On May 25th our baby turned a year old!
We celebrated early at “grandpa” Fredy’s
house with a Winnie the Pooh cake made by her Grandma Reeder.
Stacey’s mom was able to visit us for 9 days in May. We are very grateful for her visit, she was a BIG help!
On Alida’s actual birthday we were in Florida for an HTH
regional gathering so we celebrated just the three of us with a poolside
cupcake.
She is walking very well, even “running” now, extremely
curious and loves to interact with people.
She says a million sounds but her “real” words so far are “Mama”,
“Dada”, and “Hola.” We are thankful she has been very healthy so far.
We thank God for giving Alida
the gift of life a year ago for HIS purposes and HIS glory. She has come a long way since those 10 days
in the Miami Valley NICU a year ago.
Every day we are
each given this very same gift.
Sometimes we want to make NICU turnarounds the only miracles people hear
about. Each day and every breath is JUST
as much of a miracle. It’s unfortunate
we take those miracles for granted. God
could chose to take any of us at any moment.
Let’s make the most of today and give Him thanks for the daily life HE
graciously gives to each of us.
