Go April Go!

Here she is walking!! Doesn't she look so cute?! I love how her hair is always in those cute pigtails now. And those skinny little legs... oh my goodness, I miss her! Sarah tells me the physiotherapist slowly nudges the walker forward and she will take steps to keep up. When I was working with her a year ago he showed me an exercise to do with her, where I would hold her up by her armpits and then Sarah (or the physiotherapist or whoever was around) would push her feet to the ground so she would stand). Just to do that (hardly baring any weight) she would scream and have a fit. Never once was I successful in getting her to stand, so I am thrilled to see this progress.

As I have posted about before, we are still working hard at raising the money to hire an ayah for her and Molly. See the chipin and link below for more details. We have raised 14% of what is needed! So close! Help if you can :)

We sent some for the ayah. My Molly, who has met both of these sweeties, sent $30 towards the ayah.

Hope this works out.

Blessings,
Sandwich
