1 Year Cranioversary!

We thought is was pretty cool that Isaac had his 1 year check-up appointment on the anniversary of his surgery. He is so much older and easier to take to the doctor! He was so cute and talked with the doctors and was pretty cool with all the head rubbing.

Dr. Siddiqi was really impressed with how well his scar has healed, it is hardly visible. He says that has a lot to do with genetics, so we are grateful for wherever those came from. He does have a couple holes that haven't grown in yet, but he feels confident they will. It could take some time since they didn't fill in when his head was healing most rapidly in the first months after surgery.

We won't be coming back here for a year if all goes well. We are going to watch and make sure his head is growing at his next pediatricians appointment and we'll come back sooner if it hasn't. They think that it will have grown because he is doing everything and more that he should be at this age, and he isn't having trouble sleeping or headaches.

This boy is SO loved! We can't imagine our family without him and love all the joy, laughter, cuddling, and sweetness he brings. We even love his spunk that comes through in little tantrums.

His cousin Jessica took some darling photos for us. Look at that beautiful head! There is still a bit of a ridge on his forehead that they will fix when he's five if we think it is too pronounced. We're just praying it smooths out on its own and we don't have to consider that path.

Happy 1 Year Cranioversary to our perfect little boy! We love you Isaac and appreciate all you have taught us through your courageous and patient attitude. We are grateful you are healthy and happy and that we get the amazing blessing of having you in our family. XOXO
