One development that did occur is that the doctor determined that Jack has plagiocephaly. That's a fancy term for a "flat head". His head is flat in the back and on one side, so we were referred to a cranial specialist. After the consultation they recommended that he wear a cranial band (a.k.a helmet) to correct the bone growth. He'll most likely only have to wear it for 7-8 weeks, so that's not too bad. The bad news is that the place we went is not covered by our insurance. The band is $3800, so we have done some research and luckily found another place in Dallas that does this. They, thankfully, are covered by our insurance company. I called to check it out with the pedi today and got a referral letter for the new place. Hopefully we can get in to see them the first week in January.
Jack is eating solids now! He has had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash. I think we'll try green beans tomorrow. He loves eating from a spoon! It's so cute because he just sucks on the spoon until it's empty.
He is smiling like crazy and "talking" all the time. Tim asks him if he wants to see Callie, and Jack just smiles and laughs. It is the cutest thing ever!
Here are some of his pictures from this month:
