We Have Take Off.....

Today Jack took his first steps on his own, and my heart went CrAzY!!! It was a fantastic moment... I was just folding some laundry in our room and he was out in our landing area wrestling with his older sis, when he got the urge to stand up on his own. Now this little move is nothing new to us, he will always just get on this kick when he loves to just stand up and show everyone that he can balance - never for his PT Mark - but always at some point during the day he will show off.... Then there was tonight... He stood up, and every time he does I start saying "take a step, take a step", and then he did.. with his little right leg he took a step, Elle and I went crazy, and Jacks eyes lit up, then he started doing this little pivot move... just moving around in a circle with this one leg moving and then he went down on his bum. He stood up again and then went for it, 1,2 steps each leg moving forward holding on to nothing...... You don't understand what this means to me. Its something so little but so HUGE for us. The best part is, now he will be trying every day to take those steps... He did it, he understands its something big - because his favorite, loudest cheerleader Elle was right there screaming for him - and that is what makes our little man go... That cheering that joy. You see it in his eyes every time....

  1. YAY!!! That's so great!!! I can just picture the moment, his eyes growing so big as he's cheered on. So exciting!!! You'll have to make sure you have the camera out to record it. And how cute is Elle. What a great big sister she is.
