Back to the doctor

We went back to the dr. today to check Sully out. He is still not walking, he does stand occasionally on his own, but he does not like it much.
The dr. checked him all out again, and said again that his bones, joints and muscles all look perfectly like they should. He said he has some bowing in his femurs but it is within the normal ranges.
We are going to have his hips x-rayed tomorrow just to make sure that there isnt something in there out of line. But the dr. really doesnt think that is it.
We are going to start some physical therapy. I asked if this was a little premature and the dr. said, "if in a month he is walking like mad man we might say, oh we should have waited. But if in a month he isnt walking, I dont want to say, I wish we would have started therapy."
So, we might be a little agressive, but that to me is better than looking back and wishing we had been more agressive.

Pray for Sully's little legs. They are so strong and I know they want to stand and walk!

On a lighter note, Sully has his first girl friend. We ate at McDonalds and a little girl from across the room just started screaming. She was about 7-8 months old. We turned to see what all the noise was about and she was starring at Sully. She literally would not stop her racket until we brought him over. Her parents were just cracking up. She grabbed a hold of Sully and just hugged him. Sully thought this was pretty funny and he seemed to like her back, except for the smothering part. She was pretty cute! She cried when I took Sully away. And she continued to stare at him through much of our meal. It was quite funny, Ive never seen that out of a baby so little. I guess someone else finds him as irresistable as I do!
