I'm Happy To Announce....

WE HAVE A WALKER!!!! Yes that's right Miss Ella decided she wanted to walk without being told she had too. I must say this is one PROUD mommy! Last Thursday I took her to get fitted for braces for her feet. She turns her feet out really wide and her ankles cave inward. So we got her measured and she went back to daycare that day. By the time I got home from the gym after work, she was walking all over the house. She is a silly little girl :). Also, just last night she started to stand up from the middle of the floor, without having to hold on to anything to stand up. Next she will be running! We are still going to use the braces because it will help her even more to have her feet straight.

I've been waiting ALONG time to write this post. I'm always proud at what Ella does everyday and what she has accomplished in these last 9 months, but I couldn't be more proud of her strides to start walking. She must know that I was sick waiting ;). It makes me feel great to know she can now keep up with her little friends and be on the same level as them. As a parent you always want whats best for your kids and I think waiting this long for this to happen is what was best for her! I'll post some new pictures this weekend!
