Baby with limb difference gets first pair of prosthetic legs; parents buy first pair of baby shoes

The Cox family (@starfish.chronicles) has a lot to celebrate. Bonnie and Tyler's baby son Bryson, who was born with only his upper arms and legs, received his first pair of prosthetic legs–and they shared the sweet news in an emotional Instagram video with their followers.

The video captures their entire day, including Bryson's reaction to trying on his legs for the first time and shopping for his first pair of shoes. "BRYSON GOT HIS FIRST LEGS!!" they captioned the video.

It begins as they load Bryson up in his car seat to head to his appointment to get his prosthetic legs. "We're here!" Bonnie says as Tyler holds Bryson in the hospital room. "We're actually here because Bryson has an Ortho appointment here today, which is the same building that he has physical therapy. But our prosthetics guy is actually working in the clinic today, so he is gonna meet us here and bring us his legs!" she explains excitedly.

In the next clip, Bryson is getting outfitted with his new prosthetics. "Oh my goodness! Check you out!" Bonnie says, and Tyler adds, "What do you think of that?" The camera shows Bryson already balancing himself well as the doctor holds him up in his new prosthetics.

Afterwards, the family celebrates together in the car. "We got legs!" Bonnie says to the camera. "Look at those! They're so cute. Bryson did great, he loved them. He was in them for a long time. And now, we're gonna go shoe shopping!" She shows off the legs and explains that they are only temporary ones made of fiberglass, making them a little more clunky and heavy. "For now we can practice standing and making sure they're not causing any irritation to his skin and that he tolerates them well."

Bonnie explains that this is a monumental moment for them since they've never been able to buy Bryson shoes. "Now we're gonna go get some little shoes for him to wear, which is so exciting because we've never gotten to buy baby shoes because our baby doesn't' have feet. So now he does! And we're gonna go buy shoes for him," she says.

They head to Rack Room Shoes, where they check out a number of pairs before settling on black and blue Nikes. They put them on Bryson's legs, and he is in awe. "Say oh my goodness! I've never seen shoes before!" Bonnie says as Bryson wears his legs with his new shoes. "Look at your shoes! Look at you standing!"

The sweet video got tons of emotional comments from viewers. "God chose the perfect parents for that amazing boy. What a happy baby," one wrote.

Another shared, "I’m having a rough week. When I tell you this absolutely brightened my day- I mean it with my whole heart. Y’all are just such blessings to all of us!"

Another commented, "Bryson you are a superhero! 💙my little boy is a double amputee and buying shoes is always emotional, even 5 years on! ❤️"
