Hi:) Thought that I'd share the news that Esmé voluntarily walked to Jay this morning from a kitchen cabinet:)!! We've been doing therapy w her at home and also started up therapy appts w her... once or twice a month (only gone to one so far, but that is the plan until she is walking quite a bit). Her therapist says that her walking is inevitable, but she needs to get moving! Esmé has also been walking by herself 15-20 steps sometimes in the therapy sessions that Jay and I do with her. IF she forgets that we are not holding on to her. She doesn't know how to stand up by herself yet from the middle of the floor, but is working on that! We have a little ways to go I think, but I am super excited that we are this far. It is such a milestone and has taken lottttts of work to get this far.
Have a super day!!:)
