Just Keep Swimming...

 Monday April 29, 2013

Today Jack, JR, and I traveled back into Orlando to visit our favorite neighborhood pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Knapp for our monthly follow-up. We had a lot of questions as Jack is ready to move move move! His nurses, especially Annette, couldn't believe how big Jack has gotten.  He was only 6.9 lbs when we checked in with them the first time...and now he is at least 14 lbs. We forgot to get a weight this day, so we will have one for everyone after our pediatrician appointment on May 14th.  Jack had x-rays done of his pelvis and right leg. After some range-of-motion, and observation, Dr. Knapp gave us the all-clear to "...move him like he's normal." YAY!!!!  He wants to see us in the office in 2 months, and he said to keep the brace on at night just for another month, "...in case." What a great appointment! God is GOOD!!!! So, now we can have bouncy chairs, put weight on his feet, and sit him upright! How exciting!

 Since the last post...Jack has found his toes....he thinks they are fabulous. He can't quite get them to his mouth like his buddy Megs, but he's trying. He likes to do this pose all the time, especially during diaper changes. Needless to say, we have to shield alot more now in case he decides we need a shower.

Our friend Lins visited from Idaho. We took her, and Jack to the Gaylord to check out where daddy works. What great timing, because not only did we get to meet all the cool people he works with, but Shrek, Po, and Puss were all out and about...and we got to see them feed the gators...yes..they have gators.

Well, that is it for today...I hope all is well in your worlds! Jack Jack will post pictures of his first swimming adventure next weekend! Here are a few from today...half rolling over, and tummy time!
