We finally got it!


In May, we ordered a walker for Clara through our insurance. I was hoping to get it this summer so she could practice with it outside on all of our sidewalks. Here it is the middle of October and we finally got it (gotta love insurance), now that it is too cold outside to use it and it is much too big to try to use it in the house (but we get to store it in our apartment). We did go outside for a few minutes this afternoon to try it out - she did quite well, but it was too cold out to stay for any length of time. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer - in the upper 60s, so maybe after her field trip, we can try it again and get some good video.

Here is the video I took. I couldn't get her to stand up, I think the sun was bothering her. It is also very windy, which you can hear in the video, so you may want to turn down the sound.

What a blessing!! I know your family is so proud of Clara. She reminds me a lot of Hayden (WHS.) I hope that Hayden will one day walk too! :-)
