A fellow fetal surgery mom put together a video with 150+ fellow fetal surgery moms and kiddos. Maverick and I appear around the 6:30 mark.

While this is not a journey anyone asks to go on, it helps to have great support structures once you're on it. These families make up a facebook group that is a fantastic place to ping and get understanding and help from!

Getting so big!
Time flies by, as evidenced by Maverick turning 6 months old a couple weeks ago. He's definitely gone past the premie little boy and become the chunkiest kiddo out of all 3 boys. His doctor suggested we start solids and get him eating in a high chair (hopefully to help him work on his core muscles some more). We started with oatmeal and the response was initially excited and then "meh" on the actual food.
Apples was next on the menu and those ones were gobbled up :)

Family of 5
We had family pictures taken over the weekend and I may be biased but my kiddos are pretty stinking cute :)

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 :)
