So, it's December 23, about noon time. My DH is at the kitchen table doing the bills, seeing how much we have to finish our Christmas

. Our children and various

are watching movies, playing video games and other assorted activities. Sam is bored and whining, so I decide to put him in his gait trainer to get in some weight baring in his skinny little legs. Now, he has had this thinbg over a year and has taken some steps, but it takes him a LONG time to get even three steps in.
Well...
I put him in and he TAKES OFF! Not little scooting steps, not dragging his feet, but WALKING! Each step perfect, like a normal walker! I thought it was some kind of fluke, maybe just a hint of things to come, but NO! We have a walker! Only in the gait trainer, but it's perfect! He's all over the house. Can't stop him nopw. We must get going on the fund raiser! We need more room.
Last night I noticed he likes the TV. He would get to the TV and stop on the side of his good eye and watch. He actually got himself over to watch TV! Sammy-so-smart! When he went past the TV, he would stop and lean backwards to watch!
So, to top it off...on the

of the 26th. I was feeding him a really good breakfast. When he had finished it, he looked at me and said, "I want more!" I almost fell over. He talks! We have gotten o few more words, but it's coming.
I can only praise God for what he's doing with our Sam!
Celebrate with me!
