Josh is 2!

Josh is 2 today. Can you believe it? 2 years ago he was this tiny baby struggling to survive. Today he is 2.

In the past year we have met so many milestones. He learned to crawl, and then walk and he is saying many words. We are so proud and amazed every day of just how far he has come. I know all my preemie mom friends totally understand!

We had a family birthday party yesterday and today some friends. We wanted to split the germs and not have that many people all at once. He is still getting Synagis (our last year) and is just getting over a bout of something.. (could have been RSV or a touch of pneumonia) but he was pretty sick. Luckily not sick enough for a hospital visit but we were on steroids, antibiotics and breathing treatments. We count our blessings that he has not had to be re-hospitalized. YAY!

We had cupcakes and cupcakes and cupcakes! (regular, mini and cupcakes baked inside of an ice cream cone). The opposite of last year, all Josh wanted to do was to lick the frosting off of them.

A friend at work made us this amazing sweater. We wear it every day. It is so warm that we use it as a winter coat (on the days that it is not below zero!). We have had a very cold winter this year!

So without further adieu!
