Making progress!!

Luke is quickly approaching 15 months!  He has his orthotics and is adjusting easily to them.  The inserts are much smaller than I expected and he is very patient while we get them on in the mornings. He has been taking a few steps here and there.  He's not walking on his own...yet! This video is during his PT session. Walking was one thing we were not sure if Luke would ever be able to do.  Now it's looking like it's going to be one more thing that he CAN do!  Yeah!
Luke is continuing to eat well.  He's doing MUCH better with his drinks, too.  He doesn't lose a lot of liquids when he is drinking anymore.  Drooling continues to be an issue that we are working on with him. 
We'll have his 15 month pediatrician appointment this month.  I'm a little worried about head size.  I'm hoping that maybe it's starting to slow down! 
He seems to be understanding more and more when you talk to him.  He understands (and ignores - typical!!) when we tell him no.  Luke loves to get into the dog's room and play in the water.  Luckily we have Police Officer Ben to let us know when he's up to no good!!

  1. Melanie, that is walking! Totally walking! He is on his way! It's not one more thing he is going to be able to do, it is one more thing he is doing! Meanwhile, back at the Stolzer ranch, Annie is finally getting motivated by the feeling of rough cement on bare knees and at least seems more interested in walking. If she is walking like Luke at 15 months, I will be THRILLED.
