me and my fun cousins!

These days I am soooo enjoying my cousins! They are wild and crazy and I love to chase them around! Tonight we had a little picnic at the Haggen gazebo (we love that place!) and the three of us played follow the leader around the waterfall. So stinkin' cute!

And guess what? I walked (holding Mommy's steady hand) ALL the way from my house down the trail to Haggen's! It was quite funny that me...the kiddo not able to walk independently yet...walked more than either of my two big strong cousins! Aunt Eliz and Mommy were very proud of me!

Check us out at the fountain! :) How cute are we!?!

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.
