Baby steps

Steps Natalie walked between me and Caryn today after therapy: 15.

Now we have to get her to use walking as her locomotive method of choice between things at home. Right now she mostly walks between two people...but if she's walking 15 steps, she's capable of walking small steps between things. She cruises around the kitchen, holding on to drawer pulls, and she cruises along the couch, and she walks her toy walker all the way around the house, but she never lets go of anything without dropping to her knees and crawling.

WhooHoo, Natalie. Walkin' Girl! I can't wait to see THAT for myself on Sunday!! Pretty soon you will be walking and clapping all at the same time! What a cutie!

When our daughter Emma (also RTS) was at this stage, I got a hula hoop. I held onto it, put her inside and had her hold onto the other side facing forward (hopefully that makes sense). It still gave her the sense of holding onto something, yet it made her do more on her own. Just wanted to share:). 15 steps is GREAT!! It sounds like she's ready:).
