Dear Abby,

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I wrote to you on here. Our internet was off for the longest time, and then the computer fried (you thought it would be hilarious to dump your milk all over the laptop). Anyway, the computer is fixed and we have internet again so I have no more excuses. You are a crawling champ right now, and can get anywhere you want using the sounds around the room and your "four feet" :)

Recently you started a program called Infant/Toddler. It's a government funded program that forms teams of specialist specific to your needs.  You have a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a speech therapist, a mobility specialist and so on.  They have all been amazed at what have already taught yourself, but the comment we've been getting the most is about how happy and pleasant you are!

And you are (unless you aren't getting your sleep, but you get that from Daddy). You're 2.5 years old now, your brother Bronco is 17 months, and you have a little sister coming in June.  Bronco has been learning to talk like a champ, and he tries to teach you too.  He watches out for you and gives me the worst looks when you're upset. Most days you let him try to play with you, others you cry at the slightest noise he makes.

The doctors put you on a sleep medication to help you sleep at night, it worked for about two weeks and then wore off. It was a very nice two weeks for all of us, but it only made things worse now that you're not sleeping again.  I know that Heavenly Father is mindful of you and your health and will bless you when the time is right (hopefully before your sister is born).

Aside from your sleeping issues, everything else is going great for you. You're eating healthier, playing more Independently, being more social and just the other day you stood on your own and took 5 steps :)

There are many more things I need to catch you up on, and I've been writing in a journal to you while the computers have been down. So I will make a point to put those letters up here too.

I love you sweetheart <3
