Well, since writing last nothing much has happened with the feet. Louis is still wearing his boots and bar 23 hours a day. He turned 9 months yesterday and is just about to start
crawling. He pushes himself backwards for now. Looking at other babies his age his
bar does not seem to slow him down in the least, more the opposite actually as
it gives him some leverage!
We decided not to put the dobbs bar on him for now. I have to get some Mitchell boot fittings so we can click it on and off as the home made screw fitting is not
working. I have sourced a seller in Canada who will send me the fitting for
$120 Canadian. However, I think he will only have the dobbs bar on at night
as he can’t stand up as the bar is different and he loves to stand all the time
at the moment. I think it is probably very good for small babies who are not on
the move yet. We’ll see...
Below are some pictures of Louis’ feet as they look now at 9 months. I am concerned about his big toes pointing up and over the others. I have been told this settles when baby starts to walk. Is this the case??

Please follow Louis’ progress by going to “Louis’ story 17” and on from there....
