Walt is really becoming more of my little man every day! He says thank you, all done, ball, hat, sock, shoe, nose, eye, and much more. He is walking like crazy and loves every minute of it. He enjoys it so much that he just walks in circles around the house! Below are pictures of him using his fork. He was too cute! He would dip his meet in catchup and say "dip dip", and then, he would eat it using his fork.
I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
He makes me smile.
