Catch Up

So it's been 2 months since my last update but that's not to say that things haven't been cruising along. Let's try and do a re-cap of all stuff new:
* My phone app that I use to blog and upload pictures broke so this post will also be picture-less. I need to find a new one as I have a bunch of cute photos to share!
* We ordered a right ankle foot orthotic (AFO) in early February and received it a couple weeks later.  He only wears it at night and thankfully seems to tolerate wearing it pretty well.
* We spent a weekend in the Wisc Dells with Travis and Kristi and their kiddos.  We all had a fun time, even Maverick who I was worried would be bothered by the echoing noise in the pool area.  He ended up enjoying the pool and all the people to watch.
* I had pictures taken of Maverick in mid-February to celebrate his sneak-a-peek day.  They turned out amazing and I am so glad we did that.  I'll share a few in another post.
* Maverick had outpatient surgery on March 14 (nothing SB related).  All went well except for his sleep since then.  He has decided that waking up every 2-3 hours is a fun game to play with mommy.  Ultimately, he wins that game :(  He's also turned into a major mommy's boy which results in me holding him often.  I don't complain too much about that and try to soak up the cuddles when I can!
* My grandpa passed away on March 12.  Luckily I (along with Jaxon) was able to go visit him the day before he passed.  The whole family made the trek to Sheldon for the funeral - 14 hours in the car does not equal fun for all, in particular a baby who doesn't want to be in his car seat.  But it was nice to see family and reminisce about the great memories with Grandma and Grandpa Potter.
* Maverick has started weekly PT clinic visits.  The hope is that this propels forward some of the progress that we're seeing in the gross motor development area.  He's handling it okay, ends up getting fussy about 40 minutes into the 60 minute session.  As he gets used to the PT, maybe this will get better.
* Maverick turns 1 this coming Sunday.  Where on earth does the time go?  I cannot believe how fast these past 52 weeks have gone by.  I also can honestly say that outside of the many many doctor's appointments, I've been pleased with how little actual interventions we've needed to do in relation to SB.  He's my rock star!
