quick update

I don't have much new news, but wanted to post an update anyway. We've discovered some new motivations for the creeping, so that's going well. Her left leg has finally gotten equal movement in the creeping, so that's good news. She actually colored with her left hand yesterday, that was really exciting. When she came home, she didn't use her left hand at all, it was like her brain didn't know it existed. We've got great communication too, so that's really nice too. The other day, she climbed up on the windowsill from the couch (the couch is against the wall). When I saw her, I yelled to get down and her response was, "Dangerous!" It was another one of those moments when I realize that she has heard every word that has been said to her and comprehended it. My guess is attachment is the reason that she still ignores us sometime. I am demanding that she answers or at least looks at me when I ask a question. Something happened while I was writing this. A few minutes ago, I tripped over her toy and almost fell. She just came back and kissed my toe to make it better. Compassion is still something she is learning. By her coming over a few minutes after it happened, it showed she was thinking about it. She has tried to comfort me when she perceived that I was scared. My little girl has come so far.
