Yay for the sunshine….what a beautiful day! We definitely took advantage of the sunshine and warm weather and spent all afternoon outside. You could tell we weren’t the only ones on the street having spring fever–everyone was outside doing whatever they could think of to just be outdoors! We spent a lot of time at the swing set and watching Anya ride her new “big girl” bike. I will say that she did pretty good riding it–she only tipped it once, and it was pretty minor. She has a little to learn yet in regards to steering, but for the most part, she did really well.

This morning Anya had an eye doctor appointment to evaluate her progress on patching. I am happy to report that her weak eye has improved to 20/30 (20/20 is perfect vision)! That is 2 whole lines of improvement! I was beyond thrilled to hear this!! When we started this process, her right eye (her weak eye) was 20/70 and was at 20/50 at our last appointment in January, so she has really come along way. So, the plan is to continue doing what we are doing (which is basically patch whenever she is awake for the most part) and see if she has any additional improvement in 2 months. Anya’s doctor said that even if her eye didn’t improvement beyond where it is right now, they would still be very happy with her overall improvement. So, I am excited to see what happens in the next 2 months and Jason & I are both very proud of Anya for being so cooperative with wearing her patch.

Josiah is now 11 months and is having another battle with teething. He still only has 1 tooth officially, but the second one is just barely under the surface. Every morning for the last 7-10 days I have been just sure that today will be the day the tooth comes through, but here I am still waiting The good news is that he doesn’t let having only 1 tooth stop him from eating table food–he can eat just about anything–and he does! We have been blessed with another good eating, non-picky child, and boy does that make me happy. Right now his favorites include cheese sticks (yes, he can eat a whole cheese stick), yogurt puffs and goldfish crackers, but basically he will eat anything you put in front of him!

Here are some of the latest pictures of the kids.
