Today was another big day for Megan. She has zero interest in working at the coffee table. She doesn't want to stand at it no matter what I put on it so we played with everything else I could think of today.
She stood behind and took steps with the wagon several times again today. She will stand at the wagon without me touching her but only steps if I am holding onto her - still a huge improvement from 2 days ago. Today she even pushed the wagon so that she would have to step to get close to it again.
With me holding onto her hands she walked from the front door to the kitchen which was about 20-25 steps for her. And she is doing this differently now - before I was having to pull her and now she is stepping on her own and I am having to keep up with her. Today anytime she wanted something that was across the room I had her stand up and walk to it and she did it every time.
We also played at the table in our entry way. She stood up in front of me and was getting items off of the table, which is right at the top of her head when she is standing. I was putting hangars on it and she would take them off and then reach down to the floor, pick them up and try to hang them back on the table like I had them. She was also reaching up and grabbing things off the top of the table. The entire time I am holding her at the waist and she is just reaching around with both hands. At one point she did grab on with both hands and pull herself onto her tip toes.
And for the biggest, biggest, biggest skill today.....while working with her at the entry table I let go of her and she stood there by herself for 1-2 seconds. I grabbed her again, not because she was falling but because I didn't want her to fall and then be afraid of it and not be okay with me letting her go again. She remembers things and would have latched onto falling over and it would have taken some time to be able to do it again. Megan stood by herself today.
Man if Daisy is ever in need let me tell you we will be in line to help her out.
