Jacksons 14 weeks old!

Jackson is growing so fast! He's started to grab things and put them in his mouth. He is also teething right now, lucky us! Supposedly he is now suppose to start teething until he is at least 4 months old but all the signs are there: he's druling uncontrolably, he is fussy a lot at night, and he has two little tooth buds at the bottom of his mouth. Other than that he is doing great! He sleeps through the night, not consistantly yet but we're still working on it. He is such a joy to me and his Daddy and we love him so much.

Jackson's blessing outfit

Here are the pictures of Jackson's blessing outfit I promised. It's a white Ralph Lauren sleeper with his initials monogrammed on it. His Grandma Powers bought it for him and I loved it! She did such a good job picking it out. It only came in a size six months but it fit him at six weeks! He has now grown out of it but I will save it forever!

I Can't Believe How Big He's Getting!

Jackson just went for his two month exam last week. He now weighs 13 lbs 6 oz and he's 23 in long! I can't keep up with how fast he's growing out of his clothes! He is now wearing 3-6 month clothes and even some 6 month outfits! He wasn't very happy to get his shots. The poor guy had a fever for two days and his legs were in pain because he screamed every time we touched them. Other than that, he's doing really good. He has started sleeping through the night on occasion. I can't wait until he's doing that consistantly! We love him so much, he's been such a blessing to us and the rest of our family.

Jackson's Blessing

Cody blessed Jackson today. It was a very special day. Jackson had his Grandpa and Great Grandpa Dale and uncles Kevin and Scott and friend Jeff there in the circle with him. He screamed the entire time! We could barely hear what Cody was saying but I was still bawling like a baby. Then we went to Keri's for a big family dinner. There, Cody's dad gave his mom a special blessing because she will be going in for heart surgery on tuesday. She is in our thoughts and prayers right now and we love her so much. Jackson is very lucky to have such a wonderful grandmother and she absolutely adores him. Pictures of him in his blessing outfit will be coming soon.

Loving being Mommy

Jackson and I are doing well. We are figuring out a routine and trying to get as much sleep as we can. I never knew being a Mom would be this hard but it's so worth it. Jackson is a VERY happy baby, as long as he stays full. He's meeting all his milestones, he follows things with his eyes, he's starting to find his voice and he delights us with his precious smiles.

Here's the picture that they took at the hospital. Jackson just went to the doctor's yesterday, he's gained 6 oz and all his jaundice is gone! He's doing really good, he LOVES to eat and he is just anxiously waiting for his Aunt Melanye to come visit tonight!
