Knocked Knees

When Leah was born she had what looked like a gimp foot.  It was twisted completely backwards and flipped up but over her first couple days it straightened out.  
Over the first year it was always sensitive and she hated people touching it. When she started cruising we noticed she would favor that leg and walk "peg" legged as I called it or drug it behind her. When she finally started walking at 14 1/2 months you could tell she didn't like to put any pressure on it. Well we finally got in to see a Orthopedic specialist today. He did a couple test on her and came to the conclusion that her left hip has more of a turn radius and is turned in more than her other and because she is knocked knee you can just notice it more.

 He said she will eventually grow out of it. I was glad to hear that it is just something that she can overcome on her own.
