Pink Fire trucks

Joe has started walking well in the last couple of weeks. He took his first step or two in early September, but didn't really put more than two steps together until the middle of the month. As soon as he got the hang of it, he has taken off! (He has a little ride-on football toy that he used as a walker for a couple of months. He practically jogs when he uses it, and for a while we thought we were going to have to take it away in order for him to learn how to walk.)
He LOVES to be outside, and he enjoys "mowing" the grass. Sometimes he gets stuck, and when I try to help him, he take my hand and pushes it off the mower...definitely becoming more independent.



Yesterday one of the local fire stations hosted the "Pink Heels" touring fired department. They are a group out of Florida who have pink fire trucks and the firefighters wear pink gear. As you can probably guess, the idea is to raise awareness of breast and other cancers that tend to affect women. They allow survivors and their loved ones to sign the truck.
