It just seems like yesterday Daddy and I were bringing you home from the hospital and now, here we are 2 years later! Happy birthday Leah, even though you are going through the “terrible two’s” right now with your little temper and attitude, I still love you very much and I’m so happy and proud to be your Mommy!

I know we already celebrated your birthday (last month), due to not knowing when Aiden was going to make his grand enterence, so with that said, Happy Birthday (again) to my beautiful little girl!!!

Leah’s birthday bash

We decided to celebrate Leah’s birthday one month early since we’re in the process of buying a house, moving and having a new baby all in the next month. I didn’t want her birthday to go unnoticed and I wanted her to have her own special day so we invited just our family and a few friends to join us in the celebration!

Here’s some pictures from the party! Enjoy!

I can’t believe it! My baby girl is already one year old! Time sure does fly! One year ago from this minute I was in labor, and at 1:08pm she was born!

One year ago…

And again I’ve been slacking in the updates department…

I took the kids to the pediatrician for their checkups a couple weeks back. Joey’s 2 year check up went very well. He weighed in at 22 1/2 lbs and is 31 inches tall. Nothing else really to note from his appointment. Leah weighed in at 14 lbs 4 oz and is 24 1/4 inches tall. She unfortunatly had to get a couple vaccines so she was cranky for the next 24 hours.

Last week Joey had his annual appointment with his genetist. Dr. Bob was more than happy with Joey’s progress and how well he has been doing. On the Down syndrome growth chart, Joey is right at the 50% percentile, on a typical child’s growth chart, he would be only 5%. What a difference!

He also had an appointment with his ENT and thankfully his ears are looking good and we don’t have to schedule an appointment to have him sedated and his ears cleaned out!

Also, in the slacking department, I missed raisingjoey.com’s one year anniversary which coinsides with my birthday, so happy belated birthday to Raising Joey and to myself!

I’ve been so busy with so many things… taking care of the kiddos, working on things for the CDSC, cleaning the house, laundry, it seems like I don’t have much time at all anymore! Yesterday, I did take the time to go get a birthday pedicure with my friend, Cecily and boy it felt so nice to take the time to relax! I even slipped in a 5 minute trip to the tanning bed!

Speaking of the CDSC, now that I’m on the board of directors, I’ve been keeping myself busy planning new events including on Friday, we had our first playgroup at the local mall which was a HUGE sucess. We had about 6 families that showed up and for a first event, that’s great! Also, this week we have a parents’ night out coming up. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, but it’s all so worth it! I also volunteered myself last week to help plan our members’ trips to the NDSC’s convention in Boston this summer. The things I get myself into, hahaha!

Well, that’s all I can think of for now, I will leave you today with some Leah cuteness. She fell asleep in her bumbo the other day and I couldn’t resist a few pictures!
