Ella made great STRIDES today. Colleen, Ella’s PT, wrote in her notes: “Ella walked today!”. That says it all. We were so excited. Ella has been put into the gait trainer many times since we’ve had it, which is about a year already. She never was able to do more than stand in with it for a very short time. Today she just started moving forward using her right leg. A great milestone for us! Also, Ella’s starting to use a sippy cup and leave the bottle behind. I’ve really had to force it on her though. I think it is just stubborness and habit. There is no reason why she shouldn’t be able to suck a sippy cup. So, we are just not giving her a bottle anymore. She pushes the cup away so its really a fight but I figure if she gets thirsty enough she’ll drink it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
