I am 2 years old !!!
Andrei celebrated today 2 years of life and chubby cheeks!
It was a very nice day, we celebrated in the family. Andrei received a lot of presents and got to blow the birthday cake candle 
.
With this occasion, of course, I think of everyhting that happened in the past year and my conclusion is that it was a good year for him. He was at home almost THE WHOLE TIME, except for one week when he had a pretty bad cold, he had fun, he grew, he developed…
I guess it’s a good moment to make a summary of the past year, right?
- Andrei went for a lot of long, nice walks that he enjoyed very much
- When he was released from the hospital, last year, February 2007, he was diagnosed, among other things, with anemia. Now they say he is too fat
- When he was released from the hospital, Andrei was diagnosed with muscular hypotonie; he could not turn, get into sitting position, he was playing very little, as a small baby. Now, Andrei cannot be stopped from turning and moving, he gets into sitting position by himself, he crawls, he plays nicely. Sometimes it is amazing how fast he understands some things
- When he was released from the hospital, he was only talking like a small baby. Now, he started saying mommy, daddy and to imitate us
- When he was released from the hospital, he did not accept anything in the mouth. Now he started licking with interest whatever we eat, he sometimes bites, chews, he has learnt to coordinate the movements of his tongue
- If you give him 2 fingers to lean to, Andrei manages to raise himself up
- He just learnt to make a few steps forward in the baby walker
- HE LEARNT TO KISS US !
- He laughs and anticipates when you show him you intend to tickle him
- He is starting to respond to simple commands
And for sure there are also other achievements… For now, these were the ones that quickly came to my mind.
May God help us that the future will be at least as good as this past year !
We thank again all of our friends for being close to us and for thinking of us fondly !
