He’s Walking On His Own
For those that follow my blog posts here or at my personal blog, you know that my oldest son has had some difficulties and developmental delays. He is super smart, but has trouble walking and had been using a walker. I wanted to share a little on his progress and share this video that just makes a mother’s heart smile.
He is now walking more and more. He still falls a good bit, but is walking more than he is crawling. He has AFOs (orthotics) on his feet that have helped with stability. We have also added physical and occupational therapy to his treatment (he also benefits from Early Intervention services).
Both of my boys just make me so proud (you will see my youngest son in the video as well) and I wanted to share.

Hey Shannon,
How old is the oldest son, and was there any reason for his delay of walking? My son is 17 months old and just now takes a couple of steps on his own. He feels more comfortable when he has his “Stride to ride lion” but not by himself. He also finally crawled a week before his 1st birthday and prior to that, the pediatrician had us go to the hospital for X-rays to make sure his hips were alright. Just wondering what you were going through with this and if it’s anything to be concerned about? Thanks!

Thank you for your comments. I somehow missed these. I wrote you an email Krystle.
