Creeping!

Jackson goes to the zoo!

I went to the zoo the first time on this Easter holiday

We rode elephants

I was excited about close encounter with giraffes

I saw a cheetah up close!

And a gorilla daddy smiled at me.

I sat on my daddy's shoulder to see the animals

We tried to scare mommy pretending we are a big gorilla! What a fun day!

Twister, the neighborhood horse

Look!  It's Twister.

Let's get closer...

Hey!  Let go of my jacket!

Mommy, Twister tried to eat my jacket :-(.

It's all good.

DOC Band Experience -- End of Round 1

With a heavy heart, today actually marks the beginning of Jackson's second round of DOC band treatment (although the new band doesn't arrive for 10 more days).  Before we start with round 2 though, how did round 1 go?

First, the improvement in Jackson's skull shape is quite noticeable.  Here is an animation of the before and after from above.

The numbers tell a similar story with every metric tracked showing significant improvement.  As for Jackson, he didn't seem to mind the helmet at all whether asleep or awake. We expect round 2 to be tougher though as warm weather will make his helmet a sweaty, stinky mess!

So why a second round?  Even with the significant improvement, Jackson's measurements are exactly on the boundary for recommending treatment.   

Almost Ready to Crawl

Hmm...How can I get my ball?

After pondering it all night...

First one leg,

then the other.

Wait, what does Mommy think?

Okay Daddy, take my picture.

Uh-oh, now what?
