us!!!! So we went out for a stroll yesterday in a local town to try and stretch our legs and get some fresh air. We came across a small kids shoe store and thought we would pop in and see what their selection is like.Eoin is just about walking and so we thought we should think about getting something a little more supportive than pedipeds (which we love). He will walk a good block as long as he is pushing something but he hasn't really taken more than two steps on his own.
The wonderful girls at the store asked what size foot Eoin had and we told them a 5. They looked at him and said oh he's not walking properly yet and he's nearly 2? I quickly corrected them and said no he is only 11 months but huge! So they wanted to measure his foot and it quickly turned out that his shoe size was a 6 extra wide. How did his feet grow a whole size in a month! Not only that but it looks like Eoin had been keeping his toes curled under when his shoes where on because there wasn't enough space. We felt so bad.
So now Eoin is kitted out with a wonderful pair of shoes (that are actually 6.5 so he has some wiggle space) that are machine washable (ingenious) and guess what within a couple of hours of wearing them he took three steps independently. Maybe just maybe he'll be walking by his first birthday.
