Melani was born 4 months premature in November of 2008. She weighed 1 pound-1 ounce and measured 11 1/2 inches in length. She has been through it all and still has more to come. She is my tiny miracle and I can't wait until she is at home with us for good.

Its been too long!!!
Wow....I know it has been a long time since I've updated but there has been so much craziness going on in our lives that it just was impossible to sit down and blog. But i do plan on getting back in the mix and updating often...Well Melani is officially a walker. She worked up enough confidence to let go and take off! This is huge for her considering her vision impairment but she is definitely going to have it down soon. She weighs about 21 lbs now and her doctor switched her formula due to her lack of growth in the past year. She is doing so amazing! Things are changing around here. My husband joined the army and is in South Carolina right now. By the time he comes home, I hope Melani is a little butterball. We are hoping to put a little bit of fat on her tiny frame. =) She also tries to repeat words and she loves to play with her brother and sister. Cant believe that in 7 months I will have a 3 year old! It seems like just yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital! Man how time flies! I'm gonna post a few pictures of my kiddos at the park a few days ago!
