Picture #24 - March 21, 2010

We took Shelby to the podiatrist on Friday and we definitely have some work to do with her feet.  Well, not just her feet, but her legs and hips too.  What I mean by that is, we had to go buy Stride Rite shoes for her and she has to wear them ALL THE TIME, except when she is sleeping.  Tomorrow morning I have to schedule another appt with the podiatrist who want to then fit her shoes with inserts.  We also have to make sure she does not sit on her knees and we have to try our hardest to not allow to her sleep on her tummy (which is her FAVORITE position to sleep).  She is flat footed and she has begun to put all her weight on her heels which have turned inward and her toes go out to the side.  If not corrected, she can go on to have leg and hip problems, so we are trying to do little things right now to never have those problems.  Here she is today showing off her new (and expensive .. geez!! Why can't they be cheaper when she'll out grow them in two months?!) shoes =)
