I am having the typical response today to the realization that my miracle baby is already 2 - where has the time gone? What have we spent the last 2 years doing?? The first 4 and a half months of his life seem like a dream to me. I know God carried us thru that time in his life because most of it seems like a blur while other times are extremely vivid to me. After coming home, I know we spent the next year going to Dr. visits in the metroplex. We are so blessed that Kadin was released from regular check ups with his Dr., but we really miss taking those trips to see the people that had such a miraculous hand in allowing us to keep him! He keeps me so very busy. It is so amazing where he has come from in his short little life. This birthday snuck up on us. We didn't have a big party for him when he turned one because we had sooooo much going on in our lives. I think at that time we were still going to the Dr.'s in FW about twice a month. We will be having some kind of party for him in about a week and a half, because again, we have soooo much going on. I wanted to do it this Saturday, but we have Harvest Ball that day and no free time that day when the whole family can get together.
For being 2 already, my little man is still tiny. He might weigh about 19 pounds and is wearing 12 month clothes (some 2T and under fit him, just depends on what they are!) He talks non-stop but it's pretty much Kadin-Language. He can definitely say "Hook Em" and "Wreck Em" and many many other words that you would recognize, but as far as putting sentences together, we aren't there just yet. I am not able to work with him as much as I desire and as he needs because I am still working from home, but that is hopefully going to change very soon. He isn't in therapy anymore as I wrote about a few months back, but we may have him evaluated this month just "to see" how things are going. He seems so very normal to me. He is quite stubborn and likes to wear his sissy's fake pearls. He likes to sing in my microphone and sit in my lap while I work. He can't wait til Daddy gets home so they can "fick it" and take out the trash! Even though he doesn't see his big brother JT often, he hasn't forgotten him and runs to him every time we see him. The other kids are like air to him. It's so awesome to witness...
I realize I will be 56 when Kadin graduates high school, but living for God and my children is all that I desire, so bring it on.... lol :)
Happy Birthday, Kadin-Poo!! We love you soooo much baby boy!!!
