Sea Legs

Rachel is trying to get her "sea legs" under her. She has been being brave this week and letting go of holding onto things while she is standing. She looks so hesitant but proud at the same time. She stays steady, then those "sea legs" start to sway and down she goes. I love how determined she is. We have caught her walking along the outside of her parallel bars with just one hand lightly skimming the top of the bar. I wish I would have gotten video of the that. With her "sea legs" and love for Jake and the Neverland Pirates we made a girl and boy pirate playset. The pirate playset was then put into a drawing amongst our Fetal Surgery for Spina Bifida facebook group. We are excited to send them out in the mail tomorrow to Alexis and Carter.

During one of our walks this week Rachel walked about a 1/4 mile with her walker. We took a different route and her toddler curiosity kept her going. I took this picture of her during this walk.

I found Rachel her own student sized guitar. She loves it! I wouldn't be surprised if during her fetal surgery in Nashville she got a little taste of Music Row.

Rachel has an improved pancake with the maple syrup on it this time-lol!
