Love this quote.... we did! Their names are Brody, Gracie, and Madilynn :)
Brody officially became a walker yesterday. Yep, without his walker. Big boy style! It started when his daddy was taking them for a walk in their wagon. I walked Brody out to the garage and told him to walk to daddy and let go.... he did it! When they got back we had him walk back and forth between Ricky and I and he did so good. Meme came over later in the afternoon and he would literally just take off to her on his own. This is HUGE people... HUGE I tell you. At one point he even walked with a toy in his hand!!!! Keep in mind his vision is 20/200 and 20/960 (regular vision is 20/20). So even with his vision issues he is still doing it! We are so proud of him. One day shy of 22 months our boy did it! And if you are all keeping count, we have set a everyone walking by their second birthday goal :) It's so funny because anytime we set goals (and when I say we I mean me) Brody seems to find a way to accomplish those goals. Hey, it may be slow and steady but it wins his race and this momma couldn't be more proud of her boy! Brody is also giving our kisses these days. He has been blowing kisses for quite some time but now he will actually plant a kiss on your face. And no matter how sloppy they may be, we love them. His vocabulary continues to amaze us. He said bread yesterday. He still continues to pass the girls in this area. If you ask him anything his first answer will be no but if you tell him to say yes he will. He is at a really great point and is really happy. It is so nice to see. Vision plays such an important role but our boy is learning to use what he has, make up for what he doesn't have, and is becoming less fearful of the world around him. We are so thankful and happy.
Brody,
Slow and steady wins your race. I've said it from the beginning and sometimes I might get impatient but my boy, you always pull through for us but more importantly for yourself. I will always only want the best for you and have the bar set high because you can achieve anything you set your mind to. You are so smart. I love you.
Mommy
