WOW HAS TIME FLEW BY!

Mileena with her binder for her tummy around her head, made her look like a baby chef!

Hello everyone, hope everyone and everything is going great! As far as for Mileena and our family were doing pretty good. She turned 2 August 8th, sorry we have been big strangers but life has been a little busy for me now that i started working. Daddy stays home with her everyday, their bond has gotten so strong...i adore it. He takes her to her appointments as well as stays while her therapists come over. Mileena has accomplished walking along furniture as well as walking with a toy walker...brought us to tears to see such great progress. She is learning new things everyday and talks a lot more, wish i can post videos but i have them all on my phone which wont transfer to my computer for some reason...but i do have pictures.

For some reason for the past couple of years Mileena keeps coming up with bronchitis, and we hardly ever take her out when its cold out. She had it bad this time couldn't breath but shes better now. She goes for her 24month shots today and on the 26th of this month goes for her new legs braces to get her to stand straighter since she walks on her tippy toes. Pretty much nothing else has been going on besides work and coming home to a child who seems to amaze me each and everyday... couldn't be a more happier mother.

Sorry Been Gone So Long!

I dont know where to begin its almost been a year since i've updated my page, been very busy with school (which is going very well and im almost done graduate june 16) Well Sept 19th after Mileena's first birthday she had hip surgery to try and get them in correct position, she was in a hip spica cast for 6 months. Meaning yes she just got out of them! Which i ended up getting very upset about they did the surgery the first time after trying to change her cast and taking x-rays they noticed her right knee popped out of place again so they decided to do another surgery :-( im not so happy with all this cutting open my babygirl they say its for the best which is all i want for her yet it didnt do much a difference after the 6 months of casting her hips are still dislocated. They now tell me there is nothing more they can do about it and to wait it out, to see if she can deal with it like that..er gets me so frustrated so now pt and ot are back to see if they can build up her leg muscles to see if they can attempt to get her to stand or try to start crawling again. At this point i dont know what to do because as it is for all of us NEW. I break down and hate to see her in so much pain but at the same time dont know if it really is whats best! For now no more surgeries are planned and she will be seeing the ortho in about 3 months before our 3 weeks vacation to puerto rico. Well i have posted new pictures of her hope u like! And to Grant i love the way you get around very intelligent need to hang around mileena and teach her some things. Also, Kai is getting so big love looking at the pictures such a joyful face. Mileena also has been talking so much i guess since she doesnt move around her only advantage is to talk she's picked up on so many words, surprises me alot!

Loves the camera!

This is when daddy gets her dressed!

1st Bday and Summer fun!

ARMY CRAWL AND NEW HAIR-DO

Hello everyone Mileena's accomplishment this week is crawling... im getting amazed by how smart she has gotten. she's been army crawling everywhere i have a short video of her army crawling to grab pringles. WELL I TRIED TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO BUT IT WONT LET ME FOR SOME REASON SORRY.

Her OT visited her today to measure her for hand splints, got to play with her for awhile without getting fussy (she's actually doing very well with people now) she just chooses women over men. Besides that we have an Ortho Doctor visit tomorrow she goes in for an X-Ray to check and see how her hips are doing..To schedule her hip surgery appointment. Her AFO's are coming along great she's tolerating them very well...nothing else has happened will post again soon but ill leave you off with some awesome pictures of her new hair-do :-)

SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! AND I THINK I DID TOO.

Check out my new shoes!

Well on Tuesday we went to UIC at 730 in the morning to try on her foot braces, doctor had to cut them acouple times but they came out great...and very pretty (butterfly designs). She has to wear them most of the day especially at night when she's sleeping, they dont seem to bother her anyways so everything is going well. Nothing else has happened besides that so will post if anything new happens.

SHE WAS HAVING A VERY BAD HAIR DAY AND TO TOP THAT OFF

SHE WAS SWEATY EVEN IN AIR CONDITIONING (SHE TAKES AFTER HER DAD)

Mileena taking a bath this was her first time sitting up in the tub she loved it.

She fell over but seemed to like it..didnt scare her one bit..surprised me.

Ok ok its the end of bath time..no more pictures!

Chocolate!

So we now know that Mileena loves Chocolate (what baby wouldnt huh?) my husband decided to let her have a try at a chocolate doughnut oh my goodness did she have such a great time. She ate the whole thing in about 5 min. I was very impressed! We missed her PT yesterday hoping she will try and stop by tomorrow or firday even though Mileena hates those visits. I dont see why when they really just try and play with her, shes not that comfortable around strangers yet. Other then that we have no new news yet.

.

Decided to put a picture of her hair up because it excites me more and more to see it get curly. Hopefully as curly as mine.

Here is the only picture i found that shows some curly hair because i usually always have it straight. But its pretty curly people love it but i find it very hard to manage.

THANKS TO ALL!

Mileena and I would like to thank all the supportive families out there especially her new friend Grant Stone who has DD like she does, he is alittle younger but as cute as can be. We look forward to as many friends as we can get. Again thanks to all who have found us and are now followers, as we are the same!
