December *Wrap-up*

Sorry to all for my lack of posts.  With the Christmas concert and practices, long commutes in snow storms, gatherings with friends, and trying to prep for the holidays, I just haven't been able to even think about blogging.  Well, other than Amelia growing another few weeks older, not much else has happened, except...

I'm happy to report that today, on Lia's 3 month birthday, our 4th trip to the orthopedic specialist finally resulted in a diagnosis of "normal"!  We do have one follow-up appointment in 9 months just to be on the sae side, but for now, our baby is brace-free and kicking up a storm.  :-)  Happy day.

And here are a few pics from the time during my blogging hiatus...

Dec 11 - First day without a brace.  Lia couldn't straighten out her legs very easily at first, and her bulky cloth diapers weren't helping things, either:

By nighttime, though, she was starting to do so:

Fast forward about a week...  We're trying to get as much use out of Lia's Christmas dress as possible, and to top it off, we took some family pics after church on the 19th:

So, if I don't blog until after the 25th, Merry Christmas, everybody!
