Alina is 2 years and 2 months old and doing brilliantly. She celebrated her 2nd birthday in December. It was a great party, Alina had loads of fun on the Thomas the Tank bouncy castle and playing with her little friends. She ran around and screamed and laughed and looking at her you would've never thought she was that poorly little girl I gave birth to 2 years ago. A lot of our friends asked us if there is anything else Alina needs and they are amazed when we tell them that she's just another normal child. And it's true. She gets colds like anyone else and gets over them by herself. There are no more trips to the hospital and no more antibiotics. We still give her vitamins every day but apart from that, she doesn't need anything else.
Her speech is still amazing. She speaks in proper sentences now, some of which are quite complicated. She also loves to run around and has loads of energy- more than Alex and I put together. She loves to kick a ball and loves being chased, which is always accompanied by lots and lots of screaming. When people turn around to see who is making the noise I tell them : " this is my child with one lung", which is the truth. We saw her latest xray and her left lung was minuscule. But this doesn't seem to stop our daughter from being a very active and happy toddler.
We went skiing last week and of course Alina had a go. We always try to encourage her to explore the world and experience different things. Alina loved skiing, she has a natural talent and really enjoyed going very fast down the slopes and over little mogules. A few months ago she wasn't very keen on the snow but this time around it was very different. She had a great time and so did we.
There are so many things I could write about our little girl but I will leave the pictures to speak for themselves.
Lots of hugs from the Houchins.
