crazy for cousins!

Max and his cousins, Thomas and Jackson, have been having SO much fun together lately. Basically as soon as they walk in our house, Max quickly "herds" them into his room...seriously, it is hysterical. And then he basically pushes or pulls them down to the floor to wrestle!

Jackson, in particular, seems particularly happy with all of Max's interactions. Last night, Max pulled and pushed Jackson around for a good hour. They both had great fun!

(Then today Max tried that same "approach" with a kiddo at the playground...didn't go over quite as well! I need to work on teaching him how to interact with different kiddos...this should be interesting!)

Love, love, love these fun moments...enjoy!

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.
