Re: 3 pics, 1 yr. AFTER DOC Graduated

[Guest guest]

Whoa ! How the heck are ya? That's quite a move you made!

Hubby and I say that when we move, we'd like to stay in Northeast

Philly, I can't imagine moving halfway accross the country! But it

sounds like things are going much better for all of you, I'm so happy

to hear that! Max looks adorable, as always! Good luck with

preschool starting. My oldest starts (gasp!) first grade on

Thursday, and my second oldest starts preschool next Thursday. And I

am counting down the days, I never realized how long summer could be!

It's good to have you back!

both kids start preschool on Tuesday at the same place. I have a FT

job and Jack (husband) is employed after being unemployed in SF for 6

months. That's why we moved here in the first place.

Notice the " edge " of his backside of his noggin. He is in despearate

need of a hair cut so please ignore the bushy mop and he's taking a

nap but I wanted to show you how his head is SO nice and basically

round a year after graduating from his DOC band.

take some " above " shots and show you how it's continued to improve

without the band. I am SO thankful for getting the treatment done for

him. I'd've never been able to live with myself if I didn't get it

done.

> For those who don't know us, Maxwell had tort & plagio and got his

DOC band at 10.5 months, wore it for 16 weeks and looks marvelous

now. He didn't utter a word before the band nor crawl or really eat

much. He started to walk at 17.5 months but slept through the night

the very first night he got his band on and started to crawl the next

day. He was a big baby (not when he was born, mind you) and has

settled into the 50th percentile for height & weight but his head is

still in the 80th (used to be 90th so the rest of him is catching

up!) though when he was a month early at birth, he was off the

charts, meaning below. He's a typical 2 year old boy and loves his

trucks and Buzz Lightyear (his 4.5yr. old sister convinced him to

like Buzz, BTW...) and dinosaurs. He's also very sweet and still

loves to cuddle with his mom but he won't give up that thumb of his!!

then this summer so you can see his face/head improvements out of the

DOC band.
