This weekend was very fun! Tiff had a great birthday, I got to see some old friends, and sleep in (even if we did go to bed at the time I usually wake up)! It was also nice to have to some warmer weather for the first time in a while! I can't wait to go back again. It had been 6 months, and this time it looks like it could be a few weeks!
On another note, today was Milwaukee Monday. Every 3 months we've been having check-ups with Dr. Denny on Brode's bone healing. Their check-up clinic hours are only on Mondays so it was yet another Milwaukee Monday. This trip was the transition from checking progress from the last surgery to planning the next surgery. He said everything was looking great, Brode has made some great progress and they are not anticipating having to do much work during the next surgery. It was strange being back to the hospital but as Matt and I pulled in we couldn't help think we just left. The smells were all so familiar. The only difference, the toddler that sat in the chair next to me. When we started the process Brode was 4 months old, he couldn't even sit up alone. Today he answered yes and no to Dr. Denny's questions, sat in the chair next to me, and said good-bye to all the nurses as we left. I had to laugh, but couldn't believe how big he was! We're in another waiting period as they schedule surgery so there shouldn't be any more progress until June or July.

After his appointment we went to the Mayfair Mall. We were only at the hospital for an hour (45 minutes in the waiting room, 15 in the doctors room) so Brode wouldn't have been able to handle the quick turn around of a 2 hour car ride home. We walked around the mall, made a few purchases, played with some toys, and then headed to Applebees for dinner. Brode ate his entire dinner of corn dogs, apples, and for being such a good boy at the doctor - his special drink of chocolate milk. It only took 5 minutes and he was sleeping in the car and we had a quiet drive home.
