Ever since the day
We got to bring her home
She's been out to prove the doctors wrong
Hope Faith Graham spent a week in the hospital before she was allowed to go home. Julia and Joel were happy that she was able to go home. Sydney loved her little sister and was so happy. Hope is so loved and is a happy little baby.
Hope is two months old, she is a happy and healthy baby. Julia and Joel aren't really worried about their youngest daughter not living to be a year. Months later, Hope is seven months old and she has started crawling. She can also say mama, dada and baba(bottle). Julia is worried about Hope since she is almost a year and the doctors said she may not live to be a year. From watching their daughter, Joel knows that Hope is a determined baby and that she is trying to prove the doctors wrong.
One week before Hope's first birthday, Hope took her first steps. Julia recorded it because she didn't know if that was the last milestone that she would see her daughter make. Joel and Sydney cheered Hope on as she walked towards them. Every time Hope reached a milestone Julia and Joel would feel happiness inside, but as Hope grew older and closer to being a year they worried more and more about their baby girl.
It is now Hope's first birthday. Julia and Joel have a big party for their daughter because it might be Hope's only birthday and that want to make it extra special. They invite the whole family and everyone is so excited, even Hope is picking up on everyone's excitement. At the party, Hope gets lots of toys and clothes. After Julia helps Hope open the present from Sydney, Sydney smiles at Hope and says, "I love you, Hope."
Hope smiles and giggles, "Wuv Syd." Sydney smiles and then hugs her little sister. Julia and Joel smile because they are proud of their youngest daughter.
