The First 2 Years

I wanted to do a post with pictures of Joe from the day of his birth to today because well...........it is just so amazing to me!

Joe Michael Brunson entered the world on 10/17/09 at 11:32am at 1lb 15oz and 14 inches long.  He came to us at 26 weeks and 1 day gestation.

    Joe about 3 weeks old - extabated and on high flow oxygen.  A huge accomplishment!
