Our Mobile Man

     We just got back from a family trip to physical therapy. Although it isn't exactly a bonding experience, it is an experience none the less.  I think it is such a blessing for Caitlyn and Jack to tag along on Joseph's trips.  They are exposed to so many children with varying degrees of disabilities and are learning all about compassion and acceptance at such a young age.
     Joseph's physical therapist got to see him crawling for the first time...yes I said CRAWLING!  She was very impressed:) He is all over the place, especially if he is trying to get to his brother or sister.  He's even starting to pull himself up to stand.
     I had prepared  myself for Joseph being behind in his physical development, but so far that's not the case.   I cried when Joseph crawled across the room the first time to get a bite of Jack's apple.  Jack asked why I was crying, and I told him that I was just so happy that Joseph was crawling on time.  Now, when Jack tells people that his baby brother can crawl, he always throws in "and he did it on time".  He sure is proud of Joseph.
     Our next order of business is to take Joseph to a prosthetic company so they can begin fitting him for a prosthetic leg.  Joe and I are starting to make plans for another trip to Baltimore to meet with the doctors up there, hopefully over spring break.  Other than that, our life goes on as normal...sitting at swim practice as I type:)
