Birthday Boy





Jackson turned 2!!!! We had a little birthday for him Thursday evening at home just Tony and I. Then today, we had a Handy Manny birthday with family and friends. Jackson really likes watching this cartoon on Disney. We had a great crowd despite the horrible storms moving through all day. It was going to be indoor/outdoor party, but with the flooding rains it was all inside. The kids ended up hitting the pinata in our garage and all turned out well! We really had a good time!!!! We thank everyone for coming and making Jackson's 2nd birthday so very special!

Unfortunately, Jack was not feeling so well at the party. He has been fighting bad ear infections. In fact, we have to go to a ENT specialist to likely get tubes placed in his ears. The pediatrician thinks it is important to get his ears corrected, in case it is affecting his speech and hearing. The appointment is next week. He seems to be feeling better tonight after dinner. Thank goodness! I was worried the past couple of days. He was not his usual happy self.

We wish our little man a very Happy Birthday! We are so proud of you....

Easter Pics









Here are a "few" pictures of Jackson at Easter. ;-) I couldn't pick from them, so posting them all. We had a great Easter in Austin. I have been meaning to post all week, but we were traveling, busy with birthdays and sick too! Jack just turned 2 on the Thursday, April 16th!! We had a big birthday today with our family and friends. I am going to post some more pics from the birthday, and will update more when I am rested!

6 month mark




Today is 6 months, since October 3rd, when Jackson had brain surgery!!!! 6 months of NO SEIZURES is an amazing thing!!!!! We are so proud of our little miracle man and his continued progress. I remember right after surgery being so excited over 1 day of no seizures. Believe me...that will be a memory I will never forget! It just keeps getting better and better! Such a blessing.

We took some pictures of Jackson in the Texas Bluebonnets. Not the best field around, but we live in the city. ;-) Usually, if you are on the open roads...the fields are covered.

Also, Jack is starting to crawl a little!! I have seen him do it 3 times, that I know of, in the past week. He is not at all consistent with it yet and really happens quickly when he does do it. Above is a picture of him as he crawled to a toy. We need to get a new video camera! Pictures do not quite capture all the action.

We are enjoying the last few weeks left with our 1 year old...and then he's 2 on April 16th!!! Thank you for checking in on him!
