Go Girl!
It is official! Elizabeth took her first steps!!! On Sunday August 30th, Elizabeth took her first steps- for Daddy! Stinker!! She takes about 3 steps at a time usually once or twice a day. She is very cautious and is no hurry to go anywhere on her two feet preferring all fours. As she is so cautious and doesn't walk very often I don't have any pictures yet, but hope to have a video soon!
Elizabeth was born weighing just 1 pound and 3 ounces. She spent 109 days in the NICU; coming home one week before her due date. She spent a month a a ventilator, then moved toCPAP, and was on oxygen for 5 months. She had a PDA ligation, Grade 1 IVH, ROP laser surgery, multiple blood transfusions, and a sepsis infection.
