Busy Boy

Well it sure has been a very busy week for Mr. Jackson. He had his six month check up on Monday and I am super proud to say he weighs a whopping 14 lbs 1 oz. He finally hit the chart on his actual age being at 13%!!!! I know some people must think that isn't a big deal but for this little man it is! Everything looks great as far as growth goes. The doctor is having us revisit the surgeon to get his umbilical hernia checked out. Jackson is still able to push out his intestines from a tiny little hole that is trying to close. This causes a tiny red flag because if Jackson's intestines are pushed out and the hole closes it could cause a whole mess of problems. Looks like the little guy will need a surgery sooner rather then later to fix this problem. All in all he is doing very well! Oh and before I forget to mention this was the first time Robert traveled without me with Jackson. So Jackson says, " Yay Daddy, thanks for taking me to the Doctor!!!" Poor Robert called me at work and said, " Kristi you have to call the doctors office. I have to turn back around and get the diaper bag." He ran late but made it with that darn diaper bag.
I took Jackson on Tuesday to the hearing aid doctor to get his second hearing aid. I think Jackson and I both have a huge dislike for those little buggers. We both hate putting them in and they always fall out. Those little suckers aren't cheap so I chase them down like they are gold. The audio Doctor, Kasey, had to take a second set of molds because his ears had already grown within the last month. She has told me that as he gets older the hearing aids will become second nature to him.
I thought I would add a few new things that Jackson has started to do. He has discovered he loves to take out his nasal cannula out of his nose and chew on them. He has a stuffed dog that he just loves to pieces and cracks the biggest smiles when that dog is around. He is holding up his head much better now and I just know that soon he won't be a wobble head anymore.

All smiles!

P.S. Big thanks to my cousin Michelle for the awesome pictures!
