Goodbye Spaghetti Legs

I can't even begin to tell you how HAPPY we are that Owen discovered that his legs can be used for things other than kicking and picking up toys. For MONTHS we have worked with his therapists trying to convince Owen to put weight in his legs. He usually just picks his little legs up in the air in front of him (which I have to give kuddos for his amazing ab work) or tries to do the splits until he is sitting. Our countless failed attempts and creativity in getting Owen to stand up have finally been rewarded. Farewell spaghetti legs... forever. On an entirely different subject....
I asked Kamryn to watch Owen for a second while I ran to the laundry room... here is how she keeps Mr. Owen so happy!! It was too funny not to get on video....

Who doesn't LOVE a little whipped cream straight from the can???

What a big boy! Good for him using his legs!

Isn't he the boy who just started to eat? Nah, must have been someone else!

I wish I had someone who'd spray whipped cream into my mouth for me...what a life!!!

That might be the cutest video I've ever seen! Kamryn is going to make a very good mommy!

In the pic of Owen standing (which is amazing by the way) I noticed that Luke has the same Little People ark toy!! Funny!

Praying for a safe and effective cath Monday and that Owen recovers quickly! I was really glad to hear you can do these kind of treatments near your home. That must be a huge relief.

Have a great weekend!

Love, Jesse

Yeh for standing. That is our next hurdle, Daxton has no idea what legs are for. I am glad to know that it can be done.
