GREAT NEWS!!! Jacob just took about 7 steps all by himself from his physical therapist to me!!! His new therapist is a real stickler and does not let tears and screaming get to her-- she patiently sticks to her guns and waits for Jacob to do what she knows he can.

I knew he could do it! Was he happy with himself? Or mad about it? Even if he was unhappy about having to do so, once he figures out how much nicer it is to walk, he's gonna be loving it! Your days of having to carry Jacob are about over! Yeah for the Dastrups!
I bet Dad's right - It'll take some time for him to get comfortable with it. But I'm excited for some youtube action with Jacob's new moves.
