Telling a story...

Sometimes photos can tell a great story. A story of a little boy, who loves to stand up.

Tall guy

Who needs shiny things to get his attention enough to actually fix his eyes on it.

Looking out the corner of his eye

A story about a physical therapist who knows our little guy so well, that she stopped on her way to the house today to pick up something shiny for him to play with.

Christmas surprise


And she was right, because he used his little hands to grasp it, even though using his hands is so difficult.

Hands

And play he did...he stood, and played with his shiny new toy, and his monsters.


Standing and playing

And when he was all done, he told us with the flick of his hand, and got to swing in his new swing as a reward for all the hard work.

Mom, I hope he wants to stand in it for you while you're here, he really loves standing up!

Jackie, We had to make a few adjustments to the stander, like the hip supports, and the standard seat, but he's doing really well with it!

Lauren, he's giving it the skunk-eye, isn't he!? Hope we get to see you next week!
