Hello all! Our little Jet turned 3 weeks old yesterday (on his Uncle Nate's birthday! What a good day!) and his Mommy and Daddy are amazed how much he is growing and changing! It's like all of a sudden he's a big boy! :) I looked in a mirror while holding him and couldn't believe how long he was - and don't even get us started on how alert he is becoming. Because of Jet's diagnosis of spina bifida he qualifies for a program called Babies Can't Wait. This organization is a support system that will help us with anything from finding physical therapists to enrolling him in pre-k (when the time comes....in the very distant future! lol). So we met with a representative yesterday and had to fill out an evaluation form on Jet and what we observe him doing (milestones he is reaching or should be in the next few months). We were so excited as we went down the list checking off almost everything! We had no idea that sucking and breathing simultaneously was a milestone! We were like "he can SO do that!" lol. Go Jet! So we left there pretty happy that our little boy is so far doing everything he is supposed to. We are so blessed at how healthy and happy our little boy is. We have some upcoming doctor's appointments to check on everything (head, bladder, legs) and we pray that we keep getting the good news we are getting so used to. :) We thank God he has not needed a shunt yet (as we nervously watch his little head for "signs" of fluid increase - do that have to scare us like that?) and that we are currently not cathing - yep he can pee with the best of them! He wet through his diaper last night onto his crib. (Yes - he slept his first night in his big boy bed last night!) We hooked up the baby monitor and tried not to worry...well, Mommy tried not to worry. lol. Daddy is the cool and collected one. He slept great (and we did better too not hearing every little snort and gurgle). So here's our big boy! Growing strong and giving us so much to smile about.
Hi Daddy!

Yeah Jet!!!! So glad all is going so well! Who would have thought you would be excited about your baby wetting through a diaper? :) We can't to meet Jet and see all of his cuteness in person!!!
Yay!! I'm so glad y'all tried out his nice comfy crib. Everybody will get much better sleep now. :) We loved coming to see him and I can't wait to come back and bring Maddie. I showed the pics to our team today and everybody just said how stinkin adorable he is! I told them that if it is possible, he is even cuter in person. Hope to see you soon! give Jet kisses from Maddie and I. :)
Good to hear that Jet is growing strong!!! I love his outfit:-)
so awesome! It's always great to get such good news at visits like that. When you leave, you feel like you are floating on air.
Once again that sweet Jet is as cute as can be!
Yahoo!!! What a little tiger he is! ;) The people at Baby's Can't Wait were very nice when Emma was there. It's a good program. I'm so tickled for you guys! Jet is such a doll and yep, his Mom is foxy too. :)
I can't wait to meet him in person!
