With the earthquake in Haiti, my illness, and two birthdays in one week, I feel like I didn't spend enough time really reflecting on my birthday kids and their journeys. So, if you don't like to read about how great my kids are, look away now! This, by the way, will take two posts... One for each child born on January 13.
Here is the first picture I saw of William. He came way too early at week 29 weighing 2 lbs 8 oz. He was transferred to a different hospital, so for the first five days I waited to see pictures of how he was doing.
Here he is the first day I held him:
Here he is at one month!
What do I love about William? His playful attitude. He can make me laugh all of the time!
His tough spirit... I think that kids is a deep soul who withstands a lot. (Pic: post eye-surgery)
His ability to look at things in a different light. This, to me, looks like a mess! To him, it is a challenge!
His sense of adventure... Boy, does he keep me on my toes!
He makes me a better parent, because he has introduced to a world of challenge, difficulties, and deep sensitivity (that he hides very well).
I love this kid!
