One step, two step….

The above words are from Bellas favourite song at the moment – Open shut them. But now, they mean more than that!

Yes – she walked! Finally! After 17 months, she has decided that it is okay to walk!

She is still very unsteady and reluctant to even walk, but when she does, she seems so proud of herself!

We were at the youth pastors house for dinner and they had an exercise ball. Bella was immediately fascinated and began rolling it around the room. In the end, she rolled it and then followed it – walking!!

We were so thrilled! She had taken more than one step and didn't sit down! She just kept going, right across the room!

So today, I went and bought an exercise ball because she wont walk without it! We tried this morning, but she wouldn't have a bar of it! Maybe with a little practise with the exercise ball, she will become more confident to go out and walk everywhere!
