grin on her face while she was doing it, it was awesome!
"They" say average age to start walking is between 9 and 12 months, and walking fairly well by 15 months. So according to "them" she is right on track. But considering she's stayed on track with her peer group this whole time I had no doubt she would start walking soon :)
We're still wearing our boots/bar at night, and we've finally reached the stage where she fights having them put on :( It's become quite the workout to get her into them and I've ended up with quite a few bruises and bloodied knuckles from her kicking her feet with those hard plastic boots on. Honestly, there are some nights I'm too exhausted and she's goes to bed without them.

GREAT NEWS!!!
We had an appointment for Paisley last week at UNC and we got GREAT news!
They said her foot looks incredible. It has great position and great flexibility. Other than being a tad smaller than her non-club foot you can't tell there was ever an issue with her foot :)
But the BEST news is that since Paisley is such a good sleeper and averages 12 hours/night we no longer have to wear the boots/bar during the day!! She's free!!!....and she's loving it :) I don't think she stays still unless she is sleeping, lol. She's been sitting up on her knees and pulling herself up to her knees using furniture (even with the boots/bar on) for a few weeks now but since last week her mobility has taken off. She is across the room faster than you can blink an eye and has her hands in the dog's water before you know it, haha. She's even pulled herself to standing a few times using me, my husband or Nana.
But the best part happened tonight. I heard her in the foyer being silly and giggly, and as I rounded the corner I found her like this!!!
I couldn't believe it :) She was so proud of herself too because she gave me her big 4 tooth grin, lol.
Unfortunately her appointment last week was our last with UNC :( We received orders to Tampa and must be there in May so we will continue her care with a new doctor as soon as we can.

Master of her own destiny!!
- This is my bar. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
- My bar is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
- ..and master it she has folks!!! :)
- Paisley is EVERYWHERE!!! Whether she has boots and bar, just the boots or nothing at all she is all over the place :) She is loving her new found freedom and Mama needs to remember where all the baby gates went, lol.
- Sorry the videos are on the side. I didn't realize that when I recorded them that it wouldn't show up the same from my phone to the computer :(
- And in my draft the quality looks horrible so I'll see how it looks once I post it...might have to break out the real camera and see what I can do.

Forgot to mention...
In the midst of worrying about Paisley reaching her milestones, driving to UNC every other month, chasing a rambunctious toddler, keeping my household from imploding (although that might be an improvement from its usual state) and trying to keep my sanity intact we got a little surprise...
We got this little surprise when Paisley was turning 4 months. Soooo if you're any good at math, the 2 youngest will be 11months apart. Wasn't really planning on having Irish Twins, lol.
Consider my sanity officially GONE!!
But who needs sanity anyway, right? We are so excited that our family will be growing by one more the end of April/beginning of May. And after 2 girls, it's finally a BOY!!!
As of today I'm 28weeks (whoo hoo 3rd trimester) and we had his anatomy scan done at 18weeks. The anatomy scan was where we first learned that Paisley had her club foot so I asked that the ultrasound tech pay special attention to his feet. She took pictures of them and from what we could see everything looks good. I go next week for my GD test (joy!) and they want to do an additional ultrasound since they did the first one a little earlier than they usually do them. I'll take any excuse to see my precious boy :)
