Finally!!!

So we are the most excited parents of anyone you will ever know!! As most of you know, Isobel has been a late walker. She is now 19 mos old and still will not walk. We started physical therapy a couple of weeks ago and she did really well at her first session. We have tried everything to get her to walk, but she is just not interested. So, last night, Courtney was playing with her on the floor and he was singing songs and making her stand up by herself (which she will not do either). After a few tries, she started really getting into it and actually stood up by herself for over a minute!! It was so amazing that we both cried! Also, Courtney was making her walk towards him and, at first, she would just bumble towards him, basically running and falling on him. But then after a while she was actually taking real steps by herself. At one point, she even was standing up and lost her balance so she took two steps forward to regain her balance and kept standing. It was amazing!!! We have worked with her so tirelessly and prayed that this day would come, it was overwhelming. Courtney and I could not hold back the tears. We were so proud! I have never seen Courtney so proud and happy, he looked like the proudest father in the world! It was such an amazing moment. We are so proud of our "Boo". She still has a long way to go but this is such a huge step for her, I can't wait to bring the video so her therapist can see! I took some video, but during the best part my memory card was full so you can't see the whole thing. (okay, so I've tried to upload the video like a million times and it won't work, sorry!)
