We're done......almost!!!

Yesterday was Charlie's last helmet appointment!  Yay! We have been so pleased with his progress, and I know Charlie is going to miss going every other week.  He always has so much fun at his appointments!!  

He even decided to (almost!) stand on his own while we were waiting.  He was so proud of himself that he started clapping! Very cute!!

We loved his PT and we are going to miss her so much.  She was wonderful with Charlie!!

Look at his before and after photos--we are amazed! His head tilt (neck strength) is 100 times better and the shape of his head changed too.  WOW! They recommended we keep it on for two more weeks on our own to help one section continue to round out. So just a few more days and he is done with the helmet! Woohoo!

Way to go Charlie- we have an official Doc Band Graduate!!! 

Mr. ONEderful!

Happy first birthday sweet Charlie! We can not believe that you are already a year old. We had his 12 month appointment last week and his doctor could not be more pleased with how much he has grown this year.  Way to go Charlie! Here are his year stats:

Weight: 22.9 pounds - 50%

Height: 31 inches - 75-90%

Head Circumference: 90%!!

Look at how much he has grown over the year!

Happy birthday sweet thing! We are so blessed!

Winter ONEderland: The Party!!

Monday, January 2nd was Charlie's Winter ONEderland birthday party.  We had a blast celebrating the day with our family.   

 My two favorite boys

 Charlie and Uncle Adam

 Maw-Maw, Aunt Glenda, and Nana

Hanging out with Papa

Charlie loves his Aunt Chrissy

 Charlie and Gran Jan

Playing with Chaz

He loved playing with Norma

 Our family of 3

He was memorized by all the decorations around the house and could not wait to touch all of them- especially what was hanging from the ceiling

 

He was really happy when he pulled it down too

 

He loved opening all of his presents- what a lucky little guy!

At the end of his present opening he stood up and clapped for himself- it was pretty cute! Yay Charlie!!

Then, it was time for the smash cake! I was pretty excited about this- I couldn't wait to see how he liked cake.  This was the first sweet thing he has eaten, and I just knew he would get it all over himself.  I couldn't wait!

 He really didn't know what to think though and he just took little bites from it- pretty funny!

 By the end, he was getting more into it!

Thank you Adam for taking all the pictures so we could enjoy the day with our sweet boy!!

After the party, Charlie hung out in the back with the guys watching the Rose Bowl.  Gotta teach him early about our love for football!

Thank you to all of our family for spending the afternoon celebrating our little guy! We can't thank you enough for your love and support you have given us this year.  We are truly blessed!!!

Happy birthday sweet Charlie! We can't believe you are already a year old. What an amazing year it has been!!
