HAPPY BRITHDAY JACK

On March 2, 2009, Jack celebrated his first birthday. It's been quite a year to say the least, from the NICU to Long Beach, White Sox game to seeing Santa and all places in between. Jack was surrounded by his family to celebrate his special day. Jack is doing well and had is one-year

We want to thank everyone for all the support and generosity this past year, Jack has been an wonderful addition to our families and we hope his health remains strong.

We recently visited the doctor for his one-year check-up, the doctor was pleased with Jack's progress and thought he was continuiing to grow at a normal pace. Although Jack is behind in some areas we continue to see change each day, he is sitting up very well and rolling like a bowling ball. He continues to crawl on his back to get around and is just beginning to army crawl. He is an incredible joy each and every day, his smile melts your heart and his laugh is contagious. We can't wait to get out of the house once the weather breaks and take Jack to the park and along the lakefront, he really enjoys meeting new people and watching kids run around the playground.

Hope everyone is doing well, be sure to give us a call if you are in the neighborhood, Jack really enjoys visitors.
