DD took her first steps!!!

Sorry, I couldn't wait till Wednesday...

We were told when DD was born that there was a 40% chance that she will never walk.  She has been in EI therapy 3x a week since she was 2 months old, along with with many other specialists.  We've tried so many tools to help her balance and walk - AFO braces, a stander, a walker, nothing was really working so her physiatrist took her "off" everything about 2 months ago.  So, after waiting patiently for 21 months, DD took her first unassisted/non hand-held steps on Friday at PT :)  I wouldn't call it walking by any means, nor can she stand up on her own but she has to start somewhere, right?   I'm so proud of her - my year is complete!!  Never give up hope :)

Good job, big girl! My son is working on walking too. I will have to tell him about your DD for some inspiration. Keep up the good work!

That's super exciting! They didn't think DD2 would walk until later either, and she ended up surprising us at 19 months.

Congrats!  That is about the time my son started to walk as well, and no he couldn't stand up himself either - that came later :-)  What an awesome present for your family!
