Cheaper sometimes to take the leg than try to fix it. And broken limbs happen quite frequently with our babies. They are absolutely fearless and will climb and jump off of anything, no matter how big or tall. Soph broke her leg when she was about 4 months old, we think either jumping off the couch or playing with one of the cats. we weren't home when it happened. Luckily it was a minor break. 8 weeks in a cast and another 8 weeks of her milking it like the little drama queen it is and 5 years later you'd never know she broke it. |
