Audrena is walking!

Audrena's physical therapist has been saying for awhile now that she has all the pieces of the puzzle to be walking, but she lacks the confidence to do it. Well, last night she found the confidence! She went from walking about 4-5 steps at a time to walking all the way across the room by herself!

We were told that kids with vestibular issues usually walk later, but typically by 2 years. Audrena was 18 months and 2 days old yesterday, so she's just on the outside of the normal range. I've been told by a friend who is an occupational therapist that they are not considered delayed until 18 months. Way to go, Audrena!

Notice in the video her CI fell off, and she dragged it across the room. I was not about to stop her to put it back on! Instead, I backed up and pulled Reyana with me so that Audrena would keep walking.

Reyana was so proud of Audrena, and she was so excited that Audrena wanted to walk to her! What a neat moment between sisters!
