CONGRATULATIONS! Yup it’s a slow process… the mind tells you one thing and the body does what it wants when it wants, at its own time. At the ten pound mark, you're in a league all its own.
I still remember the thrill when I held a telephone to my ear…. Or better yet the exhilaration when I first was able to hold a utensil. But, want to know what I’m most proud of? It’s not taking my first steps or ascending steps, it was the ability to walk DOWN steps (what with the issues of balance, equilibrium and the ever presence of gravity). I still marvel at the mechanics of the process.
Enough about me. You certinly earned a big
