Bailey and Miller gave them 2 thumbs up!
Madelyn didn't get to try the donuts but she did enjoy hanging out at the beach
The kids had been asking to decorate some shirts so on Saturday we started the tie dye process. Here is our finished product:

On Monday we went to a cookout at some friends' house. It was a great day for a cookout!
Today was Madelyn's PT appointment and the doctor was very pleased with her progress! He said the torticollis* is gone and her ears measure the same on both sides. He measures the distance from her eye to her ear (there was a 1/2 cm difference on one side when we went for our first appointment). We will go back in 2 weeks but he said to continue to do what we've been doing and we should see improvement from here on out. We will also talk with her pediatrician at her 12 month appointment but he seems to think she will not need a cranial band. Thank you for your prayers!
*Torticollis (also called congenital muscular torticollis) is a condition that causes a baby's head and neck to tilt to one side. It affects about 2 percent of newborns. The cause is unknown, but doctors suspect that when a baby is positioned in the uterus so that her head is tilted to the side and her neck is down, the blood supply to the neck is cut off. This results in some tightness in one of the two strap (or sternocleidomastoid) muscles that connect the breastbone, head, and neck, and allow a baby to turn her neck.
