The picture is Nate on New Years Eve, at the hotel where our family “partied.”
He loved pushing buttons on the strange, corded phone.
We’re pretty sure he didn’t really call 9-1-1, but we can’t confirm that, since the EMT were in the lobby moments after his phone games.
But, that’s not the point of this post…
We have big news!
NATE IS WALKING!
Sporadically and clumsily, but he’s still walking.
It happened yesterday, when Catie was home on her last day of vacation. She coaxed him, and he stood up and walked right to her!
I recently had a dream that I woke up and there was a six-foot-tall egret elegantly walking through my bedroom. My dream-me sat up in bed while I watched the peaceful bird carefully trod next to our bed. It was a moment of awe and wonder to see that strange beast walking so close to me.
Watching our four-legged Nate stand and take his first trek across the room was just as odd.
The difference?
The bird disappeared.
But, today, Nate is still walking!
