Carsyn Turns 21 Months

Filed Under: Family, Parenting, Special Needs Tagged With: carsyn, Holoprosencephaly, milestone

Carsyn turned 21 months on Saturday.

This post is going to be anything but wordless today. Ha ha.

I can not believe in 3 short months my sweet baby boy will be 2 years old. When Dustyn was this age I was 6 months pregnant with Carsyn. I didn’t have a care in the world and had no idea there was something wrong with Carsyn.

Stats:

  • Weight 22lbs
  • Height 29 1/2 inches
  • Wearing some 12 and some 18 month clothes
  • Size 3 diapers
  • One nap in the afternoon, about 3 hours.

I am so very thankful that he is growing and gaining weight. We need him to keep on growing so that he can get a gait trainer/walker. I will be so happy when that day happens. I am ready for him to start being a little more independent. Feels like I have had a 5/6 month old for a year and a half. At least he is cute though.

What’s New:

  • Sitting up is getting better.
  • He has been using his pointy finger more. Especially on the iPod. Can not wait to get him an iPad.
  • He loves putting his fingers and hands in his mouth.
  • Still loving Curious George 2.
  • Loves pulling things out of baskets and bowls.
  • Loves playing in food and making a mess
  • Enjoys playing with play doh.
  • New sounds, baa, moo, maa, buu.
  • He just started seeing a new speech therapist. She loves using iPads for speech. Another reason I want one.

I am so thankful for the joy that he brings to me and everyone around him. Hope this post brought a smile to your face and gave you a little joy. I know he makes me smile every day.

    He is so adorable. That grin! :D You'll love an iPad, I'm sure. We got Android tablets for the kids for Christmas, and it amazes me how Hannah just knows how it works! There are so many toddler friendly apps, too. :)

    What a cute little guy! Love the photos. My little girl is in such a busy phase that I can barely get her to hold still for pictures! We have an iPad and it is great! There are so many good apps for kids to keep them busy AND help them learn.

    Yay Carsyn! Hunter is in love with Curious George as well! What apps does your therapist use? I'm always looking for new ones to use at work and to do with Hunter. :]

    I know what you mean about them growing so fast, Addison is only a few weeks older than Carsyn and I can't believe she will be 2 so soon. I'm glad to hear his therapies are helping him!

It was a nice secluded spot that we might just make our new spot. The kids had a blast, I am glad it stays shallow here plus we didn’t have to worry about waves.

Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is almost the end of May! Had my hair trimmed yesterday, and my eyebrows tinted. The eyebrow dye last for about 4-6 weeks. It gradually lightens up over time. I included the photo of Annie after she did her “makeup”. This project 365 isn’t looking like I thought it would. I was hoping to use my DSLR more but end up just using my phone and using random photos I take during the day. Nothing specific or set up pretty, but it works. I’m still capturing memories.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.
