He rolls them in and back, so he stands mostly on the insides of his heels. It's pretty gross, I think, because it almost looks like he is standing on his ankle bones. In an effort to improve this, Eddie's therapist is having us put shoes on him when we practice standing by the table. Lucky for us, my aunt and uncle gave us some cute camouflage high-tops before Eddie was born and they just happen to fit him right now. I'm hoping that having the extra support around his ankles in addition to having his feet forced into a flat surface will help him learn to put weight on the outsides of his feet. If he improves enough in the next week of doing this, perhaps we won't have to buy $50 inserts for his shoes.
This week Eddie just started walking along the furniture, so he spends a lot more time on his feet than he used to. Here he is looking extra cute in his new shirt and his shoes:

Tay stands kind of funny too - but it's on his tip toes most of the time. I'm sure they'll both grow out of it. Eddie looks so much older! They are going to have fun playing together this fall!
