Brodie the Walking Wonder
I’m usually very wordy but Brodie suddenly walking so well has practically left me speechless. I’ll just let the video speak for itself. So proud of my wonder-boy! Wish I could take the credit, but it is truly from within his special little spirit that he accomplishes these things and I’m amazed!!! (You’ll have to […]

Starting in January Brodie’s physical therapist (who he sees once a week for 1 hour) started doing nothing but walking and walking each time she worked with him. She taught us the most comfortable way to hold his arms, one of us on each side, and we walked and walked and walked. At first he […]

Kendall can walk, and has been working on her brisk walk as of late. She can’t quite run, but we put her to the test this evening by letting gravity take its course. Our backyard slopes at quite a step angle, so we gave her a nudge and watched her go. For developmental check marks, we can now say that she runs…downhill!

Norrah has been walking with assistance for quite some time. Honestly, some days I thought she might ALWAYS need some type of assistance, not for her physical body, but for her EGO! She seemed to be so wary of taking steps on her own, even though we could sometimes coax her or trick her into […]
Continue Reading →Rheyn has been growing like crazy these past few months. Not so much in weight gain (although he did finally hit 20 pounds, move up to size 4 diapers, AND 24 month clothes recently) but in so many other aspects, too.

Thought I would add an update on our little Riley Roo. Riley is 22 months and doing amazing. She is crawling everywhere and walking with her walker on her own. She responds to so many commands and can follow the actions to many songs.

It seems that every year on New Year’s Eve Norrah declares to our family that she is indeed an overcomer and that we have lots to look forward to in the new year. Last year (12/31/2009) she surprised us by deciding to stand for the first time ever. Assisted standing was her New Year’s Eve […]

Kendall has been making huge strides with walking and here we caught her on her longest journey across the family room. We agreed that we know what she’ll be for Halloween! (All in good fun of course!) We’re so proud of her…

Check out the most recent videos of sweet Norrah! She is walking in her walker (without assistance) and saying lots of new words these days. We are in awe – as always.
Continue Reading →On Her Way
Norrah is learning to walk. Though she has had her walker for many months, she has usually had a love-hate relationship with it. She loves to look at it, pull up on it and play with it. She hates to “do work!” in it. That is, until recently. The video does not do her justice, […]
Continue Reading →Kendall walks on her own!
The other day, Kendall took steps during her Physical Therapy session. She had never taken steps unassisted before and for whatever reason, decided to go forward… and she did it! I thought for sure it would be another year or so, but she has accomplished this task 1 month prior to her 3rd birthday!
Continue Reading →Kendall is a scooter!
Kendall has a crawler and a walker, but refuses to hold an interest in doing either. She has realized that she would rather scoot her way around the house. She’s getting very good at it and her PT is trying her hardest to get her to move around in other ways.

With the aid of a push toy, Kendall takes steps on her own for the first time!
