After a weekend of celebration and acknowledgement Ariella decided she was going to punctuate the festivities with another first. For the first time in her life Ariella was able to support herself in a crawling position on fours. This is something we have been working on for a while, Dad decided to prop Ella up on all fours and support her chest to help strengthen her arms, shoulders and back. It was a technique we learned in the hospital. Usually we can get Ella up onto her hands and knees, but usually she will kick her legs out or she won't be able to support her upper body, not this time. This as soon as dad propped Ella up on all fours, she stayed there, strong and sturdy and resilient. This was going to be the day when she wouldn't immediately fall or weaken; this day she was going to declare once again through her strength in Christ Jesus - I Am More Than A Conqueror!
