Steps!!!
Today while I was holding Lexi's hand as she walked I let go briefly and she took a couple of steps on her own! Then she came crashing into my arms. She did this several times throughout the day. It has been a long time coming. I don't know that she will be fully walking on her own really soon because she still has some balance issues but I was beyond thrilled. We are ordering her special arch supports because one of her legs is slightly weaker than the other and she likes to put most of her weight on her left foot. Hopefully with that addition and a little more practice we'll have a walker soon. I'm hoping by 18 months she'll be doing it all on her own. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Answer: Yes, it would.

Ellie!!!!!! This is wonderful news!! I'm so proud of Lexi and happy for you. What a big step (no pun intended). Just goes to show how hard you all have been working with her-- what a fantastic mom you are. I'm gonna go ahead and bet that she'll be walking by 18 months. :)
