Still plugging away...

Mabel is still making strides with her new found mobility. She is really working on a real crawl and her pulling up to stand is becoming effortless. She is really doing so well and I'm so proud.

Her physical therapy is really helping, the doctor is still working on the tightness in her back and legs from the spica. Mabel can't really bend forward well when her legs are straight due to lots of tightness in her lower back. Our physical therapist thinks that is what is really causing the problem now, so we are working on that. She does some insane looking stretching having Mabel's feet by her face and to the side, but Mabel doesn't seem to mind, in fact she really seems to like her hour of physical therapy every week and that makes me happy.

At home Mabel is amazing, she crawls around - still mostly army crawl, but still uses her knees a lot more. She's standing to look out windows and at the ottoman and she also is continuing to talk up a storm. She is so amazing to me. I just can not even picture her walking on her own, but we'll take this one step at a time. To celebrate her new found uprightness I got her some shoes. I wanted something that was bootie like so it doesn't interfere with her feeling the floor under her feet and I found the isabooties. She loves her new shoes!

This past Wednesday we celebrated St. Patrick's day as always and Mabel hosted our annual party. She had such an amazing time with the babies and kids that came to visit, she did great entertaining everyone!
