Look what Max can do!!!

Max continues to amaze me with his dedication and hard work. At therapy a few weeks ago, he pleasantly surprised us by walking around the therapy floor in a walker. The kicker is... he propelled the walker by himself, and was not strapped in to the walker to support himself. It was all done on his own!! Here's a little sample:
After his therapy appointment at Shriner's yesterday, he had an appointment with the doctor that is over him at Shriner's. After positive feedback on his hip X-rays and his development, she had him stand for her, then said, "Oh yeah... he's going to be a walker alright!"
He is doing so great and we continue to have faith that soon he will be walking on his own!!

Carter and Max spent the night. Yesterday Max Carter and I took a walk (Max using his walker). Gene measured the distance and we had walked 2 tenths of a mile!!!! He was not strapped in but just holding to the sides. Every once in awhile Carter or I would give him a little push BUT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF MAX! He was smiling the entire time!!!! YEAH!!!!!

That made me so happy. I may or may not have watched it at least 30 times in a row. In fact, I have the dialog memorized.

I'm so happy.

By the way - thanks for the update on boys - I'm so glad I have so much to look up to with Reed and the terrible threes. That means I have 3 more straight years of it - until the next one of course!

Is he almost 4 or 5? He is so lucky to have such a dedicated family standing with him to help him out.
