I got shoes...

John Michael may not quite be walking independently yet, but he can stand for 10 to 15 seconds all by himself without holding onto anything and is cruising everywhere, indoors and out. Today, I decided to get his feet measured at Stride Rite and buy him some durable first walkers. His size... 5 1/2 XW, as in extra wide. LOL.

I asked him, "John Michael, can you show me your shoes?" and he pointed to his cool new shoe.

He's discovering that they're good for more than walking... they can even help when climbing up the slide.

    LOVE Stride Rite! That's all Laurie wears. She is still in Girl sizes, at age 29! She wears a Big Girl 2W. They are finally making some of them more grown up looking, and not so "little girl" This year she wants some boots! I think Target has some cute ones. They won't be Stride Right, but she won't wear them too much.

    John Michael looks adorable in his new shoes!

    He's gonna be walking in no time! Our PT is going to talk to us tomorrow about some sort of orthodic for Joaquin. She says it will help him develop the right way to place his feet which will inhibit possible problems in the future. I'm hesitant but then again she has a PhD in PT and I use a type of orthodic for running so why not Joaquin...just curious if any of your therapists have mentioned it.

    Too cute! I love SR. Kayla wears an XW, too. Do our kids often have wide feet? Actually, I think her toes are wide (that big toe gap??) and her heel is really skinny!

    Very nice! Mattie has one pair of shoes but hardly wears them. I'm wondering if she'll do better trying to walk with or without them. You'll have to let me know how he does.
