Audrey walks!


We were watching tv last night (our normal evening spot) and Audrey was sitting with her daddy. She scooted down off his lap and asked for Blake. Well, Blake was eating and he's also a little sick with a cold, so we told her this. She then asked for Brian. Brian said I'm over here Audrey. He was on the loveseat that was across the way. She started to walk to him and ended up over where Blake was at the coffee table. Blake said, "No Audrey, this is Blake, Brian is over there and he takes Audrey's body and places it towards Brian. Brian continues to talk to Audrey and give her oral directions on where he is. She listens to them and follows them to a T. She even knows her left from her right, so she knows which way to turn (Thank goodness for my wonderful husband who has taught her this). The amazing thing is that she walked all that way, listening to directions, and never complained or fell down while walking. This is the first time she has done all this by herself and been confident about. We were so excited and all clapping for her. She was excited and jumping up and down. Her brothers are doing so good with her. 
I AM SO PROUD OF ALL MY CHILDREN!!
Now, she should be getting her little cane soon. They said when she started walking more and trying things without help they would give her one. We will be able to bring it home with us and work with her on it. The only thing I'm concerned about is her using her cane to beat on her brother's. I honestly think with the spunk she has, that is exactly what she will be doing! Oh what fun that will be.

What a blessing it is to have such wonderful children...a definite GIFT FROM GOD!!
