Great news and a video!

 
September seems to be Ailyn's month! Awesome milestones are being hit! 

 
I'll start with the best!! Ailyn is really starting to walk better. She can take 20 sturdy steps without falling!!! Last week in PT, she walked the entire hallway (with breaks)! Her steps are a lot different. Smaller and steady. Her doctor watched her walk and said "She's going to be a walker soon!" I walked out of the room all teary and proud. I wanted to tell everyone! I am so proud of how very hard Ailyn works in PT.

 
Ailyn's speech is starting to get better too. She is saying more words. I asked her "Who loves you?" and she pointed to her chest and said "ME"! Turns out she has been reading a book in school that says "ME". She is also trying harder in speech therapy too. I think seeing her school friends talking is really motivating her.

 
Ailyn is doing well in school. She did have a few naughty moments at the end of the week. Her teacher told us "We have to look past the cuteness". She won them over with her adorableness and now they are catching on to her. She comes home so tired and has been naughty at home. But, I'm hoping once she gets used to a 5 day week, she will do better.
 
The video below shows her new smaller steps. My camera shut off on me so I didn't get all her steps. ENJOY!
