This Wonderful Thing Called Life: 17 Months Old

17 Months Old

We are 17 months old now and such a big little girl! Our at home scale says we still weigh 23 pounds! Most of our clothes are in the 18 month range with a few 24 month shirts and 12 month pants. We like to do everything by our self and occasionally want to sit and cuddle. Mommy loves our bedtime routine: climb the stairs, get in PJ's, brush our teeth, read a book, say our prayers, and night night we go! I'm really starting to communicate what I want by pointing/showing/or grunting but still not saying too much. A couple of new words are Bible and thank you but mostly I just point and grunt. We are working on getting rid of the lovey paci during the day :(

This picture is me and my daddy at the church building. I was waiting on daddy to start Pew Packers.

Beth, our physical therapist, sent us to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon to have xrays taken because when I walk I am still turning my left leg out to the side. But everything with the bones is just fine and I should grow out of it by the time I am three :) So, great news there and I have been kicked back to PT just once a month instead of twice a month! YAY!!

Louie, the Boxer

Buster is 4

Our 2nd little blessing, Hilton Isaiah, was born 3 weeks early via an emergency c-section also because of preeclampsia. He was already 8lbs8oz and spent 9 days in the NICU because of a spontaneous pneumothorax (popped right lung); he also had a heart murmur and had to have a blood transfusion his very 1st night. Poor guy suffers from febrile seizures, and also took physical therapy for about a year b/c of delayed gross motor skills. We are so thankful to have this little man blessing our lives.

Puppy is 2

Our 3rd blessing, Weston Julian, was born 5 weeks early via another C-section because of preeclampsia. This pregnancy was a rough one: at 24 weeks I started having severe stomach pains and at 28 weeks had an emergency umbilical hernia surgery, and have been on bed rest ever since because of preeclampsia. At 32 weeks I started having daily headaches and frequent migraines (at least 2 a week). At 33 weeks our ultrasound technician discovered my amniotic fluid was decreasing and he was not showing much growth, so now we started twice a week visits and at least 1 ultrasound each week to keep a closer eye on him. We are incredibly thankful that our last little blessing arrived safely and weighed 5lbs 13oz and did not have to go to the NICU.
