Big Steps

You're 14 months old and you're definitely mobile. You certainly know your way around our house.



As you can see, you're durable, you're brave, you love to laugh and play, you can stand, you can sit, you can crawl, you can even squat (but you can't do the fancy-walkin' that Toby was doing)!



But, there may be a new mode of transportation soon.



We think you're getting the hang of walking...and actually getting frustrated that you can't do it yet.

So, say hello to bruised knees and the inevitable floor-meets-Aidan; you're feeling walk-ish!

Watching these videos and seeing how strong, determined and fearless you are gives me strength. Tomorrow is your surgery. You have a dermoid cyst growing on your skull near your right temple. It's a small day surgery; but it's spooky and scary none-the-less. But, every day you amaze me, Aidan, and I know you're going to just kick this surgery's butt.

Not that it's been holding you back in any way, but once we get this big step of your surgery out of the way, I know you're going to be right back at taking big steps on your own.
