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. So there was a lot of crying, screaming, and coaxing before it happened, BUT HE DID IT! Twice! I have to admit that I cried the first time he made it to me, and I think the therapist thought I was crying because she was so hard on Jacob, but I wasn't-- I've just waited for so long for this moment! I'm so happy!! Jacob can walk!!!

After the party was over, Jacob waited until Brigham and I were busy getting kids out the door and then grabbed a big handful of cake. From the trail of cake crumbs and frosting, we gathered that he ran across the living room with it, stopped and wiped a hand on the couch, and we found him licking crumbs off of his hand while sitting on the Love Sac. Unfortunately, it was decorator's icing-- meaning it was half butter and shortning. What a mess! You'd think he hadn't almost thrown up from eating too much cake only a half an hour before!

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.
