Oh yes! She's a Happy Girl! :) 8 long months of fittings has turned into a nice new pair of legs! :)
Early morning start. Erika worked on a thank you note for Dwight. (the guy who makes her legs)

Yay!
As a story in "Mouse Tales" (Arnold Lobel) says:
"What nice new feet you have!!"
This may seem like a silly question but I'm curious to know if Erika is taller now? How does she (the team) decide on how long to make her legs? Cute picture of Alli :-)

Maria, that is a GREAT question...
She is about 5'1"... we have chosen to keep her the same height, as falling is really hard on her. We CAN make her as tall as we/she wants... but safety is an issue. They try to measure her upper leg and make her lower leg to match....
She is now the same height as Anna and Sarah... Alli is taller than all. :)
I think Alli is going to be the tallest in the family.
Thanks for answering! It makes total sense to measure her upper leg and use that as a guide. 'Never thought of that, or the falling issue. I did notice on your ohter post in that lovely picture of Sara and Alli walking, that Alli is getting really tall! She's becoming a lovely young womas, as are all your daughters.

That is some shiny orange floor they have there!
At first I thought Ali was being a chicken (but it is TOTALLY Statue of Liberty, now that I look again.)
