Ace rocked physical therapy today. ROCKED it.
This post is extremely video heavy, so if you have dial up... well, why do you do this to yourself?
Starting at about 6 seconds into this video, he's not holding on to Kim at all. He falls back on her a few times, but he's gaining confidence... which leads to this video:
Again at about 6 seconds in, he breaks free.
You'll thank me for cutting off the last one just as I started squealing with happiness.
This one makes me really proud because he corrects himself. He leans back a little, then leans back up and gains balance and continues along. He reaches his goal then starts looking around for his praise.
I hope y'all are crying right now, cuz I am. I never understood the phrase bursting with pride. I remember almost a year ago when I was crying because he pulled himself up on his hands and knees to crawl, and now this. It's unbelievable.
I have the most awesome child in the world.

Call Haley; we have a star for his newest "Let's Go Walkin'" commercial!
Oh, and that one where he leans back on the therapist; that had nothing to do with him losing his balance.

I agree with doghouse, I think Ace was just checking to make sure someone was there for his peace of mind or it was a FUN game for him! who knows but those were great videos, thanks for sharing them.

I look forward to the day that Nathan can do that. It brought tears to my eyes because I truly get how enormous this is and how proud you feel right now.

Oh man...
Yeah I got your text message but I was in North Carolina (300 miles from my 'puter) so I couldn't respond appropriately to your blog additions.
Let it be known that long story short I am celebrating a past due beer fest right now so I am typing one character every .7342 seconds to make up for... okay whatever I'm drunk.
CONGRATS ACE!!! Your Wall-E eyes are not nearly as present today as they once were and you can walk on your own. That's a LOT better than I can say for myself right now (yet somehow I try to be as meticulous as possible at typing... you have no idea how many times my backspace key has been hit).
Also great job Stacey. Your dedication to your child is second to none. :)
This is so great! YAY ACE!!!
alright...ya got me. i'm spewing out tears like a water fountain.
go, ace! you rock the catbox, baby.
Awesome awesome and MORE awesome! I'm so happy for both of you!
Tears are definitely a flowing.
GO ACE!!! AWESOME JOB little man! Keep it us, cuz we are all so proud of ya! Hugs and kisses to you both!
great videos!!! Ace is amazing!
It is amazing to see him going like that! Soon enough your going to be wondering why you wanted him to walk so badly!he-he...well maybe not!! What an accomplishment for him..i hope he got a big choclate bar or something to keep up the encouragement!!
I cannot even begin to tell you how much this made my day. I came across your blog today and I just cried watching these videos. I am just hoping that I will see my son doing the same thing sooner or later. My son was born at 26w3d and he is now 16months. This blog is great. I have been laughing for almost two hours just trying to go back and read everything. I think your son is amazing!
Thank you - Rebecca
Stacey that's so awesome!!
Hoorah!
And I just can't get over how absolutely adorable he is. That smile is one of the most beautiful things I've seen this side of heaven.
