Happy 1st Birthday Hunter, Matthew, and Dylan
posted on 03/06/2009
March 6th 2009 ... It's amazing to believe the boys were born a year ago today. They were actually born at about 2am. What a journey it has been this year. It was not easy watching each of the boys have a life threatening situation... Dylan the first week he was born with his lungs, Hunter when he was a month old and his lungs collapsed after PDA Heart surgery, and then Matthew having open heart surgery at 7 months old. BUT... what a Celebration we can have now!
The boys are growing and developing well:
Dylan
- 17 lb 1oz
- Height: 28.5 inches
Hunter
Matthew
- 15 lb 1oz
- Height: 26.5 inches
Hunter and Dylan are crawling and pulling to standup. Matthew is sitting up now and on the verge of crawling. He can stand if you help him up and he loves it. He only wants to stand. They are saying mamamamama and dadadadad... as well as many other sounds. They are wonderful happy babies.... and I think the best sound of all is their laughter.
Thanks everyone for caring about these boys! I can't wait for you to meet them in person! We still have to be careful with them. After flu season we'll have more outings and visitors but we still can't have anyone sick around them. Their lungs won't be full strength until age 2. Think of their lungs as trees that have not grown all the leaves on them yet. So, they will get there!
Love,
Kim & Guy
