We are alive. It's been a crazy past couple weeks. We took a trip to California to spend Easter with my family. It was so fun, but I came home and had NO desire to get on the computer at all. I've gotten on a couple times to post a picture or two real quick, but never got far.
HOWEVER...today Dylan decided to start WALKING and I had to get on real quick and share!! So he has been taking two or three steps here and there pretty much since he got his leg, but never tried anything more than that. He actually hit his face pretty hard one time falling from taking a couple steps and so he was much more reserved after that. He's cutting FOUR teeth right now and is getting over a little cold he picked up in California, so he's been SUPER fussy and uncomfortable and has had NO desire to do anything (especially try to walk) but be held by me or sit in my lap. He's been so sad. :(
Well, today after work, Bryson was trying, once again, to get him to walk a little...and he just took off and walked across the whole room. He's not super stable, but he's actually taking lots of steps all at once! It's SOO exciting! He'll be good and stable in no time now that he knows he can do it! We're so proud and excited and still amazed by our little warrior!

ReplyDeleteThat was a happy little man but the voices of mom and dad are thrilling me too. So many emotions between birth day and this day for you two. A happy, walking life ahead for this little warrior.
ReplyDeleteI arrived here from Ashleys blog and I only want to tell you that I admire you and your husband for such a courageous approach on Dylan's leg journey. I send Dylan and all of you blessings and sincere positive thoughts so he continue fighting and doing really well :) I hope to keep reading more and more sucessful stories.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so excited for you guys! I've been following your blog since make it and love it's ashley sent us over. I love hearing about Dylan's progress and am glad things are going so well! Yay for walking Dylan!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been following Dylans Progress since the day before surgery. He's done so well it seems! Congratulations to him for taking those steps, and you are all so brave for going through this together. I wish you the best!!!
ReplyDeleteAwsome Awsome Awsome! I am so proud of Dylan (and our kiddo's) Hey just a side note - I have frequantly thought about taking Jack to the beach, but didnt know if he could get his prosthetic wet (guess I could ask my prosthetist...) but what did yours say, and/or did you just do it on your own?a I wonder how jack is supposed to play on the beach and run without his leg on, but then how is he supposed to get in the water with it on too?
ReplyDeleteKids are so accepting,your little man knows that his prosthetist = walking, its just part of his clothing I guess, watching babies learn to walk is so special, for you even more so, big brother is as happy as mum and dad, you have done a great job with your boys, continued happiness and luck from Australia.
ReplyDeleteYEAAAAAYYY!!! Congratulations Dylan! You make my heart smile.
ReplyDeleteHi Katie -thanks so much for stopping by my blog and giving me the link to yours. We love to connect with other FH families. Your boys are adorable! It looks like Dylan is doing great! I enjoyed reading through your posts.
