Standing on My Own Two Feet

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Today during therapy, Michelle's wonderful PT had her standing at the side of the couch to play with some toys. I was supposed to support Michelle at the hips so she would not fall. I started to notice that she really didn't seem to be leaning too much into my hands so I pulled them back to see if she would immediately fall (like she usually does). NO, she just kept standing.


In the picture right above she actually pulled one had away from the couch and started waving at Tory since he had the camera, such a camera happy girl.
I will have to admit if it weren't for this cold I have and the fact that the therapist was right there I would probably have started crying. Funny thing though the therapist told me she was going to get teary herself just because this is such a huge step for our little Michelle. It is amazing the developmental leaps and bounds Michelle is making now. What a girl.
