Evan walks!

Proud and happy does not even begin to cover the emotion that was felt in our house today as Evan took his first walk across the living room. Before today his only hands-free adventures lasted a few seconds and covered a foot or two. The video below is a series of 10 clips lasting about five and a half minutes, they were shot over a 45 minute period. You can see as Evan gets more and more comfortable, goes farther and farther and at the end even lets go of the couch on his own and heads towards Sarah. I continue to be in awe of his strength, resilience, and most of all, the joy and love he has for everything around him.

    I guess we all have tears. The struggles you all have been through over the past 16 1/2 months are enough to last anyone a lifetime, but seeing the joy as your darling son walks is pricesless… Congrats to all of you. Merry Christmas and may God in his infinite wisdom continue giving all of you strength, love and happiness..
