Happy First Birthday



Dearest Joshua David and Grace Elizabeth~

Happy Birthday to you ....
Happy Birthday to you ....
Happy Birthday dear sweet Grace ....
Happy Birthday to you!!

Happy first birthday to our sweet little angel Grace!  I sang to you this morning and you smiled!  We are so blessed to have you and Joshua in our lives!  We love you so much!

Also, you have the same birthday Dean Smith .... you're such a Tarheel!  ;-)  You opened a birthday card from Great Grandma and Great Grandpa this morning.  I put it on the mantle so you could enjoy it all day long.  :-)


We all got ready in the morning and then headed to Joshua's appointments.  Joshua, you saw Mary Beth for occupational therapy and Kim for speech therapy.  Everyone said 'happy bithday' to Grace since I dressed her in a pink 'birthday' dress with a cupcake and candle on it.  ;-) 


We're still working on consentents and vowels with Kim.  Mary Beth said that you may graduate from occupational therapy soon!  How exciting!  :-)

You two were impressive at lunch today.  Grace, you ate 3oz of a Gerber pasta primavera and some hotdog pieces.  You also had some gold fish at the therapy office.  Joshua, you ate 3/4 cup (6 oz) applesauce (fed you straight from the measuring cup so I could see how much you ate) and then had 3/4 hotdog!  Whoa!


Grace, we got some more information on your eye procedure.  You are going to have done a 'probe and irrigation of the nasolacrimal duct with balloon dacryoplasty' .... what a long name for a 15 minute procedure.  :-P  Dr. Board's office sent us the information package in the mail today, so we have the date, time, and instructions. 

We got to talk to Great Grandma and Great Grandpa on the phone after lunch.  They sang 'happy birthday' to Grace.  We'll see them in about 2 weeks!

You two were napping by 2pm.  Since you two were napping to nicely, I ended up closing my eyes too!  ;-)


Daddy said we could have a 'fun' dinner to celebrate Grace's birthday.  So, once he got home, I picked up some bojanges for dinner.  Woo hoo!  Then, you both had a birthday cookie.

Everyone called you for your birthday little lady.  You're so popular.  ;-)  Oh, and you like to play with socks now.  It's cute.  You wonder into our closet, take my socks, and then wander around the house with them in your hands.  Too funny.  :-)


You two had nice baths this evening before bedtime.  And, we cut Grace's nails.  Tomorrow is a workday, but I'll rush home as fast as I can!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY to my little, precious, sweet Grace!  I love you so much!

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both!
