11/4 - Precasting

This is Toby in his pumpkin outfit for Halloween.  My goodness he is growing so fast!  His face changes everyday.  He is starting to give a little semi-smile when he is entertained.  I've seen him do it once for his Grammy and then he does it a lot for Adam....but he has yet to do it for me :(  I guess I'm not entertaining enough.  Really though he is doing great.  Tomorrow I am taking Toby to the Southwest Rehab Center.  He is getting his first series of casts to correct his clubbed feet.  This will be about a 3 month process.  I sure hope it goes fast!  I am grateful though because it is really not as long as I thought it would be.  The goal is to give Toby a nice flat foot for walking, or to fit into a brace to aide walking.  The ortho really thinks he will be able to be mobile with the help of braces so we want to get him ready!  Also, I have to brag on Toby.  He has been sleeping through the night!  I am so proud of him.  This will help so much when I go back to work if he keeps it up.  I am going back on the 16th.  Mixed feelings about that of course, but I do think it will be good to start mixing in a little of my old life.  I think the casting procedure will be harder on the parents than it will be on Toby (since he doesn't really know he has legs yet) so pray that I'll be a big girl.  Night all!
