Eden was so excited about standing by the couch. She has never been able to bear any weight on her legs, but we are very SLOWLY starting to see some progress. She worked so hard with Daddy for over 15 minutes practicing holding her weight, and readjusting the position of her feet to balance herself. She was holding herself up by the couch for a couple of seconds at a time and was so proud of herself. She didn't want to stop! In fact, when we had to stop she kept signing "more, more."It's the little things, that people with "normal" kids take for granted...

I had to comment because of your comment about taking things for granted. I've been recovering from having both feet reconstructed and on Monday I stood on my own two feet for the first time in ages. You're completely right, it's those little things that are so wonderful to achieve.
I'm so proud I could burst!! Well done little Eden.

Keep up the good work, miracles do happen! Who knows, in a year she may be walking all over the place trying to keep up with Holland. Wouldn't that be grand.
Just you wait. That little girl will walk. She's just two determined not to. It may be a few years later but in a few years I bet you'll see Eden walking. Way to go Eden!
