Quite literally actually.
So you may or may not know Lottie isn't up for standing, well this is improving bit by bit, slowly but surely and she tolerates it much more these days for longer periods. Sometimes when I put her down her legs don't do the splits in mid air and she puts her feet down! She'll stand at different surfaces, baths, tables, sofa and play using both hands now as well.

At therapy on Friday she was given a shopping trolley to play with. I stood her up at it and it moved, and she followed! I was holding her under her arms but she moved her legs in the direction the trolley was going, about 5 steps in total. Very clumsly, but whaatever, she moved her feet, actually picked ythem up off the floor! They have always remained glued to the floor before, to the point where I have to push her feet into the perfect standing position and she'll let me know when she has had enough. She did this moving feet thing twice (can't really call it walking just yet, don't want to get too excited).

Great huh!
