And then one day he walks
Addison walks.
It didn’t really happen out of the blue, though it is still a big surprise.
One foot follows the other and then all those days of standing and falling and waiting and trying come together, brewed to an off-beat perfection.
Addison walks. Amen to all that.
If you’d like to see footage of the amazing event, go here.
Now, we’ve got to run…I’ve got this toddler getting into everything!

That’s Wonderful! Way to Go! If you have not read the book Expecting Adam, try to get it as it is by another mom of a son with Down’s. Inspires and enlightens.

That’s awesome! The video was really cool too - I love how he just seemed to decide to get up and go.

Actually it took 32 tries to get the shot. Just kidding!
