Living on the Edge

That is what Max has been doing the last couple of days!! He is usually really cautious with ever thing he does. It started with him not wanting to sit in his bouncy chair for his g-tube feeds anymore. We buckle him in to his chair and he has managed to find a way to wiggle out and stand in his chair for his feedings. I don't know what I am going to do for his feeds if he won't sit in his bouncy seat and you can't hold the wiggle worm. I guess there is always his jump-a-roo!!



Over the last couple months Max has started taking a couple steps to us with a lot of coaxing. We usually set him up against a chair and sit a couple feet away from him and say "come here Max" and after a giggle session, he we take a couple steps. The other day after he took his steps towards me, he turned around and walked back to the chair. I was in shock! I also witnessed him standing at the chair in our living room and taking a couple steps to the end table. Today at day-care, he had his first walking injury that left a goose egg on his forehead. He was standing next to a rocking chair and walked about three feet to his jump-a-roo. And then he attempted to walk back to the chair and took a fall in to the rocking chair. I am so proud of the little guy for having the confidence to take steps when no one is there to catch him!!
