omg i'm so so excited and a wreck at the same time but so happy! we had a massive breakthru earlier! cant remember if i've said, but E's now pulling herself up and cruising a bit, which i thought would spur K on a bit, but it didnt seem to happen!
anyway, i went in to get K up from a nap earlier and she was sat there looking like she wanted to pull herself up! so i just kept encouraging her! eventually she managed to get herself onto one knee with her other leg out to the side
so then i decided to fetch E and see if that would encourage her more! i've been doing a lot of positive reinforcement or whatever its called, so when E pulls herself up there's lots of clapping and getting excited and get K to join in! so then Es stood in her bed and K started asking for a cuddle, so i said well if you stand up you can have a cuddle! and she did!! 
i couldnt even say well done or anything i just broke down and scooped her up in the massivest cuddle she's had in her life!! after that she kept trying for a bit, but i think she was a bit tired!
i was really worried that she would do it once then wouldnt bother! she wouldnt go to bed tonight and i wasnt exactly impressed, especially seeing as she did it last night and i've got tonnes to do tonight! but she's completely redeemed herself! she spent the last 1/2 hour firstly climbing on me, actually using her legs, i've never had her do that before, she always just shuffles ontop of me
and then she just kept trying to stand so we spent 15 mins with her holding my hands and pulling herself up 
and then she was trying to stand at her walker, which she never does, cos she always lifts her legs up!
i'm so so unbelievably happy and emotional now! i thought it would never happen, but now all she seems to want to do is stand and she even took a step towards me when she was holding my hands!! i cant believe how it seems to have just suddenly happened and now i can imagine her standing up and walking and stuff which i just felt would never happen!! sorry i'm rambling now
