Jay officially walking

Well he's doing it! He's walking, doesn't want to hold my hand anymore. The proof of all this is in the bruises. Forehead, chin and somehow a scratch on his cheek. He even stood up twice by himself at park, without pulling up on me or something else. I think he's got it!! Big boy.

Walking with cart

Jay is pretty much walking on his own. He walked clear across the field after he let go of my hand today. He loves the slide so it was a goal to get to the park. He is doing so well and we're so proud and love him so much.
Our friend gave Jay a shopping cart, complete with groceries, for his birthday in August. He's been terrified of it so I've let it be. I left the cart with the groceries in it sitting right by all his other toys. His physical therapist used it once as an exercise but he still didn't want to touch it. He would put things in and take things out and that was the extent.
This evening Jay and I were on the floor playing blocks and I got up to refill his water cup. When I looked back he was standing up next to the cart and he just started pushing it around. I watched him for a while and realized he was going to be doing this for a while so I grabbed my camera and took some video. I've included the link to YouTube to view the video if you like. It's about 3 minutes and I just couldn't shorten it anymore. He doesn't do anything extraordinary. What I love about it is he's being a 2 yo and he's so proud of himself and having such a good time. I'm very happy about that. Hugs everyone!
