9 Months and Other Stuff


So we found out yesterday afternoon that Jackson's surgery has been postponed until November 12th. We were really hoping for him to be well on his way to healing prior to the holidays, but it looks like the recovery process will be more right smack dab in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Oh well... (I find myself saying that over and over these days. Hmmm... Maybe I should find a new thing to say? Ideas?)



On a lighter note... Jackson is 9 months old today! While at the doctor's office yesterday, they decided to weigh him just to find out where he's at. Our boy weighed in at a healthy 20.5 lbs! Yes, you read that right! I was wondering why my arm has been hurting. Daniel and I are a bit intimidated by the fact that one day Jackson will most likely be towering over us...

We just started fruits and vegetables. The unfortunate thing about open palates - everything comes through the nose, not to mention ending up all over his face in general.

I can't resist these dimples...

What a cutie! I can't believe he weighs over 20 lbs!! That's great! He's nice and healthy. We'll be praying for the surgery and recovery for both Jackson and you and Daniel.
Hugs,

He is absolutely adorable!! I love all the pictures, and the dimples are irresistable. My little guy is now 7 months and over 17 lbs. They grow up SO fast. I will continue to keep Jackson and the whole family in my prayers as you prepare for his Nov surgery.

Oh my gosh, he's sooo cute! Even with fruits and veggies on his face, he's a charmer.

I know Im a complete stranger, but I am a friend of Andrea Gouffs. She told me to check out your blog and Im glad I did. My son was born 6 weeks ago with Pierre Robin and had to undergo huge jaw surgery at two weeks old. He has a cleft pallate too. I was so glad to see your little man eating solid food and doing a great job. I am so worried about this and I had no idea if it would be possible and when. Thanks for blogging all this info. I hope you dont mind if I ask you questions and check your blog. It is refreshing to hear you talk about your appreciation for faces and to read how you have grown since the beginning. You can see our story on our blog if you want. I feel like it is a story that is just starting. Thanks
