Today I Give Thanks for the Ability to Walk

Happy Thanksgiving! To end our busy busy weekend it was Thanksgiving today. We had our good friends (Kim David Alex and Grandma Block) over for the holday meal. Right before they
arrived I was giving Kale a nurse upstairs. When he heard them come in the door he stopped nursing right away and wanted to know who was here. He slid down off the bed and then simply walked across the room. He had taken a few steps two weekends before but it was 2 maybe three steps then and he was grunting with effort. These were his first real walking steps and Keva had missed it. I went down to share the news and set Kale down, he stood right up and walked again. For the rest of the afternoon and evening all he wanted to do was walk, from me to dad, from dad to whoever else was closest. He would get so excited that he was walking that he would lose his balance and crash to the ground but that did not at all deter him. We will try and get some video in the next few days but for now enjoy these pictures.
