Big breakthrough

Big breakthrough in Ella’s walking today! Up till now I would have to hold Ella at the hips and help her shift her weight from side to side in order to pretend walking. I also had one of my fingers tickle the back of her left knee to remind her to lift her leg at the right time. Today it was suddenly different. I held Ella somewhere just below her armpits and only provided stability and some help in shifting her weight. The rest of her leg motion was done by her completely. It was very exciting. We practiced for a full hour until I could no longer stand Gidi Gov, the music that was on for her benefit. With Ella progress is inconsistent. She moves forward and then the next day that progress is gone for a while and then back etc. I hope this change is here permanently and she continues to develop her walking. Curios to know how much of an incentive is having Netta running around constantly.
