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. :)

    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!

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.

Annelyn is loving her new hair cut and loving her hair straightened. Swipe for some adorable photos, she came up with all her own poses. Also the very last photo is her hair before, it was a hot mess. Mollie cut off 3-4 inches and it looks much healthier now.
