We Have a Walker!

The day finally happened! On December 19th, Penny walked! We were hoping it would happen soon, we were just waiting for that moment when it finally happened. Penny has been doing physical therapy for the past 6 months once a week. It's hard to really know how much it helps, but she started crawling soon after she started, then began pulling up, cruising, standing up in the middle of the room, and now walking! She is on her own schedule and does things only when she is ready and feels like it for sure! Even now that she has walked she won't do it every day and we can't make her. If we try to hold her up to get her to walk and she doesn't want to, there is nothing we can do to make her! She's one stubborn lady for sure! We meet and recreated her goals a couple days ago. She surpassed her previous physical therapy goals, which is awesome! In the next six months, her goal is to walk independently over a variety of surfaces. With a little hard work and determination I am very confidant she can do it! Even though her gross motor development in below normal, I see that she is making progress and meeting milestones, just at here own pace. I'm not as worried as I was six months ago! And now, a couple videos of her first walk!
