Re: Update on Jaden

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy

I do think he had a little growthspurt there. Good deal. Keeping

my fingers crossed for many more. Next time you go for an

adjustment do me a favor and ask them about the measurements. I'm

thinking I was off at 4mms. He looks as if it is more than that.

(before anyway).
