Thanks, everyone, for the wonderful comments and encouragement. This is such an exciting time for us! We waited 4 years for it so we are enjoying every second.

Her walking has improved dramatically even since last week. She is much more stable and confident- probably b/c at school they make her walk everywhere now. Now, whenever she has a choice of cruising a piece of furniture and then walking a few steps to reach something or just letting go and walking all the way, she is choosing to let go more and more. I love it! I'll have to get more video as she continues to toddle around.

Thanks again! It means so much to share this little miracle with people who know the journey we have been taking.

(((hugs)))

If I have not posted about Langans walking yet, please forgive me, if I have then I forgot and will do it again. I have been a little bit self absorbed the last little bit.

I was so excited to hear about her steps, and brought to tears remembering Rileys first unsteady steps at 2 years old. This is so major, she has worked hard for it.. .

GO Langan!

Big smile (and some happy tears, too!). I keep an eye on Langan from a distance ever since I saw that first adorable picture of her. I'm glad I stopped by and saw this!

Super news!
