Sebastian and Rachel Turn 1
Yes it seems hard to believe but Rachel and Sebastian turn 1 today. It has been one wonderful and scary year for all of us. It's seems like just yesterday I was telling Weldon that we are a family of 5 and NOT a family of 4 and I didn't care what the doctors were saying or not saying. I would not accept anything short of a full recovery and all 3 of my kids happy and at home.
What a difference a couple of months makes.
We are extremely grateful to everyone.
In lieu of all the past few month's craziness, we opted for a small party with just family. We funded a small country with the kid's birthday cakes. But like I rationalized the expense to Weldon, it's just once and next year they get a homemade cake. It's their first birthday and we all deserved to have some sinfully delicious cake from Lucy's Cakes here in Austin. If you've never had one of their cakes...You should. They are the best cakes. OMG@! good.
Lots of good BBQ and funny, silly twins and it's officially a party.
Rachel tried to grab the flame on her birthday candle. She then proceeded to eat her cake in very ladylike fashion. Small bites with hardly any frosting on her.
Sebastian dug in with gusto. He grabbed chunks of cake and then decided to take out the middle man and dove face first to eat his cake. Just like the silly boy he is turning into.
On Monday, Sept. 4th at about 9pm Rachel took her first steps. She turned from standing in front of the TV and walked 5 steps towards me when I called her.
Sebastian continues to shun the thought of walking now. I think he knows that the Physical Therapist is wanting him to walk and he's just not interested. Otherwise he's doing great and continues to recover and improve.
So we now have some of the silliest kids on the face of the earth. They love each other and are even trying to start their own wrestling federation. Life was good for a little while even if we still can't take them out for a walk or to the park by ourselves. Baby steps. We will get through this and soon it'll be a horrible nightmare that we mock and turn into theater.
Happy Birthday Sebastian!!!!
Happy Birthday Rachel!!!!!
You have no idea how much we love you and how much the world out there loves you.
