Independent Standing!!!

Something "clicked" for Alex last night (that, and we were watching a Toot and Puddle TV *SHOW* from the library that she was seeing for the first time and they are currently her most requested books) and she started standing unsupported. Her form was not perfect--definitely some crouching, with her knees a little close together, especially toward the end when I got the camera out. But she made lots of adjustments, and occassionally those adjustments included straightening her legs to where she had great form. Anyway, previously, Jim had seen one 20sec independent standing stretch, but couldn't reproduce it--this was a couple of days ago. Whereas last night, we had several 30+ sec, several 1-min stretches, and several 1min+ stretches, including a dangerously close to 2 minute stretch (yes, we had a timer!)!!! We were shocked and thrilled and there were a few happy tears. Very exciting!
