Happy 2nd unbirthday

Last weekend marked the second anniversary of Talia’s due date - June 20.  (She arrived March 20.)

It says a lot about how far she has come that I didn’t even think about it much in advance. Last year I felt quite emotional and made a cake.  This year things were pretty busy and then I looked at the calendar and it just dawned on me that this was the date.

So here she is 2 years ago - at “term” despite being 3 months old.  She gained loads of weight in hospital and was 3kg when this photo was taken.

And last year - 15 months old, 12 months corrected.  She struggled to gain weight after leaving hospital, and at her 1 year review was assessed as being delayed in all areas of her development.  (Still very cute though!)

And this year, 27 months old, 2 years corrected.  Her weight gain has improved, her development has caught up, and she is a delight.  We are very blessed.
