Caloway hears “I love you” a lot. So often in fact that started at about 3 and 1/2 months old he would smile every time he heard “I love you”. The more and more Cory and I noticed this we decided. He thinks his name is LOVE! I am not kidding. We would just say […]
Read More →Caloway was born January 29th and on January 30th was put in a Pavlik Harness for hip dysplasia. When that failed we moved to two different abduction braces which both failed. Then in May he had surgery and was in a spica body cast until September. After surgery he was put in the rhino cruiser. […]
Read More →When Caloway was first diagnosed with hip dysplasia one thing I read repeatedly on support forums was “I don’t get to bathe my baby anymore” and similar feelings.

Read More →We went to San Diego and stayed with our very good friends Dan and Becky Wieder. I know what you are thinking: those idiots have a 3 month old baby what are they doing flying to California?!? Well, our reason for going is posted here, but we really it was an excuse to get to […]
Read More →This isn’t going to come as a surprise to anyone who has been around me since Caloway was born. I am a really bad baby sharer. I want other people to hold him and love on him, but I can’t seem to offer him up. If anyone has ever asked I have handed him over, […]
Read More →There are a lot of things you learn as a new mom. For me, I had to learn it all. Playing with dolls and occasionally my niece– hardly ever unsupervised –was my experience.
