3 weeks post surgery: A first!

Today Ty drank from a sippy cup with the stopper in! For parents who have kids with cl/cp, you know my elation. He doesn't like to do it, but I clapped and made a huge deal, so he smiled and kept at it. And maybe someone can tell me why he insists that I hold the cup? I had to show him to put his lips around the spout. He's just used to biting on it to make the drink come out (it's a soft spout).

Anyway, 3 posts in one day is ridiculous, but this was big news I just HAD to share!!! Whoooo Hooooo! Here are some random photos from December that were on Kacie's camera. Thanks to Kacie for taking these!


Decorating a bag while we waited for a picture with Santa at the local fire station on Dec. 6th. Earlier that morning, Santa drove by our house on a fire engine with an ambulance in front blaring Christmas songs! Santa even threw candy. I love our small community!


Just lounging with Ba Ba, sometime after getting home from surgery.


Sporting my sunglasses today! What a goofball.


He loves to cuddle after the bath, and so do I! I always remember the 2 years of his life he didn't get this. It breaks my heart.
