Rory update
|
For those people wondering, "Well, how's R****** getting on then?" but also for my own records, here's a quick R****** update. I'm not entirely sure at what point you class a baby as able to walk. I think Rosie was told by someone at a shoe shop that this is usually when they can take 5 or more steps unaided. In which case, R****** must have started about a week or two ago. In the build-up to this event, he had been playing around on his walker/zimmer-frame thing and doing that thing where he'll walk around, given something to support him, be it a hand, furniture or whatever. So that's good. The amount of steps he can take unaided gets more and more, day by day. And when he's taken enough steps, he usually returns to the crawling/squatting position. I'm sure in hardly any time at all he'll be walking and running around, chasing after A******. Of course, all this means much excitement for R****** but we now have to make sure there's no objects within his increased reach that could pose a danger. All of this has happened slightly sooner than it did for A****** but then A****** never had a big brother to look up to (and various other factors, not least A****** insisting on dragging R****** around to try to get him to walk).

- Comment: indeed, that is what I was told - though it was ten steps or able to walk across a small room. sounds like R******'s there! think the point was to avoid shoes for as long as possible so feet bones/ligaments can get as strong as poss. We had to get them early for Fred as he was desperate to walk outside even though he wouldn't let go of our hands and it was winter, so.. exciting times for you all!

- Comment: What R******'s taken to at the moment, is walking/stumbling around in this kind of 1-year old zombie style, whilst laughing hysterically and clutching this plastic knife that he seems to have become attached to. Must capture this on video at some point. But yeah . . . it all happens so quickly at this stage.
