How do you keep them from growing...

Jackson is getting so big. He has been getting better at crawling and now can go from a crawl to a sit.

Dog Pile, these two are becoming best friends

Jackson is a funny eater. The first bite I gave him was cereal the next is green beans.

Jackson's New Crib...it only took 7 months, we upgraded from the pack and play.

I think he like the new crib

We had a great time in Mexico.

Jackson loved swimming!

He was so relaxed, he feel asleep

On the way home we stopped and stayed with Ben and DaNae in Las Vegas.

Going to Buffalo, NEW YORK

Well the news is out...I matched at University of Buffalo Med Peds program for residency. Does the sun shine in Buffalo?

3 Months Old

Jackson is only 3 months old and has seen or slept through 6 states during our move to Salt Lake City. It has been great to be back inside the bubble, cafe rio and family dinners. To bad it will only last until residency, next week is match week and I will find out where we will be going.

College Football Hall of Fame

Welcome to the College Football Hall of Fame...

This is where all the national Champions are listed in various polls...1984 BYU!

Future Cougar linebacker

LaVell Edwards among the Hall of Famers...can you name the other 2 BYU players? Ill give you a hint they both played the same position. I however did not see anyone from Utah. (I'll admit I didn't look that hard)

In the entrance they place these helmets according to polls

This is for Edon...Yes BYU had a top 25 finish too along with TCU.

Jackson also had his sweat test done today. If you do not know, during his newborn screening they found one mutation on the CFTR gene, Cystic Fibrosis. CF is recessive, so he needs two mutations to have the disease. However they wanted to make sure he is only a carrier. Which is why we did the sweat test. First they take the two caps and place them into the electrodes and apply them to the leg for 5 mins. Then they put on the collector, the thing that looks like a watch, to collect the sweat. We did this first back in Dec, but Jackson did not sweat enough, so we had to do it again today.

These are the electrodes...

Jackson is getting ready for the test to begin.

Once the collector is in place they put plastic wrap around the collector and hold it all in place with the same type of bandage used after donating blood.

It is on there so tight that his leg turned purple, you have to wait 30 mins with the collector in place to gather enough sweat. After the test was done I had to wait around for 4 hours to get the results...thats why I went to the hall of fame. He does not have cystic fibrosis, just got a crummy gene from either Edon or I. None of my siblings have had their kids screened, Utah only began the screening last month.

These next few are since the last post...we are just hanging around the house.

Once again a tough babysitting job, sorry parenting as Edon calls it.

Do I look like a burp cloth...

I love Jackson's face here

This morning he found his thumb and has used it twice since today.

These are from his 2 month old photo shoot today, he is 14 lbs and 24 inches long.
