The Best Birthday Present!

This week for my birthday, Mitchell decided it was FINALLY time to start walking.  This was a great birthday gift, as he is 18  months old and been in the process of walking now for 6 months. It's also quite ironic (and frustrating and amusing all at the same time) that he started walking this week, as we just started physical therapy on Monday.  No, our one therapy session did not do the trick (the therapist is good, but not that good)!  Something just clicked for him and he decided this was the week to start walking for good.  Now we have to decide when to quit physical therapy and if we should take the expense out of Mitchell's college fund.....

At any rate, we are very excited that he is walking and we can't get enough of watching him do it.  After all the struggle we've been through with him to walk, it's like watching a small miracle.  It got to the point where we couldn't imagine him ever walking all of the time.  He is very happy about it himself and loves just walking all around the house.  I have posted proof of our walking man for those who have requested to see it.  (Mitch is not very happy in these clips, but proof is proof).
