7 months

Chase is 7 months old (as of May 19th).

He really is growing up so fast!! The time is flying by and before we all know it, I will be posting about his 1st birthday!

Chase has been holding his own bottle and sippy cups lately. He gets excited to see a sippy with handles and while he's still working on his aim and tilting back, I'd say he's doing pretty well.

He's sitting up more and more on his own. It's hard work, but he is getting better at it. He also tries to pull from laying down to sitting, but that silly belly gets in his way, lol.

Chase had a MRV and saw his neurosurgeon on May 22nd. His ventricles have opened a bit but are not as opened as she would like to see, so she turned his pressure down again. His shunt is now set at 2.5 which is the lowest it will go! We don't have to see her again until the end of July or beginning of August.

We had Chase's Early Intervention 6 month evaluation. He met the goals we set in December! Our new goals include rolling consistently, and sitting straight up unassisted.

Chase doesn't have and major appointments coming up soon. Just a eye recheck and then July will be his 9 month checkup and August will be his surgery (yuck).

Hopefully next month we will have more to report!
