Abby gained the confidence to stand up on her own today. For the last 3 weeks, we have been noticing that her balance is getting very good and she has been able to stay standing for a very long time. But up until today, she has refused to get into standing position without pulling herself up on something or someone providing her assistance. Her teachers noticed today that when they told Abby, "Up!" she would get up on her own. As they clapped and cheered for her, Abby would clap too; she was so proud of herself.

This is a video clip of her when we got home today. For best resolution, download the video for viewing by clicking here. If you don't see the video below, click here.
