Karl and Angela Rees

This week went pretty much the same, except that Thomas decided to grow up some more.   Thursday Angela tricked him into walking after his push cart which caused him to take 10 steps in a row.  We knew he could do this for some time, he was taking little walks here and there (from furniture to furniture for about a month ).  Friday Angela set remotes and blocks as bate for Thomas on stools around the living room at a comfortable enough distance that he decided it would be easier to walk to them.  This helped him to feel a little more comfortable, and his walking distances have been inc  read more »
