Purple? Who let me have a purple cast?

Yes, this week they pulled out all of the stops at Children's hospital and gave me a purple cast. No biggie - I can handle the inevitable jokes. Apparently there are no more colors available, so we'll see a repeater next week. In any case - there's pretty nice progress on the foot, and this week they are putting some shape on my arch as well.

There's a restatement of my last weight to report. The "pearl" cast checked in at 2.5oz instead of 4.5, so I was really more like 7lbs, 13 oz. Since I've been gaining a little under an ounce/day, I think I'm over 8lbs now, but who knows?

My latest trick is that I stick my tongue out at Dad a lot. According to the books, that means I'm trying to talk back, but I'm really just taunting him...

I'm feeling less gassy than last week, which makes everyone here in Denver happier. Hope you weren't worried about the "grumpy" picture - it's just there for historical accuracy.

Until next time.
