Welcome to our World

After only a month & 2 days, Kaelah got to go back to the orthopedic to get her splint off. She had become quite active with her left arm the week before & you could only tell it was there by the sight of it. Getting the splint off was a bit traumatizing, so they let her wear it cut open to get more x-rays. Everything looks fantastic & she'll be seen again on Monday for (hopefully) her last visit.

Dear Danny J, How did you turn 9 months old already? Actually, are you sure you're only 9 months? You can do so many amazing things right now.

You've mastered the ability to climb up our little stair cases & could climb on top of Kaelah's little red table if we would let you.

On March 12 you initiated playing peek-a-boo all by yourself. I was taking a bath (very rare) & you crawled over, pulled yourself up, & then would squat down. Eve...
