13 Months

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Well Carysn turned 13 months on Saturday, I am a couple days late. Opps… Crazy that it has already been a month since his 1st birthday. Some things that he is getting better at is sitting up. He can do this ALMOST independently. He still falls over ever now and then. Since having his thumbs splints he is keeping both hands open more and using his left hand some. He gets his AFO’s next week. Those are his leg/feet braces. We are still waiting to hear about his equipment. Hopefully we will find out something soon.

Another photo with Zander. If you would like to join this project click here. You can see more photos here.

Things he loves:

  • Food, any and all food
  • Riding the ATVs
  • Watching Wonder Pets
  • Music
  • Swinging
  • Playing in the water
  • Trucks, anything with wheels, like his brother

Right now we are just going to keep going with the Occupational and Physical therapies. He has already improved so much. It can only get better from here, right? Carsyn has and is going to do great things. He brings a smile to anyone he meets. People always tell us how happy and easy going he is. I love my baby boy.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
