and here are a few more...

More fun photos from our shoot with Barefeet Photography!

Max always loves practicing the alphabet. (And I just love his sweet hand holding mine.)

Love this photo...guess Max surprised me with his big ol' smooch!

Max and I were discussing the water...and yep, that's him signing "water."

How cool that Max can hold my hand and walk...a dream come true. (He was very insistent about walking out on the pier...despite it being quite shaky. Eeks!)

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.
