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!

His favorite part was feeding the bunny rabbits, he really wants one for a pet. His least favorite part was the corn maze. He ended up going in with his teacher and a few friends, they got lost and had to be rescued. He said he will never go in there again. 🤣

She lost her top tooth this morning while brushing her teeth. All of a sudden she stopped then turned her head and spit the tooth out. I was cracking up. She keeps me on my toes.

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.
