another fun milestone!

We were out to lunch this weekend and the waitress brought Max a cup with a straw. Usually he doesn't pay any attention to it, but our friend Jamie encouraged Max to try it...and he did!!! It was sooooooo awesome! :)

And when he successfully got the water to his mouth, he smiled and looked at me like "what do I do with his cold stuff now???" He joined me in laughter and then of course the water went everywhere which made us all laugh even more.

He tried successfully several more times...very, very, very fun!!!

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.
