Victoria's Birthday

Tori turned 2 this year. It went by so fast and yet so slow at the same time. Tory is a beautiful little girl and has us all under her spell, well maybe not Gabe. She pretty much controls the house, but we are slowly gaining some of it back. She has been a difficult child and has given me and Jeff more nightmares then we care to go into. The doctors have never been able to give me an answer regarding her breatholding. But as promised and as we always believed she is gradually growing out of them. She rarely has seizures after the breatholding now, but she still will hold her breath and pass out around 4 times a month. We took her to The Children's Center for group therapy to mostly help me figure her out and how I can intervene with her and help her handle the situations. I dont think it helped Tory out much but the information from all those sessions was great to learn and beneficial for all my children.

Tori is a beautiful girl, she is almost extremly bright, she has things figured out years before the other two. She knows her mind and what she wants and is determined to get it. As long as we get that pointed in the right direction we are good. She loves to be outside and especially on the trampoline. She jumps on that for hours on end. She loves playing with Kelsi and Gabe when he will ( those two have a love - hate relationship, but they are gradually learning to love being with each other more and more ) However when Kelsi and Gabe got to go to Grandma Luthy's for a week Tory asked where they were and we told and she yelled out YES! I guess she was excited to have us all to herself! Tory wants to be big so fast, she wants to ride bikes with the kids, run as fast as them, go anywhere and everywhere they go. She looks up to Kelsi and Gabe with pure admiration. She gets very frustrated with everything if she cant keep up with them or if they dont want her to play with them.

We love Tori so much and are so glad that everything is working out with her. Here are some pictures of her 2 year old pictures and a video of her singing Popcorn Poping with Jeff
