Happy 2nd Birthday Amanda

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday dear Amanda! Happy birthday to me! As you can see, I really enjoyed the cake on my second birthday! Can I have some more???

I had a great time with my family, Grandpa Jack, and Nana & Papa on my birthday. Thanks also to everyone else for all the great presents. I will send my thank you notes out by this weekend.

I am still doing very well. I learned to wave this week. My favorite activity in the whole world is walking holding Mom's or Dad's hands for support. I get excited when I get my braces on because I know I will get to walk. I also like water. Next week I will get to start hippo (horseback) therapy, where I will sit on a very quiet horse at the walk and work to strengthen my trunk muscles. I started vision therapy this week and I liked it.

I also wanted you to see my wonderful sister, Katie, so I posted a picture of her birthday party too. She is the best big sister ever. She loves me and plays with me all the time. She loves to feed me and to read to me.

Have a great day!!! I have two appointments at Duke this week (infectious disease and vision) so I will keep you posted. On my last trip up there, I had an MRI and it showed that things are developing well in my brain.

God Bless & thanks for all the prayers!!!

Amanda
