Update visit with Dr Kelly

Its been 2 years since Jaime's Cranio op, and on a yearly basis we need to visit Dr Kelly for a checkup.  Now I know everything is good, you can see it, Jaime responds well, is growing, is extremely intelligent (Mom's genes), but geez was I still anxious for this appointmnet.  Funny how you always think of the negative when in state of anticipation. 

So the feedback:  Jaimes head is looking really good.  Dr Kelly was very happy with his shape, his bumps, the spaces still open (these allow for extra growth in future), his eye orbit size and shape.  So overall a good visit.  He said I would need to find a doctor where ever we go as Jaime needs annual checkups till he reaches the age of 10.

My mom went along for the ride ...and so did the camera.

The Jardim 3.  

Its Pretty clear who Jaime takes after - For those of you who know Ili, and for those who dont, he just doesnt like taking plain old "smile for the camera photos"-  Its one of my MIL pet peeves LOL

Jaime starting early...if I cant reach it it will come to me....

The 60's birthday cake

The Birthday folks: Maria, Manuel, Bishop Frank and my Mom (Eduard is also part of the 60's club but is currently in Tasmania)

So like I said it was great for Jaime to meet some new cousins, however, there is always a but!  He sort of became fond of little Daniella... yip his cousin, very distant but STILL cousins!  I have to congratulate him in his taste for girls, they all pretty and very interesting to talk too ;-)
