growing and growing!

Our boys are like weeds! I can't believe how they have grown! Ethan just turned 3 yesterday and the amount of joy he brings into our family is amazing. He is so bright and well spoken. He loves to run and his imagination gets me all the time. He is potty trained and anxious to begin school. "mommy, now I am three I can go to school." He is an incredible big brother to JT . He shares and gives him his binki. He helps feed JT and will even snuggle with him sometimes.
He is in no way our dare devil. He likes to have two feet planted on the ground. We had his birthday party at Cabin John park. A park in MD - a great park in MD that has a train ride and all. Which is perfect for our little Thomas man!
Ethan just makes me smile! (most of the time, he is a 3 yr old after all. lol)

JT is so tall he has made it onto his actual growth chart! weight and head are growing too but not at the rate of his height. He is so scrunched in his carseat and has to wait another 6 mos to turn around. CRAZY! His PT and speech are going really well and we are thankful for the services he receives. He still isn't sitting up or crawling but he LOVES to stand and walk around (with assistance). JT's smile can light up a room and his giggles are totally addictive!
Sitting here writing this I am just smiling at the gifts God has given us in our two amazing boys.

We have a very busy couple of months coming up and are praying for God's sustaining grace and mercy. This coming month JT will visit the neurologist, the urologist and the ophthalmologist. two of these appointments will determine if/when surgery will be done. We thankfully saw a new ophthalmologist at Children's. One who spoke to us and gave us answers. One who listened and took time to care for us... we are switching Dr.'s God is with us in all things. He has such amazing plans for JT and I am so privileged to be his mommy!!
