JACK says MERRY CHRISTMAS!
and wants to especially welcome home his Aunt Nora!!
Before we get started with Jack's adventures we want to Congratulate Aunt Bridge and Uncle Mike on their great news that "The Bridge" is expecting. We are all very happy and excited for them, another boy to add to the clan ?????. Houlihan to Smith to McDermott to Kennedy,sounds like quite a team. Best wishes to Mike and Bridge.
It's been awhile since we've updated everyone on how Jack is doing. It's been an incredibly busy fall and early winter. Jack has literally been on the go all the time since our last update. On December 5, 2008, Jack had his nine-month check-up. Doctor Martin was pleased with Jack's progress and says everything looks good for continued good health. During that doctor's visit Jack received six shots, yes six. Although Jack's legs aren't as small as they once were it was still difficult to watch. There were flu shots and shots that preemies get to prevent whats called RSV. It's important for Jack to receive these shots to protect his immune system from viruses.
During the fall Jack spent alot of time with Mom and Dad touring the South Loop and visiting with friends and family. Jack has had several sleepovers at Grandma Smith's where he is the center of attention as you can imagine. Grandma Houlihan has continued to spoil Jack with many wonderful gifts and visits. Jack made his second visit to Misericordia last week to attend their annual Christmas luncheon, Jack enjoyed the show and even got to meet Santa Claus. This week Mom and Dad took Jack to see Santa at Macy's (Marshall Fields), it just isn't the same as it used to be back in the day. Jack did have a big smile for Santa though.
This has truly been an incredible year for us, we want to extend our deepest thanks to our families and friends who have supported us in so many ways. When Jack was born the outpouring of love and support from everyone was overwhelming that mere words aren't enough to express our gratitude. You can't imagine what a truly fantastic ride the last nine months have been. We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
We will be updating the blog regularly, stop in and say hello!!!!!!
