So hello all. We are all doing pretty well. Safiya seems to have really taken the leap from baby to infant the last couple weeks, and is really developing her own personality. She has moved from just crawling to bear crawling, and is try to stand and walk...no frank walking yet though. She is saying some words like "ralph"(our cat), bahbah(bottle), mom, dad, and nonono:)
Carol's new fitting legs fit very well for a couple weeks, and then stopped fitting very well. Generally your legs shrink after getting them or even being in your prosthetics over time, and daily. Her legs for some reason actually have gotten bigger. I think it is becuase she works out so much, her muscles grew. Life has been a bit more emotional for her. We have been trying to get out and do more things, and each thing is a new situation. It's hard for her to know how to fit in. She feels like she is a totally different person now, and that is a bit tough. We have been trying to go through the blog together each night from the corresponding day last year, so she can hear what was going on then, which has been hard but good to do I think. So she is having another new set of legs made. She is very strong, but needs more cardio type of stuff, and just be able to walk for longer periods of time with well-fitting prosthetics.
Chloe' is also doing well...as am I. Thanks all

Keep your chin up Carol. You are still the same you inside even though your outside isn't the same. I also found your blog through C jane....maybe you should email to Stephanie Nielson she is also feeling not her self anymore. Although your situations are different they are eerily the same in a way. You both are still amazing beautiful women and I pray for some true comfort to find you soon. Scott keep up the good work your a Keeper in my book and congrats on your 2 adorable daughters. :O) Joyce from Michigan
