packing on the pounds

Chiron was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis a few weeks ago. After the initial shock wore off everyone is doing very well. He's gained lots of weight (after losing a frightening amount) and is healthy, happy and as inquisitive as ever. He gets enzymes prior to each meal that allow him to properly digest his food and get the nutrition he needs. With parents like Alicia and Lincoln I have no doubt that he will lead a full and joyful life. He is a wonder!

On this day we had fun sticking out our tongues and making funny noises with our mouths. Chiron has recently discovered his tongue and is enjoying every moment. We also danced and sang along while his dad, Lincoln, played his mandolin for us.
