These (scrawny) legs were made for walkin'

Early intervention ( a govt. program) comes to see jacob several times a month. The last time the physical therapist came, she brought a couple of walkers for jacob to try out. The doctors have said that even though he can "walk" now, that as his upper body grows, his legs won't be able to hold up his weight anymore.... it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. BUT! Jacob has done sooo much more than we ever thought he would - so I've learned to be cautious when I'm told he "won't" or "can't" do something.

This walker that he's been using is ancient -- it looks like one of those old ford pickups from the 1950's. It doesn't turn without a big heave-ho but he can't turn anyway! This is a little video of him using his walker -- he looks like he's limping because his left leg is like 2 inches shorter than his right. SO sweet!
