Casting Life and Casting Party

Well, we are almost two weeks into casting life, and things are going great!  Savanna has been sleeping really well lately and seems to be feeling pretty good (except for the cold she has right now).  She did take some big spills on the floor while she was getting used to the weight and bulkiness of the cast.  Notice the black and blue forehead??

However, she is now walking like a champ and is so close to standing up on her own again (without pulling up).  All in all, casting life is just like normal life for us, thankfully, although there are bigger clothes and less baths.  Sponge baths haven't gone that well yet, but hopefully, she will get used to them soon.

 Also, we switched our little love from a high chair to a booster seat at the big kids table!

I've said from the beginning that I am so grateful for our family and friends.  They really do care about us all so much and help to take really good care of us!  In fact, a couple friends of mine threw Savanna a casting party this past weekend!  It was nice to see everyone, and it was great for them to honor Savanna and help her to begin her healing journey.  Plus, we now have some new cool decorations for Savanna's room!

Here are some of Savanna's best buds, many of which she has known since she was in the womb!

Here's a photo with her daddy after her casting party.

And, here's a super sweet decoration that everyone helped make to show how much they love Savanna.  Everyone at the party used finger prints to form hearts!

I can't wait for when we get to have another casting party in another year or so when Savanna's final cast comes off!  :-)

One month exactly until her second cast!
