Walking!

I've been meaning to post this for quite some time now! Livia Joy took her very first steps on April 1! Her lack of walking has been a bit of a concern for me for quite some time, so it was wonderful to see her take some steps!

Since then we have discovered that her stomach muscles are a little weak, which makes it difficult to walk. A weak stomach is common in preemies and she will easily overcome this obstacle with a little physical therapy. I guess it's nice for me to know there is a good reason for her uncertainty with walking. It also makes me less anxious about getting her to walk.
We had our first physical therapy appointment last week and she had a great time. She's been (timidly) walking all through the house ever since! The physical therapist thinks she just needs a little jumpstart to get those muscles working.
We're well on our way!
Here is a short video of her for real first steps! I can't believe Chris got it on video!

(my favorite part is when she takes Micah's shoe and indignantly throws it from her path!)
