Sous Chef

Juliet now LOVES to help out in the kitchen. Here she is helping to make banana nut muffins.

Lil Hop Along

Juliet reached an unfortunate milestone today: her first cast! After months of worrying about her gait, we were referred to the orthopedic surgery department at UCSF. We saw Dr. Delgado today and after reviewing Juliet's X-rays (which looked normal), she decided to put her in a cast for two weeks so that whatever injury is bothering her can heal. Dr. Delgado suggested that Juliet may have gotten injured back in August and never healed 100%. Now she appears to have sustained a second mild injury that aggravated the first one and here she is, hobbling around again.

Juliet has been a great sport about the whole thing, but I hope that her attitude will last once the novelty of her "special boot" has worn off. After we got home (three hours later!) we took a stroll up to Cliff's Variety to buy some sequins for her cast shoe. I have some sewing to do tonight to make sure that my little angel will agree to wear the shoe tomorrow.

Talkin' Girl

Michael is at a trade show in Anaheim this weekend and since he left on Friday morning, Adeline has learned to clap, she cut her first tooth, and we got her to say "da da". It's been a big two days!
