Tears of Joy

Alex just did a 180 degree turn - three times. I had him standing up facing me and he turned around to grab onto furniture for support. He's so hesitant to stand and walk on his own, but he just did three 180 degree turns! He also said "I love you" to me twice today. I've heard it before and thought I was imagining it, but I was wrong. He says it when he's hugging me. It sounds like "Ah yah you." He's going to put his speech and physical therapists out of their jobs.

I started crying. I'm a little overwhelmed with emotion, tomorrow being their second birthday. Alex heard me and started chiming in. I said "Alex, it's okay, Mommy's happy. It's a happy cry." My little sensitive guy. Spencer just laughs when I cry. God, I love them!

Birthday Wish List

I've started a birthday wish list for Alex and Spencer on Amazon.com. This is just meant to be an idea list. The products certainly don't have to be purchased through Amazon! I just thought people might want ideas about what to get. I'm sure I'll be adding to it as I think of things. Their birthday is four weeks from tomorrow. I can't believe it! Invitations will be in the mail shortly. Click the button below to link to the list.
