What Have We Been Up To Lately?

Nothing new to report on the status of Mackenzie's hips.  She is still doing great and we are no longer seeing our Orthopedic Surgeon.

I do have some concerns because she continues to sit in the "W" position as her preferred sitting position.    I used to always just say "feet in front" and she would comply.  Now I try to make it a fun game to get her to sit "criss cross applesauce" in a cross-legged position.

An example of her sitting in the "w" position

I asked on the DDH Facebook group and it seems to be quite common in "hip kids" as their trunks are not as strong so it provides a more stable base.   Here are a few links to articles regarding the "w-sitting".

Other than that she recently started Gymnastics and is loving it!
