Jumper

Noah's cousin Hunter highly recommended getting a jumper - it was one of his most favorite things to play with when he was "younger". We just recently put the jumper up and Noah gave it a whirl. He is not "jumping" in it yet but enjoys hanging out and spinning around while Mama and Daddy cook dinner.

Owen always liked to run as far as he could in it, hang out as long as his legs could handle it then spring back to center... more bungee than jumping :) Looks like fun!

Hunter says, "Noah, get lots of practice in that jumper. It's great for leg muscles. Now I can run fast away from my mama. Then, we can go hide in one of Nana's closets...they'll never find us!"

I have a feeling Noah will be jumping before you know it. We didn't have one of these for Avery and Evan, but I know my cousin loved it for her son. If we can figure out a good doorway, perhaps a jumper will be in our house this time around. It looks like fun!

That looks like a lot of fun, Cousin. I think I'll tell my parents to get me one of those once I get a bit older.

The Story

Our son, Noah Stone Jackson, was born with a very rare genetic disorder called Fraser syndrome. Among his many challenges are one “hidden eye”, a narrow trachea (which required him to have a tracheotomy), an imperforate anus (which required a colostomy), difficulty swallowing (which required a G-Tube for feedings), the fusing of his vocal chords (which means he may never speak), and club feet (which are being corrected with braces). Our family is on an amazing journey together. We are learning to walk along this path that God has planned for us, trusting in His infinite love and wisdom. We are taking each day (or each moment) as it comes and relying on each other, our friends and family, and our God for strength. We have a long road ahead of us filled with several more surgeries, lots of recovery, countless hours of therapy, and many trips to specialists around the state. Every day brings us challenges but they pale in comparison to the smiles and cuddles from our little man. Noah is our son, a true gift from God, and we cannot wait to see where this adventure leads.
