Update on Amelia's hip

For those of you who don't facebook and haven't talked to us, we took Amelia back to the orthopedic doctor last week for another ultrasound. Dr. Klingle said that her hip is healing, though not as quickly as he expected. So she is still wearing the harness for at least another 2.5 weeks. I'm not sure if she'll have to wear it any longer than that. We'll see after the next ultrasound. The good news was that she could start taking the harness off for baths (we were giving her sponge baths to this point)! This has been a fun addition to our routines. Amelia enjoys the water, but loves being free from her harness for a while. I think that she's liking it less and less as she becomes more aware of her body (and lack of freedom of movement). The other good news is that we've learned that there is a state agency that will cover the costs of Amelia's treatment after insurance! Even co-pays! Hooray!! I'm so glad that the time is passing so quickly for Amelia's sake and that the weather has been cooler recently. She gets so hot in that thing!



Such a cutie!!!! I love her sweet face and smile. She's cooing alot and even giggled once.
Her eyes are still so blue. I'm hoping for a dark curly haired, blue-eyed girl. I think that we may get it too! At least the hair part.

Sorry, I'll have to figure out how to turn this.
In other news, we weighed and measured Amelia today. She weighs in at a whopping 12 lbs and is 22 1/4 in long.
