Robyn turned 1 on May 8th. 1 week earlier she was taken out of her last set of casts and got her new AFO (ankle foot orthotics) to go home in! Yep, I cried. And yes, for her birthday I did take them off and wrap them up with a little bow. I'm a sap.
She has been going great gangbusters ever since! Just this week she figured out how to get up on her toes while leaning over the edge of the toy box to grab toys in the bottom. She started crawling in earnest in April! While I know she won't be walking until we can get her knees straightened out around her 4th birthday, she is not letting anything hold her back!
She is getting better use of her hands, though I think we are probably at the most she is going to get until she has the surgery to move her thumbs out from her palms around her 2nd birthday.
Not too shabby for a girl who couldn't open her hands at all for the first 6 months of her life!
