She Did It All By Herself!

A picture is worth a thousand words.....
A few months ago, I posted that Emma had taken a few steps. They were stumbled & jumbled, but she made a few steps. Since then, she has been practicing and using her walker at school and at church. On Friday, she surprised us (and herself) again, by actually walking. I mean real, actual steps, with no support! She is so excited, and so proud! She keeps saying "I walked! I walked" and keeps trying to do it again over and over. This picture shows her biggest accomplishment yet. It's a distance of about 9 feet. ( I measured) and she's done it twice now. I love to see her so happy with herself. One of the best moments ever. GO EMMA!

Susan, that is SO inspiring! Sometimes I don't want to get up and walk 9 feet and it's easier for me than it is for Emma. :)
