Joey is 1!
Let me just get straight to the point-Joey is 1 today! Looking back a whole year at where we were, who knew this day would arrive. My heart is filled with gratitude with where God has brought us and how He has carried us through the roller coaster. Joey's journey has taught me so much about strength and resilience and to appreciate each and every day as a blessing. Yes, I know there will be more hard days ahead as with anything and anybody, but today we celebrate and we rely on God for each and every moment, not with what we think we can control of the future.
Joey is enjoying his life at home. He is filled with smiles and laughter, and all the attention that he receives from us minute by minute, hour by hour. He has several appointments with OT, PT, and speech. He still can't sit on his own and is working on his head strength still, but his OT was impressed with how well he did with his appointment today. She said he is getting stronger. We do force him to do a lot of things so that he can get stronger. It's the Asian way-we like to push, push, and push until we get better. Ha.
Some observations about his growth, he has grown an old man belly. He used to be so skinny- but he's got the belly and the cheeks these days. He also needs a haircut, and we think he is cutting 3 more teeth. He loves his toys and enjoys looking at himself in the mirror often. That vanity will never go away. :) He has improved so much with grabbing his toys.
Today he is having a 1 year old puppy photo shoot. What this means is we've got some puppies coming over and a photographer friend that is going to photograph Joey with some fun puppies.
I cannot wait.
I will have to post some photos later.
"And the Lord responded: 'Look, I am making a covenant. I will perform wonders in the presence of all your people that have never been done in the whole earth or any nation. All the people you live among will see the Lord's work, for what I am doing with you is awe-inspiring."
Exodus 34:10
