Hip dysplasia

So Addie is currently in a Pavlik harness for treatment of hip dysplasia. She has been in it going on 3 months already and it has for sure been a challenge. She has it on 24/7 and just recently I have been able to take her out of it long enough to give her a real bath instead of a sponge bath. She cant wear all the many cute clothes she got from everyone. I have been putting a lot of clothes in storage that she never got to wear because they are to small now! At her last appointment with the specialist, he said that there has been progress and starting Febuary 16th she can be out of her harness for 8 hours a day but has to be in it for the remainder. On March 17th is her next appointment, at that appointment we get to find out if we have to continue or what!

Family Walk in the Park

We as a family went for a walk at the Molalla River State park in Canby. It was a lot of fun and we have decided to do it more often!

Addie Laughs

Addie has started to laugh at Mommy! All Mommy has to say is Ahhhhh Boo!

Addie's First Christmas

Addie's First Christmas consisted of her waking up at 10am and drinking a bottle then opening her presents later!! I have a feeling next year she will be more into Christmas! I am for sure looking forward to all the many Christmas' to come! We are so thankful for all the many blessings we have in our lives. We all loved the presents we received. We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and will have a very happy New Year.

Karson had Addie's name for Christmas this year and Karson made her this blanket and got her these two very cute outfits!

Grandma and Grandpa Wilcken gave her this for Christmas

and these pants and onsies

Mommy and Daddy gave Addie this tummy time and back time play mat!

She has already started using all the many presents. And a special thank you to cousin Karson! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa we miss you and cant wait for you to come back home. We love all our family and hope that everyone had a great Christmas. We hope next year we will all be able to be together as a family!

Christmas Eve

Christmass Eve was spent at Justin's Aunt Penny's House in the Portland area. We had a gift exchange and ate food and home made Christmas treats. We had a lot of fun! The only down side was it took us twice the amount of time as normal to drive there! The dang roads are still bad! It was a very bumpy, scary ride!

The Winter Freeze in Oregon

Ok you know the song "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow" well I am singing "Let it Stop, Let it Stop, Let it Stop" I enjoyed it for the first 2 days but it has been almost two weeks of bad winter weather and here in Oregon we are not equiped to deal with this weather especially for a long amount of time! I have been stuck in my house the whole time and it is not that I dont want to leave but our vehicle is not capable of getting around in this weather. Lets just say I am for sure going crazy!!!! We still have Christmas shopping to do and the weather is not sopposed to get better until after Christmas! Does anyone have any ideas!!! There is only so much cleaning one person can do!

This is right out our backdoor. That is our picnic table

Allie playing in the snow. She really enoys the snow as you can tell!

Echo does not enjoy the snow as much as Allie

Our car buried in the snow. We have bald tires, no chains and its not a 4x4. We are stuck!

Santa

Addie went to see Santa last week and She told santa she wanted Baby Einstein, Bumbo and toys to play with!
