New Purple Cast

We went back to Salt Lake yesterday to get Daphnee's cast changed.  It was pretty simple and took less than an hour once she was in the operating room.  They put her to sleep, bathed her, examined her hips and re-casted them.  She is in a slightly different position but not enough to really notice. 
Dallin asked that her second cast be purple this time.  And she is going to be in this cast for about 4 1/2 weeks instead of another 6 like we originally thought.  We have a an appointment on January 9th to get her cast off.  Then she will be in the hard plastic brace that she was in before for several months, just mostly at night.  
  Daphnee is doing well and doesn't seem to notice that anything is different than before.  We only have about a month left of no stroller, no bouncy seat, no swing, no change tables (in public), no high chair and another special car seat. 
It's very awkward to hold her and try and not hit her feet on things, but she plays well laying on her play mat.  She also loves to be held a lot so she can sit up and does some tummy time propped up on pillows.

I'm so glad she's doing well! And that she's ahead of schedule on her cast! That's wonderful!
