Thanks so much to everyone who has read this page, either faithfully, occasionally, or if this is your first visit. I have been reviewing my first blog-type entries, on David's CaringBridge page. The first few entries were written in May of 2010, when David had been really critically ill with back-to-back infections in the NICU. There was one night in particular that we were convinced he was not going to live. Then came the open-heart surgery and the really difficult few months that followed. And holy smokes, here he is now: he will turn 3 in one week, he's 32" tall and weighs about 25 lbs. He knows some signs and a few words, all his medical conditions are stable/managed, and he's doing beautifully in full-day daycare.
He can undress himself, and can get dressed with fairly minimal assistance; he can also put on his little Velcro shoes by himself but has a long way to go on the "correct feet" front. He loves helping to unload the dishwasher, most often of the dirty dishes we've just put in. David's favorite chore is helping with laundry, and watching him imitate how Matt folds everything is hilarious. He's always had a great smile, but more and more frequently lately, we've been catching lots of gorgeous, absolutely beatific smiles.
