The KNEES---







GOOD NEWS!!! our doctor, who is awesome, did some extra research and discovered that they would not need to cut any bone to repair the hips, ankles, knees not being aligned problem! this was the best news. the surgery time was not as long, the recovery time would not be as severe, and her pain would be pretty much none. all that they needed to do was to loosen and tighten some ligaments and tendons. then the knee cap would have a proper groove to stay in and not pop out. we hope this will be the last of the surgeries but only time will tell. this was caused because she was born with club feet because she was bascially squished in the womb because of my accident/sitting aspect. my little miracle! (and here is the story if you're new)

















***if it looks like i'm being a horrible parent, as i sit back snapping photos of her while she is utterly frustrated, ok. i felt horrible. buuut i had to. she needed some time on her own to learn for herself that she could and can do it. would it be easier if i just "carried" her around? yes. would it just hold her back and never allow her to learn? yes. so here i sat. my heart was in pain. but she learned. and now. she getting on and off things by herself WITHOUT the chair and army crawling it. yeah. she's a tough one and yes. very prideful...just like her mom***


after all of that blaugh surgery stuff, it was time for some FUN!...


aaaawwww kin. what would we do without you?!
