Walking?

Brooklyn continues to make progress over time. We were excited that she took her first step today! (to her brother Collin) and then took a few more to her dad. She has been using her walker some, and does pretty well walking along couches or other structures. She also does just fine walking while holding someone's hand.

She is also able to understand a lot of things, including looking around for people that she is asked about. She has not lost her enthusiasm for people (HI! to so many new faces she encounters), says mama and a few other words (I'm pretty confident she even said Gra Ma Ma after talking on speaker phone with Grandma Young). She is very good at getting what she wants and is able to go down stairs very well, and even does pretty well going up them too. Her peek-a-boo is flat out adorable and she has NO personal space issues (she is very comfortable putting her face right next to another person's).

It was two years ago this week that she received her current shunt, and words can't express how nice it is that she has not had to have a surgery in some time.

In short, life has become pretty normal for her and we are grateful for the joy she brings into our life. So much has happened over the past two years, with so much to be grateful for.
