I don't have video of how she "walked" when she came home but I do have this picture. She basically used her knees as her feet. She could move around amazingly fast like this!
Here is Oksana approx 2 months after arriving home practicing walking with her walker.
Here she is when she started walking independently. This is just under 2 months after the walker video. I can't get over how wide her gait is.
Here she is walking about a year after the video above was taken! What a difference! This is some of her best walking since she knew I was video taping. You should know that on a regular basis she does not walk like this but it gives you an idea of how far she has come!

Amazing. Brings tears to my eyes. I just remember her in the orphanage, Erin. Every day when I went to visit Evie, she'd hold her arms out to me to pick her up and love on her. Broke my heart. SO glad she now has you :). xo
I love her strut! She is showing everyone there is no stopping her.
Beautiful to see! Stopped by from CP Connection.
How wonderfully encouraging to see such terrific progress!
That is terrific! (And I love her fuschia-colored coat in the last video, too - very stylish!)
