21 months old: Note* We are fostering a brand new baby girl named Selina. She came to our home a few days before Christmas, so I will be a little busy getting her all set up around here. Wynter got a pair of “Sure Steps”. Now that she is weight barring more, they will give her added support and help her build her muscles the right way and help to eliminate the amount of pronating her feet/ankles are doing now. Let me briefly tell you about a usual day, just to give you a little insight into our life:

Tuesday morning:
6:30 am:wake up to make sure Adam gets out of bed, by the time he leaves for work Zach is waking up. Get Selina a bottle, prepare Zachary and Wytners breakfast, including Wytners supplements.
Change the baby's diaper, get her dressed and packed for a visit with her mom.
Feed Wytner and then clean her and Zach up, change their clothes, do their hair and put their shoes on... be out the door by 9 am...oh yeah, I need to get ready somewhere in that time too. :)
9:30 am: drop Selina off for a visit with her mom, take Zach & Wytner to therapy. Wytner has 2 therapies back to back, she will be there till noon, but Zach only has speech, so he will come with me at 11.
11:30: pick up Selina who will see her mom again next week. Put the kids back in the car to go Get Wynter from therapy. Drive home. Wytner then falls asleep in the car, so she goes straight to her bed when we get home while I feed Zach lunch and get Selina a bottle~ but only after I bath her, because her mom has a contagious disease. Put Selina down for a nap~ put everything that went with her on the visit in the washer, Wytner wakes up to eat a late lunch....(supplements again with lunch) while Zach watched a movie for quite time.
1:30 pm:By the time I am done with Wynter's lunch, Zach is bored, Selina is a wake and we muffle through the afternoon trying to get things done, but never getting anything accomplished. Adam gets home at 5pm...we do dinner, bathes all around and bed time. Then starts the evening of picking up the house, laundry, bills, and all of “life's” little chores.... maybe a chat, then off to do more research for Wytner, finally getting to bed somewhere before 1am (maybe).
This is only one day out of our week...I am so tired just from writing it~ trust me, you don't want to know how the rest of our week goes! :)

**Also: After starting these injections, Wynter has gone from barely standing to taking steps.... we are up to 30 steps!

20 months old: crawling up stairs and slidding down slide
22 months old: Wynter is walking!
