We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week. On Tuesday night we made a surprise visit to see Grandma and Grandpa Melton. Jaxon had a good time showing off of course. We went to visit Dad and Michelle afterward and Nana let Jaxon take a cat nap and you'll never guess who was up till 12:00??
On thanksgiving day we went to Jason's grandma Kaff's house for lunch. It was perfect we stuffed our faces and then I had to leave for work. Jaxon had a great time cracking up at Dale's little dog. We got a video and I will try to share it on facebook when I figure out how to get it off my phone. Since my phone doesn't do video it makes it a little difficult. We then had a Saturday dinner and Dad's. Same thing eat and run for me. Jaxon stayed and entertained everyone.
We had our first visit with Santa. Jaxon was so interested in his beard and he just couldn't stop staring at him. We had a hard time getting him to look at the camera. It was funny at least he didn't cry. The pictures turned out really cute and I can't wait to get them back. I hope they come before Christmas. We have been waiting on our family pictures for 2 months and still haven't gotten them back so who knows. One of Jaxon's nurses has taken off doing photography and she does so really good work so I'm hoping to maybe use her.
We were asked if we were interested in being an Ambassador family for the March of Dimes for the Topeka area next year. If we are selected we will basically be the face of the MOD in the Topeka area for 2011. It means pictures, speeches and any other public events to promote the March of Dimes. The largest event in Topeka is March for Babies. I'm also considering being on the board for the walk. I just want to make sure I have enough time to do everything so we benefit the MOD. They do great things.
Jaxon's update: Both he and I got a terrible tummy bug. We both were sick for a couple days and then it was over. He began taking small amounts of water from a sippy cup after his tummy felt better since he was so dehydrated. This was a big improvement. He actually thinks its fun. He has gotten his 2nd round of synagis. Went about the same as the first. He was heartbroken. 2 down 3 to go. He is doing really well on physical skills. He has learned to turn around on his butt and sit up from a lying position. He thinks he's big stuff. He is starting to move forward toward the crawling position he's just not sure enough of himself yet. Eating is at a standstill currently. We are debating getting a 2nd opinion on his cleft from a cleft palate team at KU med. We will see his OT therapist on Monday at children's mercy for a normal monthly appointment and consult her about a 2nd opinion. I just want to make sure we are doing everything we can for his progress.
