Carsyn @ 20 Months Old

Filed Under: Family, Photography, Special Needs Tagged With: cerebral palsy, Holoprosencephaly

Carsyn turned 20 months old on the 11th. I can not believe it. He will be 2 in 4 months. Just crazy.  He now weighs 21 1/2 pounds and is 29 1/2 inches long. Yay for some growth. Praying it continues. If you could please pray for a couple issues Carsyn is having. Nothing serious yet, but I am praying and hoping it doesn’t turn into something serious. Thank you.

He is now playing peekaboo and waving hi and bye. He has also started making some new noises. His favorite thing to say is moo when he sees a cow it is so cute. He has also started to mimic a lot of noises and mouth moving. His hair is getting really long on the top as you can see in these photos but he is still rubbing it off on the back of his head. Poor guy. His therapist are all still pleased with the progress he is making. They said that slow and steady wins the race.

As you can tell in these photos he wasn’t his normal happy go lucky guy.  He ripped off his sticker and screamed almost the entire time. Poor little guy. Maybe new teeth to go with his molars? The last few days he has not been a happy camper. Hoping he will be back to his smiley self soon. My favorite photo this week. He is still so cute even when he is mad.

    Hi Sarah... back at it... trying not to "loose" the blog friends... I love this land o blog and you wonderful ladies I've met... its just so hard to live the busy life and stay in it without a messy house and neglected kiddos! ya know? =) anyway... time management is not my strong suit! anyway... Carsyn looks great!! He is such a cutie!! I will pray his unseen issues will not grow but subside... I remember the days of therapy with my little man... you'd never know it now... we still have issues but they are far less 'daily'... in all things God will work this together for the good... =) Enjoy the love and giggles... the joys of the here and now... each day is a gift! =) Blessings!!

    I love crying pictures. I use to take them for my clients when it happened and people always asked me why. I use to say it is an emotion and one day you will miss even the "bad" or "sad" emotions.They are only little for such a short time and I want to capture them in their entirety!

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. 🙌🏼
