Happy Birthday to Me & my sisters

Happy Birthday to me & my sisters today, we are 2 years old. My mom says its hard to believe that 2 years ago today the dr's told her as she was in labor that she should just deliver us and do comfort care * aka * making us comfortable and letting us die. But here we are making new strides everyday. Im so glad my mommy and daddy made the right decision.

So mommy and I went to check out new glasses the other day - here is a preview of what is to come - we picked out purple but the preview is of blue - they didnt have any of that color in the store.

Almost 2 Years old

So yesterday my sister and I went for our 2 year check up. I now weigh 22 lbs and my sister is ahead of me by 2 lbs. We each got 4 shots and it wasnt very nice, i cried and cried and mommy hates to see us cry.

Today my sister took my bottle from me because she didnt feel like drinking out of her sippy cup, and I couldnt find it. So my mommy gave me sissy's sippy cup and drank out of it for the first time, my mommy was so happy. So no more bottles for me, moving on to bigger and better things.

Next Monday Im going to see an eye doctor to pick out my new glasses I cant wait. My doctor at Johns Hopkins isnt very hopeful that this will help me , but says he did get a refraction and says I do have light perception so I have a chance and thats all my mommy wants to hear, I know she will do whatever it takes to give me the opportunity to see ANYTHING!!!!!

On a sad note - my great grandma died 3-26-10 she came to see us in the NICU atleast twice a week while we were there even though she wasnt well, we love her so much and we will miss her dearly, she is holding our sister now Evey ( triplet sister ) RIP Marilyn Saunders

My new sister

Its been a while since ive posted. We have a new addition to the family Giuliana Grace, thats Noel's new little sister. Noel doesn't seem to care one way or another for her yet.

My maternity leave was great, I got to stay home with my girls and really got to see Noel blossom. Noel is sitting up all by herself and is getting up on her hands and knee's now. She is babbling so much more and the other day she was saying " No, No, No " Im tryin to teach her " Ma, Ma, Ma " but no such luck yet, what a day that will be when she says mama. Her vision teacher says she is also coming along well she is very curious about grabbing things out of a container, we are working with her on putting things back in the container and reaching for noisy objects. It will all take time but things are coming along.
