It’s been a long time since I’ve updated.

Some random shots :)

Boat fun :)

Bed time is play time

Fun at chuck e cheese

Family fun day at Mikey's school

Some Mikey shots

Mikey did it :)

Mikey has been working so hard and he finally can get himself sitting up. It takes him time and hard work but if you tell him to sit up he can :) I'm so proud. 

A grandmas love is the most precious thing.

Grandma Rose loved Mikey so much. You can see it in her face.  Such a proud great grandma. She will be missed. We love you grandma. 

Weekend fun

Mikey's first pumpkin he helped paint

We had fun doing this project. Mikey wanted to rub the paint on the pumpkin so next time I think I will get finger paints :) happy Halloween

Life is so hectic

I want to post here all the time and I seem to always forget. I read a blog from a mom who has I believe 9 children most with special needs she writes daily. This should be cake for me lol

Mikey's doing well since his Botox. He has a better range of motion which is helping him try to do more things. Like getting in his knees :)

He's loving school and we just got his wonderful new bed. Everything is going well on our end. Now for some pictures.

Summer begins for Mikey

Mikey is done with school till September 5th. He will be spending lots of time with grandma and grandpa and then 2 weeks with mommy and 1 with daddy :)

Hawthorne lions club ramp project

Amazing men are building a ramp for Mikey. We can't even begin to say thank you.

Cooling off

He can feed himself an ice POP :)

Apparently 2012 Im not doing any better with blogging!! Maybe by 2013 lol. Mikey is doing very well. His progress is slow but hes making progress. We are set to have botox done on September 21, 2012. Hoping this helps him to sit better and start to stand. Hes holding his cup much better then ever. He loves school. I promise to upload pictures soon. Trying to cope one day at a time is challenging sometimes. Some days are easy some days are so hard. This is our life whether we like it or not. Anything I have to face is nothing compared to what Michael has to face every day. He has a life journey ahead of him and hes has to always push. Life isnt going to be easy for him but with his great personality Im sure he will be just fine.

So far behind...

I wanted to keep this blog up to date but its been hard to do. I will try harder in 2012. This was a rough year for me emotionally. I was finally able to face reality that my son is handicap. I went threw the denial phase the anger phase and I finally think Im at acceptance. I keep saying one day at a time. I feel so much love for this little boy and will do whatever I have to make his life the best it can be.

Merry Christmas to everyone and I promise more pictures soon. I have them all on facebook :-) Its much easier for me to keep up there for some reason.

Handsome man

Mikey is such a cutie :)

Bath seat has arrived / Eye Check up

I am so glad we finally got Mikeys bath seat. Tonights bath was no picnic for me. Since Mike wasnt home it was just me trying to figure this thing out. The poor baby wasnt to comfortable but I think he liked having more room. I promised him tomorrow we would have more fun. Ive been dying to have fun bath time but it never happened because he didnt have the room to move and he wasnt sitting. Now we have much more room!! Hope tomorrow is better :-)

Today was also Mikeys 6 month check up with Dr. Mickey. He said everything was great! Good news is the best news!! Hes impressed at how well the surgery corrected his turn. He said to come back in 6 months just for a follow up.

It was hard waiting for the Dr because there were kids in the waiting room looking at Mikey like he was different. I guess because hes our child he doesnt seem any different to us but to a stranger they are wondering why is that kid not walking or talking or sitting up? It was hard and its just the begining ... but we will face these things and get threw them one day at a time.

Signing off... time for some mommy and daddy time which we rarely get :-)

Happy 4th of July

Michael enjoyed the fire works and the parade! Hes such a happy baby! He even learned to stick his tongue out at Mommy :-)

First Circus for Mikey

The above photo tells all! He did really enjoy the circus!



The juggling was his favorite!!
