More about Payton and stuff

Well it has been a busy week and a half already, it feels like it has already been a months! Payton is going to have a very active first month of life. She is going to see the dentist for the first time at 3 weeks old, LOL! She is also going to have a new cast every week for a while. She is doing really well so far with her first cast. It doesn't bother her too much. She will randomly scream out for a second sometimes, but I think it's because she wants to kick her foot and can't. She gets over it pretty quick though. Here is a picture of what her foot looked like before the cast. I thought I'd try and post pictures of her new cast each week. So here is before....

......And here is after (this was taken the day she got the cast on). The doctor was SUPER nice and went on and on about how good Payton's pediatrician was for sending her in ASAP. He said most younger Pediatricians will wait to send them in (for a club foot), so they can keep an eye on it to see if it will correct itself. When it probably won't and by the time children are sent in for their foot to be corrected it is not good. It takes longer to correct, longer you wait, because babies are so flexible, it's easier/faster to correct. Her doctor says she should be 100% corrected before she walks or maybe even crawls. I just LOVE our pediatrician, she was actually Nathan's doctor when he was a kid as well.

Anyways, I will try to post her new cast pic this Thursday (if things aren't too hectic and I'm not too tired).

 And here is  a picture of Matthew holding Payton (he actually asked if he could hold her then insisted I take a picture...he's so cute). The next two pictures are of the two older kids trying on Daddy's new motorcycle helmet. They LOVE to take rides with Daddy down the street and back. They also love to wear his helmets LOL!
