Crawling!

Ok, so I haven't been on here for a while but I had to get on to boast because my little boy is crawling! That's right, crawling! I just can't believe he's getting so big so fast. He is still really wobbly while he crawls but he is begining to figure out there's a whole new world out there to explore. Other updates: we are coming to UT july 3rd-10th so I hope to see all you who are still there. Also, I am having knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus (no idea how it happened) on July 17th. It sounds worse than it is because they just have to make two little insicions and recovery time is really fast, wish me luck! I will post a video of the baby crawling as soon as I can figure out how.

It's now up to about 108 degrees everyday in arizona :(

Trip to Utah

Jackson and I went to Utah a couple weeks ago. We had such a good time. We got to meet Jackson's cousin Max for the first time who is three months older than Jackson. They were fascinated by eachother. We got them all dressed up and took them to the mall to get their pictures taken together but everywhere was too busy. We set up our own little photo studio in Amanda's (my sister-in-law) bedroom and Amanda took pictures with her fancy camera. We were glad we didn't pay to have it done because it was crazy trying to get the kids to hold still for even two seconds! It was so hilarious, Max kept trying to grab Jackson's head and Jackson kept falling over and getting mad. We ended up with a few cute pictures though :)

Baby Food

Jackson has been eating solid food for about two weeks now. We started out with rice cereal and he did way better than we thought. He will grab the spoon and put it in his mouth. He now eats a variety of foods, his favorite is squash so far but we're still slowly trying new ones. I thought that by feeding him solid food he wouldn't want to nurse so much but he still does. It seems like this kid is growing so fast I don't even recognize him, I can almost watch him grow.

4 Month Photo Shoot

Jackson had his first official photo shoot a couple weeks ago. We went to JC Pennys because I had a coupon. We got there right on time but we had to wait 30 minutes! For those of you who have children, you know that their "happy time" is very limited. Fortunately he loved the photographer. We got a full 15 minutes of "happy time" from him and he even let us change his outfit without putting up too much of a fuss.

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!
