Jackson's First Haircut





Jackson basically had a mullet, and something had to be done. We took him to a place that specializes in hair cuts for kids. They could not cut his hair because he did not have shoes on. They said hair can in bed itself under skin and cause an infection. We were just going to take him back later when I decided that I could cut it myself, so I did. It looks pretty good, he looks totally different to me. He looks like such a big boy.

Reunion






The reunion was wonderful. Jackson put my camera in the dog water bowl the day before so I did not have a camera and my mom's camera battery died so I do not have many pictures sorry. It was so great to get to see all of our old friends. We met some new ones too. We got to see baby Fin who was going on ECMO around the time we went home, and baby Suarez who went on ECMO shortly after we left. It was so amazing to see all these little kids who had been through so much having so much fun and just being kids, not "sick kids". We got to see some of our nurses and doctors and missed others. The one thing we did not expect to get in Houston was the cold. Jackson came home with a cold and then everyone in the family got it, we were all miserable but all fine now. Jackson reacted to the cold the same way anyone 18 month old would. It basically made him tired and snotty, but that didn't bother him. He has recently taken to putting things in the toilet which has been a wonderful experience. We caught him using Adam's hat as a ladle and scooping water up from the toilet to the floor. He was so proud of himself. He is still not really eating but we got him to eat 1/2 a package of baby food the other day in the afternoon then the other half that night. Nothing else since though. I guess that's all for now enjoy the pics.

Love,
Kimberly, Adam, and Jackson
