Gabby is definately no longer a baby--or even a toddler--anymore. She is now nearly 3 1/2 years old and is turning into quite the little lady. She is so eager to help around the house and with her little brother. She loves to play in the sandbox, fingerpaint, and recently enjoyed her first horseback ride. She has learned her ABC's and 123's (up to 20 anyway) and is beginning to learn to write them and to learn the sounds they make.
Patrick is quickly becoming a toddler. He is growing and developing so fast. He has mastered rolling over, crawling, and pulling to a standing position and getting back down again. He is beginning to cruise around the furnature. He adores his big sister and laughs at all her antics. Mom is so glad that they are beginning to play together!
I have added a new page to our website. As many of you know, Patrick was born with a condition called Congenital Muscular Torticollis and has been in physical therapy since he was 2 months old. In a nutshell, one of his neck muscles developed shorter than the other in utero and he tilts his head to one side and initially had problems moving his head around. He has made wonderful progress and I have been documenting that progress through pictures. I have met so many wonderful people on the internet and have found wonderful support from other parents who have kids with this condition. This page is for their encouragement as well as ours.
Have fun browsing Gabby's Page and Patrick's Page and the new torticollis page and don't forget to sign the guestbook!
Our love to all our friends and family,
Lisa, James, Gabby, and Patrick
