Growth Spurts and Black Eyes.

So the past few days have been quite exciting (and tiresome). Kadence is hitting a major growth spurt as we speak and she seems to be eating us out of house and home. Literally. She's gone from 7 oz bottles to 9+ oz a feeding...have to do the whole double dipping thing on the bottles since they're only 8.5 oz ones. HA And every time I give her solids now, it seems like the 4 oz jars aren't cutting it. *sigh* But at least she's gotten over her cold and seems to be getting stronger. And longer. Most of her clothes don't even fit her anymore. Guess that means it's time to go shopping again :)

She took her first STEPS..haha just playing. But I was laying in the "Fun Zone" Sunday afternoon and she crawled up and started pushing herself up on my chest. She was able to stand herself up and lock her legs while pushing on me. Was awesome! (even though I couldn't breathe) Shouldn't be long before she's pulling herself up and cruising around.

The little has somehow managed to give herself a black eye in the past 2 days. Yesterday it was pretty blue and puffy -- today, it's just turned into a deep scratch and it's a little yellow around the edges of it. She must've gotten ahold of herself with her nails. Hopefully it's a one time thing. Kinda worried me a bit yesterday after it first happened : /


Got an automated phone call from her Orthopedic doctor today -- her followup appointment is going to be Tuesday @ 1:30pm. Keep your fingers crossed that we have good news and that she's in the clear. She hasn't been in her brace for over a month now, almost two. But with all the kickin', crawlin' and standin' she's been doing, we're not worried about it. If she wasn't strong in the hips, she wouldn't be making the progress that she is. We've got faith. Keep us in your prayers though.
