Crooked back and all...

So, we took Pay for her 6 month appointment on Friday and her stats are quite nice for a Lockhart girl... 25 1/2 inches and 14.1 pounds - that's in the 25th percentile for both thank you very much! Mind you Q never made it above the 8th in any of her appointments. We were given some shocking news when her doctor told me she has scoliosis and we needed to schedule an appointment with the specialists at Scottish Rite... ARE YOU KIDDING ME! B and I always noticed she leaned one way while sitting up and leaned her head to one side more than the other, but we would never have thought she had a crooked back. Well, we have an appointment for the 18th of May (can you believe that's the earliest we can get her in!) and the doctors will give us more information about the severity of her curve, prognosis, and treatment. Our prayer, and what we would like for you all to pray for it two fold: 1. That this curve will heal on its own and not get any worse as ages (which can happen with infantile scoliosis) and 2. That regardless of the prognosis that it will not steal her our our joy. We know that the Lord has an incredible plan for both of our girls lives and that this is a part of it, so we just need patience in waiting for His plan to unfold.
From her attitude and the fact she is sitting up you really would have no idea she has this condition. Check out the little doll!


Bath time has gotten to be one of her favorite things to do. She puts up with so much from her big sister!


In Q news, she had her second singing performance at bible study this week and she did MUCH better than the last time...check out the picture here. She did some motions and didn't have her hands in her mouth the whole time, so things are looking up! She is such a girly girl, she picked out her dress the night before and was way excited to wear it... so much so that at one point that evening (when she was supposed to be sleeping) we heard some commotion so I went in to see what was going on. Well, she had NO clothes on and was desperately trying to get her dress on in the dark, in bed! Needless to say getting dressed the next morning was no fight at all, that was the first thing she asked to do when she woke up!
Yes, for those of you who are wondering, those are motions!
