Third Times The Charm

This is our little Jaxton he is growing so fast and yes he does have casts on his little legs. It is to help correct his feet! We have had to get these on three times and hopefully third time is the charm. He has kicked off the little blue ones so we had to go to the ugly plaster. The doctor said that if he kicks these off then we have to cast the whole leg so hopefull he will not kick these off. I don't know how I would handle that. It has been quite the experience already it is hard to change his diaper and hold him and if you don't get out of his way fast enough you will be wacked by the casts. I have been hit a few times and it leaves quite the mark. He has been a trooper and I think we likes them he lifts up his legs and then lets them fall and it makes a loud noise and he starts laughing. We call him bam bam!! When we go out in public I do look like the abusive mom. People ask me what I did to his legs and I have to explain that it is to help correct his feet and they give me that look like sure they are.

I hope this works for him. I had to have cast thingy's on my legs as a kid, but never found out about it until after I graduated from high school.

That's so crazy!! How long does he have to keep the bam bam legs on? And what's wrong with his legs?? I though the way he could clasp his toes together was a pretty cool trick!!

Wow, I didn't know about this either. I had to do a cast once with my oldest...not fun! Hope you can get something to stay on. Man, he's a cute boy! I see you have a bumbo seat too, don't you love it!!!

Holy Moly! I had no idea that he had to have casts on! That really does stink! I hope they work so he doesn't have to have the stupid leg casts!

Jaxton is a trooper and a cutie to boot! I am sad we didn't get to see each other over Ed Week. I will be up next weekend for Ric's sistah's wedding and again in December! I would love to see you!

I didn't even know you guys had a blog! I was looking at Lacey's blog and found yours...Even though Jaxton has casts on I think he and Maddison are both adorable. You're such a cute family.
