feeling better just in time...for grandma mary!

As Mommy has told you, I have had a rough few weeks with a respiratory infection. Fortunately I was feeling a little better in time for a special visitor! Grandma Mary was in Seattle for work and traveled up here to see her special lil' guys! :) YAY!

We took her on an adventure by hiking to a local beach, and it was great fun. Ok, I slept in Mommy's backpack for most of the time and didn't love the sand...but all in all, I handled it all pretty well! (We used the backpack again the very next day and sure enough, I fell asleep again!)

Thanks Grandma Mary for your visit, all the snuggles and hugs...and definitely for the cool new truck! We love you! :)

Off we go on our adventure!

Here are my cousins having a great time exploring. Maybe someday I can join them in the mud! :)

Mom woke me up from my nap and encouraged me to play in the wet sand. Hmm....what do you think I thought about that?

But with a few tickles and funny faces, she got me smiling again! :)

Grandma Mary and I had lots of fun together!

And when I got sad (I've been a bit moody lately), we cuddled and all was well.

You fit so well in Grandma's arms. I am sure you can feel her love for you when she has her arms wrapped around you.

charge syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
