Walking...

So finally, my little baby P is walking! She took about 6 steps in a row on Wednesday. I am so happy. Ironically, that morning we had an appointment with a physical therapist as recommended by her pediatrician. He thought he sensed a weakness in her left leg and suspected that could be the reason for her delay in walking. The therapist basically said she sensed no weakness in her leg. She said that she had all the skills she needed to walk and that it seemed to be a confidence issue.

Well, that night my husband had a bag of Cape Cod chips. Sarah saw them and was interested. She was standing and actually took the 6 or so steps toward him. He only let her have a tiny piece. But since then she has taken quite a few more steps. It really is exciting to watch her!
