So....Jackson was not thrilled to have his birthday photo shoot out on the bricks.
And was less cooperative the longer we were out. However, this weekend he enjoyed a double birthday party with the big sis. He also enjoyed his sugar-free, gluten-free, fat-free, fun-free rice krispy "cake." More pictures to come.
For the first time in 5 months...Jackson didn't gain weight, he lost 5 ounces! AND he got an "ear infection that manefested in his lungs"?? I didn't even know that was possible!
Then last week he (when he was all well from the lung-ear infection) he got his first dose of the flu shot. He is allergic to egg so he did not get it last year. And he got the flu last winter. And he stopped breathing (briefly) last winter.
But we (pediatrician, allergist, dietician - his team) all decided that it might be best that Jackson to get the flu shot this year because the CDC had changed their recommendations for flu shot and egg allergies.
He has been itchy and rashy since then but NO breathing difficulties (which is WONDERFUL)!!! Yay!! We go back for dose #2 of the flu shot in late November.
However, I guess he scratched one foot so badly that an infection in the scratch caught hold. It could be either a "staff infection or mrsa, it's hard to say," says pediatrician. I said, "No, no, no, no, no!" Not to my sweet precious! No! So....Jackson is on a very strong antibiotic to kill those bad germs. And I'm pretty sure that we will be headed back down to Dallas to see dietician soon because of the weight loss. 
Last weekend Matt and I went to his 20 year high school reunion. And here is the salutatorian, quarterback, track star, FCA and NHS president, etc, etc, etc (I can't remember all that he did in high school - but it was a lot).
Out of the 65ish graduates of Post High School in 1991, there were about 25-30 that attended one of the events.
I believe this is the mile relay team of 1991.
And here we are with Matt's proud parents - Pops and Jarre.
