Tiger Scout!

Jaxon joined Cub Scouts this year and is officially a tiger scout 😀



It's only just started but he seems to enjoy it. The only fundraiser they do is selling popcorn which began yesterday. We spent some time at the local grocery store yesterday and even in that 90 minutes, it's great to see his confidence go up in talking to people.

Best Season

I just love football season, in particular Iowa Hawkeyes and the Vikings. I like to pass on that love to the boys and start with appropriate clothes on game day and teaching them to cheer!!

4 months old!

Today Maverick is 4 months old and I did a little comparison to his brothers....

Mav - 17 lbs 3 oz and 24.2" long



Jaeger - 16 lbs 13 oz and 25.5" long




Jaxon - 16 lbs 3 oz and 26.25" long




It's a little mind blowing to think that although Maverick was more than 3 lbs lighter than Jaxon at birth, he is the heaviest out of all 3 at 4 months! And yes they are all mini Joshes :)

Rolls for breakfast?

Maverick has got some chunk and I just love it! Such a cute kissable smooshy face and cheeks:)

Generations

There are now 7 grandchildren on the Roos side - and it's impossible to get a good pic of them all!

Okoboji Fun

We spent last weekend in Okoboji and had such fun with family, including new baby Owen! The 6 hour drive wasn't too bad as maverick slept the whole time and we just stopped for gas and food for all!

First clinic day

Maverick had his first all day spina bifida clinic a couple weeks ago (I know, I'm very late in posting this). The day started at 8 am and ended around 2 where we hung out in an exam room and the various specialists rounded throughout the day. He also had a brain MRI done to monitor ventricle growth. From neuro perspective, all is good right now. He had a CMG done back in June and we reviewed the results with the urologist. This test measures bladder pressure while it fills up. His bladder is essentially small and doesn't stretch much so he's now on some medicine that will help relax the bladder to let it fill up more. Well repeat the CMG in December and evaluate how the med is working. He also saw ortho and various therapists. They gave us some exercises to help strengthen his neck muscles and stretch out his right foot. But all things considered with SB and premie, he's doing great! Well go back for our next clinic day in September (except urology who we don't see until December!).
