Mason's Hip Spica Cast Adventure: Progress

It's almost been one week since Mason's spica cast was removed and he has been doing so well! We've even seen a personality difference- so much happier, and his vocabulary has changed as well- he's speaking in full sentences. He just seems so much happier all around! He's a new kid and we are so much happier as well! Even though he's not walking, it's nice to be able to carry him, hold him, bath him normally, etc. Life is so much easier sans the spica cast! As the doctor stated, he shouldn't bear weight on his leg for two weeks... It's been hard to keep him from crawling, and he keeps telling us how he wants to stand up, but we just try to distract him. He's been pulling himself up on furniture as well, which we have been trying to avoid! Oy, but how do you stop and almost two year old from being active?! SUGGESTIONS? Yeah, I don't think it's possible! We've been out and about every day since the spica was removed... we were both starting to get cabin fever! Lots of playdates, lots of swimming, going to the sand pit and playing in the sand, visiting creche, going to music, lots of walks (it's been in the high 60's here- such gorgeous weather!), and just enjoying being able to be somewhat mobile!

Here are a few highlights from the week!
