What an amazing Kid I've got!

Well I actually have 4 amazing kids. My little Christopher is trying so hard to crawl and he is almost there. We were told he may not crawl at all, or at least not for another year or so. This little guy is so stinkin determined it's amazing to me. If there is something he wants from clear across the room, he will get there no doubt. It is very cool to watch, he just never gives up.
With our help now he stands up while locking his knees and he holds it there for about 10sec. or so. That may not sound amazing, but trust me it is, And he is so proud of himself when he does it too. With Spina Bifida you don't know the severity of the disability until they start hitting or missing mile stones. So right now they are telling us that yes, he will walk but he may only need a brace for his right foot. His left foot is alot stronger. Now that's not to shabby at all.
Emily, James and Spencer are just the most amazing brothers and sister! They work right along side Rob and I to help Christopher achieve these goals. They work on exercises with him and cheer him on when he is trying so hard. How can Christopher not succeed when he has siblings like these?
I just love being a mom to these four fabulous kids!
