Birthday Boy!

Can you believe it? Kyle is a year old today!

He's been doing really well since the fundoplication surgery. He's been home except for therapy sessions and check-ups. In "speech" therapy (feeding therapy), he's been progressing slowly but surely and he now takes small amounts of baby food. He makes horrible faces and gets most of it up his nose it seems but he gets some of it down. In physical therapy, we're trying to get him to where he can crawl or at least sit up for a while. It's a big difference from Hannah's first year. She was already walking by 9 months old. But considering all he's been through, it's amazing how well he's progressing.


I know a lot of people may be expecting a birthday party for Kyle but considering he's not quite up to eating, the cake seems a little pointless and he is not a big fan of the outdoors so the park is out of the question. Besides, with Chris out of work all week, finances are a little scant, I'm loaded up with projects and homework for school, and of course the arrival of Kyle's birthday means we're coming up on the anniversary of Eric's death. Next year we'll just have to do a real blow-out for his 2nd birthday party.
