learning to walk

here's evidence of how fast simon moves on his own. (note that in this video, taken a few weeks ago, he signs and speaks PLEASE.)

here's footage of simon up on his leg for the first time since bringing it home. he hasn't quite found his sea legs (or land legs, as the case may be).

and here's footage of simon earlier this week at his first prosthetic follow-up. there was talk among the prosthetists and PT about simon's in-toeing. they concluded it was the inevitable consequence of his anatomy (no hip!). in fact, at home the next day we discovered there was a loose pivot in his leg. a little wrench action...and voila!...he walks a lot straighter now. more video footage soon...

(and don't be surprised if he's running next time!)
