Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 - Make sure you snap a picture and share with us on the cfpics site. We'd love to see Miss Lily strutting her stuff. I love to read the posts about the first steps.....it's one of the most poignant milestones for all of our kids with clubfoot, that's for sure!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 It is a wonderful day isn't it? When Lily is ready for the " run away from mommy because I am naughty " Olympics, let us know and we will have a race. Next adventure, climbing...

Mmmmm (that would be one cooked in an EasyBake Oven)) She walked I thought you would be happy to know that Lily started walking between my husband and myself Wed. and yesterday walked from the coffee table to the couch. It was beautiful. boy, is she proud of herself!!!! And doggone it, I think she might actually be tall! (When she was born, she was in the bottom 5% of height and this last visit, she was in the 97% percentile--not that percentiles matter a darn bit--but my feeling was they were both wrong--I didn't even put her height on our birth announcement because I didn't think they could measure correctly with her feet--our son, 2 at that time, thought her feet looked like string cheese feet after the 2 color cheese he eats...isnt' that cute?). She looked so tall standing completely upright, legs together. And thanks for answering my post recently about delayed walking. I just had to be a little patient. Having an extra 6 hours out of the brace didn't hurt I believe. And you don't have to reply.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 My non CF kid didn't walk until 14 months. I read somewhere that the " normal range " is anywhere from 9 to 18 months. that's great that she's standing. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 babys all walk at different times. Nine months is kind of early in terms of walking, 12 months is not delayed, especially if she already stands up well. Some children don't walk until 14 or 18 months and all that is in normal range so I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. She'll walk when she gets ready to ee Mother of 3 Clubfooted Sons: - Bilateral Club Feet April 1998 Everett - Bilateral Club Feet September 2003 Garrison - Bilateral Club Feet March 2006 Visit us on the Web! www.WildlifeRevivalTaxidermy.com She walked > > I thought you would be happy to know that Lily started walking > between my husband and myself Wed. and yesterday walked from the > coffee table to the couch.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Yippee & way to go, Lily (couldn't resist, )!!!! How thrilled you all must be!!! (We're waiting for our Lily to walk unassisted- been cruising for a few months now. She starts PT for gross motor skills in a couple of weeks. It'd be great if she'd walk before then. Ha!).
