Hello all! I am not sure that anyone ever looks anymore but here goes anyway. The March of Dimes walk went really well. It was not a great weather day (dreary and chilly) but a good day for a walk since we were all sweating at the end! I did my speech and managed not to totally break down. I did choke up during the part about Emilee.. I always do. Hopefully it made an impact on people, but most of them had their own reasons for being there. Our team raised about $5,500. I will be doing it again for many years to come. We only have one picture... my camera battery died after that one shot! Thanks to everyone for your donations.
Can you believe Josh is 15 months already? We went to see the eye surgeon last week and she said the surgical part of his eyes are looking fine. She will see him in a year (most surgeons discharge them at some point!!). We have a GI appointment next week so we will get weighed (yay!) and talk about his diet and if we are going to stop formula at some point. I see her telling us that we should continue with the toddler formula's because there are more vitamins and calories. We still do the extra calories but the more he eats of the real food, the less calories he will be getting....
He is almost sitting up on his own (he does it sometimes), but does belly crawl across the floor and will crawl up and down Dave and I (pulling himself up). He got his first tooth through last week (on the bottom). He says a few words .. mama, dada, nana (not sure what that is!) some is just baby babble but we'll take it. It's so hard not to compare him with other babies his own age and even his adjusted age. He is still a little delayed for his adjusted age, but I know he is getting there. I'm not really worried, but I still get a little jealous when other babies are doing more. That's pretty much it for now. I will update after the GI appointment since we will have a weight. I hate not getting them done every other week!
I'll take some pictures and post them soon.
Love to you all!

Of course we still read your blog. We check it all the time.
Wish we could have been at the walk with you but I had to work and couldn't get the time off. Maybe the kids and I can next year.
{{hugs}} to Josh and the family.
:-)
We still read it. We love to see his progress. Remember, there is nothing to compare Josh to...He is a miracle, and you cant compare a miracle to ANYTHING !!!!!!!!
much love,
Dee & Jeff xx
Thanks for the update! I check your blog all the time. Looking forward to more pics! J, D, and A
Josh just cracks me up. He's the funniest happy-go-lucky little baby I've ever seen. His laugh just makes my day!
I was getting ready to send you a message to see how little Josh was doing. I check back frequently, sometimes daily to see what updates you've posted!! Josh is his own person...he'll do things when he's ready! Take care, looking forward to some new pictures!!
I check this place all the time looking updates on one of my favorite little guys. *love* I don't know where Jay is on the developmental scale just yet but I can only imagine it being frustrating at times. You just keep your head up and look at the beautiful little miracle of yours. He's an amazing little boy.
