Another Miracle

Truitt can finally, at 11 months old, sit and support himself in his bumbo chair! Just last month, it was still so hard for me to see him in it, because even 3 month old healthy babies can sit in a bumbo chair, but I came to realize my 10 month old son still couldn't. In my heart, it was another reminder of how poor he was doing physically.

Sure, I would sit him in it from time to time, catch a few photos and watch as he fell to the side or back. Truly, he had never sat in it for more than the time it took for me to take a picture. He could never support his upper body or head any more than a few minutes in it. I wanted him to be able to use it so badly, it seemed like the chair would help him, but unfortunately it didn't.

I have been tempted many times to take it to my parents basement (since we don't have one), and put with all of the other baby things he has out grown. Except this time, it was something he never even used. I knew he surely must have out grown it, but I had to give it one last try. So tonight while I watered flowers, I gave it one last shot. And this my friends, is what my eyes did see...


My little boy sitting so perfectly, with his head held high, in straight alignment with his body. Shock and excitement...is all I felt. Then I had a good giggle, and ran for the camera, I was sure it wouldn't last long.



But oh how it did. He thought it was great. I thought it was great, I actually wanted to cry. But I laughed, because I was on top of the world. There he sat, for 20 minutes, sitting as perfect as could be.


It was the best eye candy money could ever buy. Progress is what I saw, sweet heavens, he is making progress!


Then he threw a fake temper tantrum and we called it a night.



What a wonderful night it was!
