Lance 2 months/ Emily 1 year

Here's Emily at almost 1. This was June 2005 right after we moved to Texas. She turned one is July. I don't have a picture of her on her birthday on my computer. When she turned one she was between 23-24 inches long and around 12-13 lbs. Today Lance had his two month check up, and he's 24 1/4 inches (88%) and 12 lbs (50%). Emily came home from the NICU right before her 2 month birthday, at 7 1/2 weeks. She weighed 7 lb 8oz and was 19 inches long. Just kind of crazy. It's so different going to a well baby check up with Lance or Lily then Emily. I DREADED going with Em, because they always seemed to find something new that I needed to do, a new doctor she needed to see, a new test she needed to have, etc. Poor little girl. I try not to think about it too much. I'm amazed that I can go to the doctor and they can say-looks great! And that's it!
On a side note, can I tell you how proud I was of Em's rolls in this picture? It's the only time in her life she ever had any meat on her legs! She had just came off of being on steriods, which is probably why, but still. She had cute rolls!

Love the rolls!!! Deak had them his first year too...due to three or four rounds of prednisone as well. Although...I doubt he's ever had them in his thighs! I can't imagine going to the doctor with a new baby. I'm constantly amazed that people have babies who can breathe without oxygen. It's nice to be able to come from our perspective and appreciate every single "they're doing great!"
thinking of you lots! Hope Lance is letting you sleep a little more!

Hi!

I am sorry that it took a little while to see that you had left a comment on the Registry blog! I just saw that you provided a link to your own wonderful blog. It has such beautiful pictures, and I have really enjoyed getting to know Emily through your writing!

Thank you so much for your comment. I will include your blog in our blog roll. I love that we are getting a list of Chromosome 18 blogs going.

I love both of those pictures!! And that swimsuit of Emily's is to die for!! I, like Jenny can't imagine what it would be like to have all those "typical" well visits! Hope you are enjoying it though!
