Amazing!




Our goal of standing up without anything to climb up on has been reached already! On Thursday when Olivia's physical therapist was here she still didn't have the strength or coordination to get her feet under her and push herself up to stand from sitting down. So that was our task to work on for the week. Well, on Friday I took her out to the front lawn to play. She likes the grass and pulls it out. As I stayed across the lawn picking weeds and watching her from the corner of my eye she stood herself up all by herself and walked over to me. You can imagine the pride in her face for her new accomplishment. She just amazes me every week. She is so determined to work on her next goal and keeps working on it until she gets there. Then we all clap and cheer and she is thrilled. The pictures show the proof.


P.S. the last picture is not her being really snotty, for those who don't know, it is her version of "what a cow says". Her hands are doing "itsy bitsy spider" but her mouth is doing a cow. She thinks this picture is hilarious!!
