the mighty max update: my baking assistant

One of Max's favorite (and easiest) things to eat are breakfast cookies / protein bars...anything really that resembles a "cookie."

So we decided to start making our own super nutritious and yummy "cookies"...including everything from ground flax and hemp seed to whole wheat, oats and lots of dried fruit. Max really gets into helping me pour and mix the ingredients.

AND he really likes when I use the shiny bowl so he can check out his reflection! :)

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.
