- hips -

Although it seems like ages ago, it all came flooding back to me today when I took Keatin to see her pediatric orthopedic doctor in Des Moines...told she was born with 2 dislocated hips...having to go to this exact same office when she was 5 days old...having to watch her SCREAM until she was purple when they fitted her with the harness. Urgh... The good thing is...that was ages ago and as of today, she never has to go back to see Dr. Lindamann again! :) She was given a clean bill of health and x-rays proved her hips are developing normally...not that I suspected anything different. :) I guess I am SO happy I was that new mom 3 years ago with the screaming baby in the harness...because you would never know now that she was born with dislocated hips! After our appointment, we went to Norwalk to see our friends Todd, Megan, and Troy and both Keatin and Will had lots of fun playing at their house.

I just couldn't resist posting the next 2 things...

My mom sent me this card in the mail the other day...just because...or just because it reminded her of Miss Keatin??? :) Please tell me my daughter isn't the only one who, on certain days, could be described by the front of this card. :)

Will has yet to say mama or dada...but he has perfected squealing and screeching...thanks to a good role model. :) It gets a bit loud around here sometimes. :)
