I've been super nostalgic lately. Of course, the kids starting Kindergarten has really made me think about how far we have come in the past few year. But also, a friend of mine had a little girl at 26 weeks and I have been reliving our NICU days with every one of her CaringBridge posts. And, one of our favorite NICU doctors is retiring and I was looking through itty bitty baby pictures trying to find a photo of Dr. Rojas.
So, take a step down memory lane with me...
Griff at just a few days old. 1 lb, 14 oz, 16 inches long.
Gabby, 1 lb, 6 oz, 12 inches long.
Gracie, 1 lb, 8 oz, 12 inches long.
We've shown this one a lot, but it was our 1st family picture, March 27, 2007. The kids were just 2 1/2 months old. Seems like forever ago, but I remember this moment so vividly!
January 6, 2008. Griff, Gabby and Gracie celebrate their 1st birthday! It is Gabby, Griff and Gracie from left to right.
2nd Birthday, 2009.
Gabby on her 3rd birthday. Love that face and smile!
Griff, some things never change :)
Sweet Gracie.
Their 4th birthday is Ms. Leah and Ms. Lindsey's class.
And finally...
Gracie strikes a post on the 1st day of school!
Gabby loves colorful clothes!
Perhaps his last 1st of school picture with his walker...!
I'll update soon with how well they are doing at school, Griff's walking stick progress, our new intensive therapy and the girl's dance class. When we took the photos at the top of the page just after the kids were born, the start of kindergarten was the furthest thing from our minds. I remember looking at the 3 pound baby in the incubator next to us and just dreaming of the day when our babies would be 3 pounds. Now, Griff is pushing 50 pounds and is getting so tall! Gabby is about the same height and Gracie, well, she can fit into the tiniest spot and just cuddle.
Have a great one!
Martha
