So I am finally posting Payton's foot correction progress. The last post had weeks one and two...these photos are....Week 3....
...........Week 4......
....then she had surgery and was put into a hard cast for 4 weeks and this is after those 4 weeks....
Then she was put in another soft cast for 2 more weeks and this is the picture of her corrected foot finally free from casts. I took this pic before she got fitted for her foot braces. It looks like a normal foot. I tried to upload a video of her in her braces but my computer/internet is being retarded and slow. :( The braces are a NIGHTMARE! But they will keep her foot from going back into a club foot. She has had the braces on for a month now. She has to wear them 23 hours a day for 2-3 more months, then she will only wear them for 3-4 years while she sleeps (only). Despite all of this, she is by far my happiest baby! She ALWAYS smiles, she started smiling earlier than the other two. It definitely helps me not stress out so much that she is so happy. Oh, I also get to add physical therapist to my long list of mom responsibilities. After every diaper change I have to manipulate her foot by pushing her foot into a 90 degree angle to stretch out her achilles tendon. So, this is one tired Momma!
Here are just some cute pictures of Payton as she grows.
Here are some cute pics of Matthew and Kylie....Matthew reading to Kylie...
....and a random one of us out and about running errands with Daddy....
Here is on our 5th Wedding Anniversary on St. Patricks Day. We decided to celebrate with the kids and took them to the St. Patty's Day parade in bricktown.
Here are some pics of the kids at the Science Museum. They LOVED it! And, through Nathans job at Kimray, we get free passes into the museum. So, we can go anytime we want, it will definitely come in handy this summer!
Kylie decided she wanted to paint my nails. This is the first time ever painting nails...I think she did amazing for her first time...and for a 2 1/2 year old. :)
We also celebrated Matthew's 4th birthday. He specifically asked for a Thomas cake so this is what I came up with at the last minute. The Thomas is actually a bubble machine.
More Pics!!!!!
Here is Payton in her blessing dress
And more random pics. :) I hope you enjoyed my attempt to play catch up. LOL The kids have grown up so fast! Now I have to get back to playing wife, chef, maid, coach, advisor, taxi driver, entertainer, PHYSICAL THERAPIST, secretary, accountant, and so forth....in other words, I have to get back to being MOM!
