WOW! We had a truly amazing weekend---we picked up Jackson's new HKAFOs on Friday in New Orleans, when we first put them on, he was not so happy about them; but once we got him home and in them again, he was in LOVE! To see him stand is simply amazing---me, my mom, and Jon's mom have all shed happy tears! He is such a big boy---last night Jon and I measured him and he is 28 inches tall! It is a true milestone, that just 18 months after we brought him home from the hospital, he is STANDING!!! On Saturday, my mom and I went to Babies R Us and got him an Elmo table just right for standing and playing with his toys on in his new braces----now when he wants to stand at the table, which is almost every waking hour, he cries "Elmoooo"---it is so cute and so pitiful at the same time! We are working on learning to weight shift and use our walker, I know it won't be long until I am chasing him through Wal-Mart or Whole Foods and I can't wait!
Tonight, I have a prayer request from all. Many of you know our good friend Braden (Dog from our Halloween post), well, he is in the hospital and has been for over a week with respiratory issues. Please pray for him and his mom and dad, they are going through a kind of rough time right now.
Thanks for checking in on us,

That's so awesome he is standing! Congrats on your big accomplishment and prayers for Braden!
He is SO BIG! I love him in his standing braces... he gets to act just like a "normal" kid:-)
He certainly has a "normal kid" attitude!! :-) Love that Jack-Jack.
