Finally, the "big" day has arrived! Mabel took her first steps! We just got her PJ's on after her tubby when Zack stood her up and then...she walked! She first took two steps towards Zack. We both saw it and couldn't believe it! We tried again, then she took three steps! I cried, Zack cried and Mabel laughed with delight. Then we grabbed the camera and captured this video. Oh, Mabel is so proud of herself and we couldn't be more proud of her. This is such a huge symbol of how far we've come in this crazy hip dysplaisa journey and you can tell Mabel felt it too. We kept practicing I'll have you know and she has taken about 6-7 steps in a row! Oh, tomorrow is going to be fun as we practice our new walking skills.
So yes, we are very happy here. This is the best Father's Day present Mabel could have given Zack! That little girl is always full of surprises!

When we found out that our daughter had hip dysplasia at 9 months I searched the Internet for information that would help me be better prepared for the process. Most of the best advice I found was from the personal blogs of other parents dealing with the same issues I was going to face - I just hope my experience can help someone else out there looking for reassurance and answers.

About Me
- Mabel and Murphy's Mum
- When my daughter was diagnosed with hip dysplasia I had no idea what to expect, in reality I knew nothing about it and didn't even realize babies could have it! After we realized there was something wrong with my daughter's left leg one night when she was 9 months I googled possible reasons her left leg appeared shorter and read way too much about hip dysplasia. There is a lot of scary facts out there, pretty much all sites repeat the same info, but harder to find is personal experiences of parents who have been there. That is why I created my blog. I hope it can help someone out there facing a simular situation. We are so lucky that hip dysplasia is a treatable condition and our daughter has adjusted so well. I hope other families going through the treatment can see that they aren't alone in the daily struggles of having a baby in a spica, brace or physical therapy.
