Yea, a couple of weeks. A bit more than a couple of hours is what it turned out to be for her. Just a bit after what should have been her bedtime, Birgen surprised us by standing up unaided and then stumbling fwd in something that was close a first step. Additional prodding didn't help so we ran to the car & grabbed her favorite CD, Guster's "Keep It Together" and threw it into the stereo. By the time "Careful" (2nd track) kicked in, she smiled and took her first 5 or 6 steps, and the plunked down on her butt and laughed. Yea.
