Jack Goes to the Doctor----August 28, 2008

All dressed up....and ready to go to the doctor! This is not Jack's first trip to the doctor! We went once to Lackland and then we went with Jessica while we were in San Antonio to see about Jack's tear duct. This doctor's visit was to meet his new pediatrician and to find out how well he has been growing!! As you can see, he had a very good attitude about going!!
Here is little Jack with Dr. Catherine! He loved meeting his pediatrician! They made quite the fuss over him! As soon as we walked in, a nurse named Iola came around the desk to meet us, said, "This must be Jack!!", and she took him out of his carseat.....and away she went! He was quite popular at the doctor's office!! We were glad Aunt Keri recommended her Doctor's office to us!! (She sees Doctor Yukon, and Dr. Catherine is the only other doctor in the practice!) She was so thorough with us...and spent lots of time asking us questions and giving us advice.
We took lots of time to tell her all about Jessica and the wonderful story of how Jack came to live with us! Dr. Catherine had tears in her eyes....and said that story made her birthday! We didn't know that it was her 30th birthday!! She said she would love to meet Jessica one day...and we told her she was right about that!! :) She said Jack was growing just wonderfully and gaining lots of weight! He weighed 9 lbs 5 oz!! Wow!! Won't be long until we are outgrowing some of those newborn clothes and diapers!!

When we got done with our appointment, we went back out to the waiting room where Aunt Keri and the girls were patiently waiting......(Daddy was at work today, so Aunt Keri insisted on helping us on our first day out of the house!!).....and as soon as we came into the room, the girls were already begging to have a turn holding Jack! Look at that cute Anna!!

Lizzie holds Jack like a pro!!
Is Jack smiling up at his Anna!!?
Sara Katie loves her baby Jack!
What a fun day at the doctor!! :)

I can see why Jack liked his pediatrician -- she looks so kind and caring. How sweet of the Smiths to accompany you -- what wonderful friends they are! And I have a hunch that they will babysit for you any time you want! That last picture of all the girls with Jack is too cute!
Love, Mom

Jack is growing beautifully! Don't blink - he will grow up really fast!! Keri has three beautiful daughters! I am glad that you have a caring pediatrician, those are hard to find. We were very blessed to have a wonderful pediatrician from Julia's birth until about 2 years ago when Dr. Gaw moved to California. :(

Love,
