Full of Physical Therapy


He climbs up the high chair, he empties baskets and sits on the edge of them(that is what he was doing in this picture),he climbs up the ladder onto the trampoline, he climbs up the steps to the tree house,he climbs....notice I don't say he walks! He is literally a monkey. So we go for his 15 month check up yesterday and he is weighing in at 18 pounds and 12 ounces. (Yes, I must get the ounces in, makes a big difference in my punkin'.)The doctor said, "I know he can walk, he just needs a little help". I say, "we have ride on toys that he pushes, we hold his hands as he walks, etc." "No Sarah....I mean REAL help" the doctor concludes. Physical therapy is in the future for my little monkey. Have to say, I was a little shocked. I know all will be well...just another opportunity for others to get joy from our sweet buddy! Oh by the way, last night he took four steps on his own! We will keep everyone posted...

Hey Sarah!
I know that was a shock to hear, but I'm sure he will be walking on his own in his own time. John Carter was 15 or 16 months old before he walked (I can't remember the exact time, isn't that awful!?) and so was Lindsey. Like you said, he took 4 steps on his own last night. That's how it starts!!
I will be praying for your peace of mind.
