On September 25, 2014 (Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year) I took my first real steps at a little over sixteen months old.  That weekend we went to Quackles to buy my first pair of “real” Stride Rite shoes. I’m already trying to run, although I haven’t quite mastered walking yet … and Mommy and Daddy predict it will be another month before the calluses on my knees are gone!
