Photos From the Week

Charlie has been having a tough time in the late afternoon hours. It's that transitional time when he's tired from the day's work, hungry for the upcoming meal and no body seems to have the brain power and stamina to give him their 100% attention. So Jack and I have been slinging him for about an hour a pop between 4 and 6pm.  Hopefully he'll grow out of it soon, but until then, we get to have sweet little snuggle moments like the one below.  Dead asleep!

Also, we're really excited about Charlie's new chair (Thank you Aunt Jean!). Its a low sea that he'll be able to use for years to come.  It has some lower back support, straps to keep his bottom in place and a very large tray so that he doesn't lose toys over the edge as easily as he did in his smaller chair. Isn't it wonderful?

And finally, Charlie has been doing so well in therapy these past weeks. Its so clear that his core strength and balance are improving. Here he is sitting on a low bench, provided to him by his physical therapist, Lori. He can use the back of the couch for back support, his feet can reach the floor for base support and Walker keeps him from listing to the side. He sat like this for almost 5 minutes!
