Hanging in there

We have one week left with the Spica cast! Desi is figuring out how to scoot around a bit, which must be taking a lot of upper body strength.

He really enjoys playing the piano and the organ. It's one of the few activities that occupies him for more than few minutes.
Desi helped me take the legs off this cool table so he can reach it.
Really though, we are just barely hanging in there. Even though there's only a week left, I reach a point every night where I feel like I can't do it anymore. My house looks like this most of the time.

My complete focus is keeping him comfortable. Just a couple more days!

Even though he was awake a lot of the night, he wanted to get up at dawn. So I got us dressed and took him out to our favorite bagel place. He was so happy to be going on an outing. As I buckled him in he excitedly asked "Go? Go!" When we got there, he proudly pointed out the bagel he wanted. Our little outing really cheered us both up after a hard night. Both my and Anthony's parents have came over with lots of gifts for him, trying to make things a little easier. We are so, so thankful. Also, Desi likes getting visitors. Today he enjoyed throwing balls into a box and using his new basketball hoop. I also made a sort of table that we can push the stroller under so Desi can feed himself. I'll cover it with something to make it a little nicer,  but right now he's just happy he can reach his own food. He took two long ...
