Video: It's a walk in the park!

Daniel is getting faster pushing his little wagon but hasn't yet learned to turn around so it doesn't take Daniel long to go from one end of our living room to the other. So...on the weekend we took him down to Hyde Park where he could go and go and go.... Shane (Daniel's Dad) thinks Daniel must have walked about 500 metres! His little wagon is handy too for carrying his Mum and Dad's drinks back from the kiosk (in the first video).

Video: Daniel's First Steps to Walking!

Daniel's First Leg!

The day finally arrived and we picked up Daniel's prosthetic from the Limb Fitting Centre!

We think Daniel understands the significance because a huge grin comes across his face when he stands up on both feet.

He is having to adapt his crawling style to cope with the prosthetic which is causing a bit of frustration. But the exciting thing was that Daniel stood for over 5 seconds without holding onto anything...while eating yoghurt coated raisins. This happened within an hour of using the prosthetic.

Taking it on and off is a bit more convoluted than slipping into some thongs (if you are Australian) or flip flops (if you are British) but I am sure we

will get pretty quick at it and it will become routine.

Because kids grow so quickly, we are due back at the Limb Fitting Centre in a month to start the fitting process again!

We don't think it will be long until he starts walking...and running. Then the fun will start!
