Brace and birthday

It was time for Hallie's 6 month x-rays.  Dr. Sh said she is looking really good.  She has been at a 20' the last couple rounds and this time she is actually at 19'.  I was super worried about this time because for about a month there, her brace just really seemed super tight when I would put it on her before bed.  She typically takes it off between 3:30 and 5 ish, depending on the day, and then we stick it back on her around 9 when she is getting ready for bed.  I was concerned that mayber her curve was getting worse, but my fears were calmed.  Dr. Sh even mentioned a possible "brace holiday".  She is close to outgrowing this brace and so he said maybe we could see how things go without one for a bit.  He can't give us an exact amount of time, maybe 6 months, 9 months maybe even a year.  It just depends on how her back does without it.  She was super excited. 

Since we were in Boise and it is close to Hallie's birthday, we decided to combine the two.  Lexey, her cousin, just had a birthday also and so Hallie invited her to come along and have a shopping day. So I gave Hallie money to shop with as her gift (those are the easiest presents) We went up on Tuesday and since there was no school on Wednesday, stayed the night at Aunt Amylee's.  The girls had such a great time.  I did bring Livee since nobody was at home.  She thought for sure she needed something at every store also.  Chris and Amylee did treat us to some yummy ice cream at a fix your own place.  It was super yummy.  We got to meet their newest member of family, Lewy, their dog.  He is super cute.  Loved  his ears.  Hallie and Lex got to see their cousins and hang out, although I think we made it a little hard for them to get to school on time, sorry.  The girls bought really fun and cute things.  Hallie is really into neon pink.  She bought everything pink.  It was a lot of fun.  Happy Birthday Hallie.
