New Kicks and New Hardware

I can't remember who we have told and who we have not, so here is our latest and hopefully last piece of hardware. Davis got his SureSteps yesterday. They are orthotics that he wears on both feet to help stabilize and allow everything to grow and strengthen the right way. We opted for the construction theme and they came with these cute new balances. For those that do not know, Davis was born with his right foot up, completely against his shin (possibly stuck in a rib?). Fortunately it did not require further medical treatment than stretching (at each diaper change!) and a trip to Children's to the ortho doctor, but now that he is walking this is the next step. I say last peice of hardware referring to Davis's helmet (add to the list torticollis and plagiocephally). Apparently Davis was a little "crowded" in there. That was pre-blogging days, so I included some pictures because, well they are just too cute not to show off!

this was the night we got home from Children's

love to scrapbook, can you tell?

Our first taste of spring

Finally, some warm weather! These pics are a little dated. It has since gotten cold, but beginning to warm once again, hopefully for good. This day was such a big boy day for Davis. Earlier we had gone to the park with some friends where he played in the creek, threw rocks, got muddy and had to be stripped down to his diaper in the parking lot before getting in the car. Then after his nap we went to the Gardens to feed the fish. After practicing with rocks all morning, he was a pro at throwing in the food. I am so blessed to have great friends with young boys. They have taught me what little boys do!

very focused on throwing
