By 9:00 am this morning Megan had gotten into standing by herself more times that she had combined before today. She was getting right up and then going back and forth and back and forth between the two tables. She would go over, turn on a toy and then go back to the other table. I didn't even have to do anything to get her moving - it was so exciting.
When it was time for Will to leave Megan was standing at the ottoman. I reached out and she grabbed my hands and took 2-3 steps to get to me and then took 5-6 to get from me to where Will was standing. She has taken 2-3 steps with me holding her hands to get to me a couple of times but has NEVER taken a step away from me to get to something else.
After a little while Megan was tired of standing up so I put her on her bench to sing with her. When she is there we work on her leaning down to pick up toys off of the floor. She has always bent down with her head up trying to stay as upright as possible while she is doing it. This morning she bent so far down she touched her head to the floor. The next time she put her hand on the floor, along with her head and then picked her rear up off of the bench so she was standing with her head on the floor. She repeated this 2 or 3 times. A couple of minutes later she decided she wanted to play with something on the other side of the bench so she turned, picking her legs up and making her way to the other side. She has never event attempted this before today - she just reaches in the direction she wants and grunts until she gets help. She moved back and forth from side to side several times.
I put an eye patch on her this morning for the first time in several days and this time she left it alone. It didn't come off until I took it off.
What an amazing start to our day today.
