New and exciting things!


We got Jack's walker a couple weeks ago. It's a beautiful cherry red Rifton gait trainer that we get to keep! Since he's been practicing, he's taken a couple steps forward in it! It helps if we use plastic or chips bags as incentive. Here's a picture of Jack in it, after he took a few steps toward his prize.












We are saying goodbye to Jack's birth to three people this week. It's sad to say goodbye to the people he's spent so much time with and learned so much from. But I know he'll learn a lot when he starts preschool next Monday, on his birthday. It's scary but he'll be in good hands.

And, for the grand finale, Jack has been transitioning from lying to sitting this week! He did it once yesterday and THREE times today! I managed to catch it on video to share! This is a huge milestone he's been working on for months. GOOD JOB JACK!

Aubrey has the exact same walker - same color and all!!

I also got a laugh that Jack's prize was to chew on the bag of diapers.

Aubrey loves, loves, loves plastic of any kind - and we often have to keep the bag of diapers hidden or that's all she'd do!

So funny!

Good luck with pre-school!!
