My baby turned ONE on June 11th! I cannot believe that a whole year has already gone by since we brought her home from the hospital. I remember thinking after the first week of having her home that we made it a week and we were all still alive. I'm glad that we've made it one year with our little drama queen! Ellie is "crawling" all over the place these days, but still not bearing any weight. I called Kids on the Move (physical therapy for kids), but I'm still waiting to hear back from them. They are going to come to our house to assess her and then hopefully will have some good ideas to help her use her legs. The doctor did not have an explanation for why she is not bearing weight because usually babies that can't bear weight can't crawl, sit up, etc. She can do all of those so we know it is not a muscle tone problem. I think it is an attitude problem and the doctor said that is probably what the case is. Oh Ellie...
Anyway, we had a little birthday party for her at the park with some of her friends.
A fabulous girl in my ward, Shannon Hadden, took some adorable pictures of Ellie last week for me. They are her 12 month pictures and I'm in love with them. Here are a couple of my favorites.
I'm taking her to her 12 month check-up tomorrow so I'll update again with her stats and what the doctor says about her non-bearing weight legs.
