Walking Update

We haven't gotten the gravity assisted walking started yet because we needed to make a few more adjustments. We discovered that the floor that Noah will be walking on has become very uneven over the years, and we are working on getting that fixed before we get him started.

When he walks, he is in a harness that is connected to a rolling dolly above. He is connected by ropes, and in the beginning only carries a portion of his weight -- making it gravity assisted. So if the floor is an inch lower in one area, he's not going to be carrying much of his weight.

However, we should get that problem solved today thanks to my mom's string and weight method. She's a very smart lady. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of Noah walking up soon!
