Molly turns 3!

This past Saturday was Molly's third birthday and we celebrated on Sunday with friends and family. Molly was not in the mood to deal with so many people coming to her house. Jay held her just about the entire time until people started to leave. Then she was happy. The best thing that came out of her crying all day was that she slept all night!

Life has been great since we ended Early Intervention. It's been nice not to have to plan our day around someone else. We don't have to rush out of the house or deal with her meltdown because they are coming to our house. We do start outpatient therapy on the 23rd. For now, she will see speech and physical therapy for 45 mins each once a week. After the evaluation they will determine if she needs to be seen more often or if we need to add any other therapies.

Yesterday Molly decided she was going to start standing herself up all by herself. She stands for a pretty good amount of time without holding on to anything and without falling. Of course there has to be a lot of cheering to keep her there! I am so proud of her!!!!! We just have to get her walking by Disney because she is HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!

One month from today we will be participating in the NStar Walk for Children's Hospital! I am so grateful to them for all that they have done and continue to do for Molly. Three years ago I didn't even know who they were and what they were capable of doing and now I know that they perform miracles and give moms and dads the chance to raise a baby that may not have had a chance anywhere else. I know that most people in our life may never benefit from the wonderful care that Children's has to offer and that is a great thing but we do and we are not sad that we do. We are happy to have them so close. They are like family to us. Children's feels like home. We love everyone in the Cardiac ICU and couldn't be happier to have known them. We are not done with Children's and never will be. Molly is a life long patient. So please, if you can spare a few dollars, help us to give back and thank Children's for giving us 3 emotional, challenging, wonderful years with the greatest miracle to go through those doors!

I also created a slideshow of Molly's first 3 years of life. I was going to post it for her birthday but with the passing of our buddy, Ryker it just didn't seem right. So I'm sharing it now. It's a little long but I hope you enjoy!
