Long Awaited Update

It has been a whirlwind for us as we have been working with our doctors to slowly get Joy off her medications (her endoscopy results were negative!  Praise God!).  This is her first week without Prevacid and she's been doing pretty well aside from a cold/low grade fever. She doesn't always eat/drink a lot so we feed her fruits/cereal while she plays and she really likes it. We don't worry as much because we know she won't starve herself.  We're just praying that baby #2 won't have the same feeding problems as Joy. 

Overall, Joy has been a fun girl to be around these days.  She communicates well with us (verbal and pointing) and seems to be having lots of fun rummaging through our cabinets, bins, etc.  Enjoy the pictures and videos below, which gives a glimpse into our lives.

Milestones

1.  Walking finally!  After weeks of walking with our help, our little girl finally decided to walk on her own today.  We are very proud of her!  Good thing we have those gates to keep her confined.  Now let the chasing begin!
 
 
2.  Feeding Baby.  We've also been training Joy to take care of her little brother, who is scheduled to arrive in a month. So far she has learned how to "feed baby" but only as long as she gets some too  =D


3.  Anyone looking to hire a cleaner?  Joy loves to clean/wipe stuff, including her own mess. Perhaps I should teach her how to vacuum?  LOL
