Baby Kate got some Bionic Booties!

Some photos of the babes and her new pink braces. They are tiny! I mean, I know she is small but they are just less invasive than I imagined. Thank you, modern medicine! She is adjusting as well as could be expected. I think the first 24 hours they were quite the novelty but now she gets kind of anxious when it is time to put them on again! We give her an 1-2 hour breaks twice a day. Today we go for a re-fit because I think there are a couple of pressure points that need to be tweaked and the bottom velcro keeps coming off when she kicks her feet together so that may need to be changed as well.

Her sleeping feet. They don't look that different from normal but it is enough to warrant intervention since it has not improved and only gotten worse. She is normal from the heel to the middle of her foot than everything turns in to the center. her big toe should be more of a straight line from her heel and the outside of her foot should go out like a V. They are not just bent because she is scrunched up. They are always like that.

On Monday for FHE, we stamped her feet to scrapbook and frame.

Fitting with Alan. He is great! A dad of 4 girls so he understands the need to be girly with the pink braces.

Chillin' at the park.

Playin' in the jungle.

Getting a hold of one and playing with it. No, she didn't take it off - I had just removed them for free time.

Sleeping. She still slept all night, her usual 9-6ish sleeping pattern. We said lots of prayers that she would be comfortable her first night. Second went just as well.

In her saucer - they make a little noise when they hit the bottom - maybe we have a tap dancer in our future?

Up close and personal. After today's re-fit and another fit follow up next week, then we will Bling those Braces! (You know, in the spirit of Pimp My Ride and Trick My Truck!)
