Well, the past few days, we've been hanging out at "The Ranch" (aka my Mom's second house). While there Julia was having fun using her little walking push toy roaming the house following me or her sisters. Quite cute. When all of a sudden.....guess who took a step without support.....
DALE!! Ok, I know that was mean. I called my mom and told her and she was mad at me for a minute, but got over it. Dale had surgery on his foot at the end of August and couldn't bear any weight at all on his foot. He visited the doctor last week and got the ok to begin walking with the assistance of crutches and only do what he could tolerate. 
The goal was to be without crutches by his next visit (Oct 8th). Well, he just gave it a try and took a few steps without his crutches. Of course, he still has to use his boot,
but it's progress nonetheless. Yay, Dale! By the way, Julia will be walking anytime. Guess who took a step yesterday? Julia really did. She was standing holding Dale's hands, let go, took a step, and then sat down. She didn't fall down, she just slowly sat down. It was too cute!
