Mental Father has been writing up a storm lately and I have only just started to get back into writing. So, if you want more detailed and reliable updates on Ella's progress, please check his page out.
Yesterday was a very happy and surprising day. While at the mall Ella walked about 50 feet all by herself, not touching anything. She would have gone further, but she was starting to veer away from me and where we needed to go so I called out to her to follow me. She then realized that she wasn't near anything to hold on to and she dropped into a crouch with her hands touching the floor. Later in the day she walked to whole distance of the house (also about 50 feet) from front to back 2 times without touching anything.
It is so freeing to be able to walk around with her and not have to hold her hand all the time. And she seems to like her new freedom of movement, too.
More later, including a list of all the things that Ella likes to hug.
