First Haircut!

"What is this cool thing?"

the Before Pic

of course, he had to taste it!!

the After pic! He looked like he was a super hero flying a plane! What a great experience. He had no idea what was going on and had a blast!

Helmet update

We had a scan done today on Jackson's head. The Orthodist said that there was very little growth~actually 0.004 to be exact~and that he has already made most of the progress at the point. She told us that he should only wear it for naps and bedtime for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks we go in for an appointment and she said more than likely will stop wearing it all together! John and I are very happy with the improvements we have seen and he already did better than they expected he would.

as Eric said, "I'm Jackson's seat belt!"

We had such a great time in Avalon, NJ! Jackson did so good on the plane. He really didn't sleep much on the way there or back, but he was a good boy :) I love getting to see all my family~we usually are lucky to see them maybe 1 time a year or so. This was Jackson's first time meeting most of them and he just loved it! We kept him out late many nights and he was such a sweet boy! He had a blast playing with all my aunts, cousins, and friends! He especially LOVED playing with Eric, who is 5 years old. He entertained him all the time and just really seemed to have a special bond with him :) We hope we get to go again next year and can't wait to see everyone at Christmas!!
