Ohhhh yeah!!!

What a funny day! Zoey's physical therapist has been telling me for weeks now that when Zoey was ready she would walk. She has been on the edge of walking for weeks now, but has refused to talk those first few steps.... Until today! Today was the day that Zoey met her grandad Burke for the first time. So how does she great him? She takes 3-4 steps on her OWN!!! Then she proceeds to give her nanny Burke a big smooch right on the lips. Must tell you that watching this little girl being so social and doing things that we didn't think were possible, such an emotional night. She saved her big moment for her grandparents! Little show off! We have been pushing her to do it and refused, but her physical therapist was right. In her own time. 
She is still having seizures, and there isn't a lot more information about that. I want to diagnose her myself with absence seizures. Those seem to look the most like hers. She doesn't have them everyday, but they are still frequent. We haven't put her on meds yet. Still trying to figures out which direction we should go. The meds are pretty rough, but we don't want to wait until she has bigger and worse seizures. All in all though, she is still her happy little self. It's amazing how many emotions you can have during the day. Right now in this very moment, I am happy and at ease with my little girl.
