He Walks!!

Pooter is walking now...not all the time but he gets a good 8 feet at the most. It's pretty hilarious and he's sorta doing it in a weird way..he'll end up going sideways sometimes. It's more or less a situation where he is getting in as many steps in till he falls down...he flat boogies!! It's really such a testament to how blessed we are and how great he's doing with the clubfoot treatment. Who would have thought he would be walking by 10 1/2 months old? Wow. Chunk..poor chunk. He was knocked down by all the running kids at Mcdonalds and now has a shiner. It is looking worse everyday, cause it's healing and getting that yellow purple thing. Swim lessons went well this week, as opposed to last week where he screamed "Mamma, Daddy!" for 30 minutes and snubbed his lips. This week he swam with the paddle board, went under water and jumped off the diving board. What a difference a week makes. Pooter is having aweful diapers and whining all the time...im sure I'll see a tooth soon. He's eating everything in sight. It's kind of nice to just feed him what I cook. I've been making alot of homeade alfredo and pasta for him (ok i eat it too) and he eats a hamburger when we go to McDonalds...it's funny...I cut it up into tiny cubes and he loves it. Everyone else has to have chicken nuggets no exceptions lol. I forgot how easy to feed a kid excited to try new things, instead of pleading for just 3 bites! Yesterday I made Sweet N Sour Meatballs and rice and Pooter ate all of it, peppers, pinapple, rice, and meatballs.

This post takes me back. Mine are all teenagers now (and yes, that IS a different ballgame) so it's hard to remember the struggles trying to get spoonfuls of food where they should be.

Thought you might like to know that I've started posting Dismaying Stories again. Drop by if you get a chance.
