SO CLOSE!




Riley is so close to walking on her own! She is gaining more strength and more confidence everyday. Mom and I took her to see the orthopedic doctor the other day and he still says no braces, and that it should be soon that she walks. I asked him about her feet rolling in and he said lots of kids without spina bifida or anything have feet that roll in...it's just part of learning to know where your feet are and how to place them. Her hips are in place and look great too.
Here she is pushing a doll umbrella stroller, it is very unstable, so she has to use a lot of her own strength to balance herself.
Mom left yesterday. We miss her and wish they lived closer. I can not believe how Riley immidiatley remembered her. She had no anxiety toward her at all.....in fact, I think she prefered hanging out with cool Lu Lu over mommy!
