What's the matter, never seen a baby reindeer before?

About this outfit, he wore it once. Turns out we got a 0-3 month for him at the store and discovered he needed 3-6. DOH! But the hat really completes the look.

Jonathan had his shots yesterday and was not very happy about it. The crying level went from 0-60 in a second and of course it broke the hearts of his mommy and daddy to see him crying so hard. The tears made his long curly eyelashes stick together and his face all red.

But out of this visit came lots of positive news. Jonathan is 12.5 pounds and 23 inches. Just another 7 inches and he will be half the size of Edith...YIKES, that will start making feedings interesting.

The best news however, and many who read the blog won't know about this as we kept it within the family ranks, is that Jonathan is healthy in every way. Because one test came back abnormal at the hospital they feared, even though he didn't have any signs other than some early extra weight loss, that Jonathan could have cystic fibrosis. So the test results came back, and they were all spectacular, not even close to being in a questionable range. This was another stressfull experience, a few months into the pregnancy we did a test that came back saying he might have downs syndrome, which obviously turned out wrong. The conception date was off by a couple weeks which messed up the time sensitive test.

This was a long entry, had a lot to say. Very happy about JD being healthy, it has been a long week and it is nice to have some positive news.

More pictures coming soon.

Based on his daddy's genes, I have a feeling JD may outgrow his mom before you know it! We're all thrilled to hear the confirmation that he is perfectly healthy.
