We Got the House!

So assuming everything else sails by smoothly, we will be homeowners at the end of April. We are so excited. It will be great to have our own yard, to not share walls, to make our own updates, etc.

We Put In An Offer

We put in an offer on a house in Sandy. We really hope we get the house. Cross your fingers!!

8 Months Old

Jason is 8 months old now. Four months until he is a year old. Crazy. We are having a lot of fun with this little guy.

Recent Accomplishments:

• rolling all over the place
• going from sitting position to his tummy (it's mostly a calculated head dive)
• eating cheerios and other new finger foods
• objecting when we do something he doesn't like
• emptying the contents of a drawer if mom will let him
• working on the pincer grasp
  
• becoming the most popular baby in the ward (his helmet might have something to do with that--all the men think it is "awesome")

And now for some picture updates:

Jason in front of the fan--he loves it. We used to have to put him in front of the fan several times a day to cool him down, but thankfully we don't have to worry about it anymore because his body adjusted to the helmet. Now we do it just for fun.


His forehead is red because he rolled onto his tummy during nap time, threw a fit, got rolled back over once, got rolled back over twice, and after the third time in a row, we made him learn to sleep on his tummy. He survived.




New head shots to show the improvement. The helmet still sits crooked because his head still isn't perfectly round.





Shootin' some hoops--a new favorite activity, although you wouldn't guess it from the look on his face. I can't get very many action shots of him because as soon as I bring out the camera, he stops and stares at it. At least he'll look at the camera, right?

Oh Where Is My Husband?

I think he got swallowed by the testing center... Happens a lot this semester.

Head Progress

Jason had a check-up today to see how well his head is doing with the helmet. He is progressing rapidly. His asymmetry is now within normal ranges, and his head is slowly rounding out in the back. We expect to be done with the helmet in 4 weeks. Yippee!

I should post some pictures of his head now, but most of our spare time is spent house hunting, and that is what I should be doing right now.

Little Cupid Wants To Say.....

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

One Step Forward, One Step Back

When we took Jason's helmet off Tues. morning, we were surprised to see how fast his head shape had changed. Unfortunately, he had also developed a heat rash, so we were instructed to keep the helmet off until the redness goes away. Twenty four hours later, it still is red. And his head has gone back to pre-helmet shape. We're back to where we started. Hopefully we can at least learn how to keep him even cooler in the future.
