Already June?

Where has the time gone?  Zander is 23 months old today.  I will officially have a 2 year old in a month.   Zoe will be 4 months old tomorrow.  Since I have two kids now, I feel as if time goes by even faster.  Before I know it, Zoe will be one.  

Here he is at 4 months....Zoe is no longer looking like him.  Its amazing to see how much they change each month.

Zander has become such a smart little guy who is talking up a storm.  And sweet Zoe is now rolling.  I've been a little nervous if she will be developmentally behind since she spent some time in the NICU, but as of now, she seems to be on track.  She will get fitted for her cranial band sometime this week or next.  I've come to realize that this is something that she needs and I shouldn't worry about adding something else to the mix.  She will not remember this, nor will this bother her.  It'll just become routine for a few weeks.  We have learned to juggle daily medications, PT every Wednesday, hospitals, doctors, therapists, living in a bubble for some time, now weekly cranial appointments, its just ALOT!

Last week I re-read all my posts on my blog.  Every tear jerker, every happy one, and truly made me realize how far we have come in such a short amount of time.  October 5, 2011 will be a day I will never forget.  That day was the scariest and saddest day for me thus far.  Hearing that your baby has heart problems makes you shake to the core.   And Zoe today is surpassing everyone's expectations, especially mine.  Every time I look at her big blue eyes I just melt.  Z & Zo are my life and my everything....and it means the world that Zander loves his baby sister so much.  He doesn't even realize he is her protector.  Everywhere we go, "where's baby" or he'll point to tell us where he wants us to put Zoe. He's been trying to give her his cars to hold onto and play and gets upset that she won't play with him.  He even asked if she could go in the bath tub with him.   I keep telling him in a few more months, baby will be able to do alot of things!  We call him the "paci thief" because he likes to hold onto them and then bring them to Zoe. 

We'll be moving Zoe in his room sometime this week.  I wonder how that will go?  :)
