Yummy Cereal!

Cereal for the first time, not sure what he thinks about it
"I'm not too sure about this, mom"


As you can see, Taylor has to be right on top of him all the time!

Well, Jarrett has had a busy week so far. We had his 4 month check up on Monday. His stats are....

15 lbs. 8oz - 75th percentile

26 1/4" in. long - 90th percentile

The doctor said we have a very healthy boy who is growing very well! He did get 3 more shots that day and we got the go ahead to start cereal. Yah! However, with having his shots, he wasn't in the mood to try cereal. (As you can see from the pictures above).

Yesterday, Jarrett had an appointment with the Ears, Nose and Throat doctor to decide on the scope. He decided that we do need to do the scope to confirm that he has Laryngomalacia and not the narrow trachea. We don't have a date for it yet, we are supposed to find out sometime this week when it will take place. The ENT doctor said that if it is the narrow trachea, but it is more than 50% open, we won't do anything but monitor him because he should grow out of it. If in fact, it is Laryngomalacia, and he has a lot of "floppy" skin in his throat, he can laser that out so he can breathe better, but of course, there are some risks involved with that, so he wants to do the scope first, then talk with Justin and I before doing anything else. If his Laryngomalacia isn't severe, they will just continue to monitor him and let him grow out of it. He reassured Justin and I that Jarrett will do great because as new parents, we are very nervous about having Jarrett put under at such a young age. The entire procedure from putting him under to bringing him back to will only take about 30 minutes, so that's good. We'll keep you all updated.

More good news on the homefront for us. Justin was offered a job yesterday from First Horizon Home Loans in Anderson. I'm so excited and happy for him as is he!!! Yah, I will finally have my husband home in the evenings and on weekends!!!

Well, that's about it for now...
