Happy Halloween!

My mom working hard on Jackson's turtle costume.

The finished product...our little turtle!

That is the sweetest turtle I've ever seen. :)

My Little Pumpkin

My little pumpkin is seven weeks old today! Can you believe it? I am having so much fun getting to know him and his little personality shows more and more each day. He is such a joy and I am truly thankful.

Photo Shoot

Six Weeks Old

Yes, Jackson STILL has his cord at six weeks old! I think we are going for a record. When it falls of and he can have a real bath we will be thrilled! (I just hope that is before kindergarten!)

Aunt Sarah came to visit and was helping Jackson sit on the couch.

I love this picture because it captures the moment that Jackson was able to focus on his zebra for the first time. His reaction was priceless!

What a big boy!

We had a six week photo shoot with All Heart Photography. I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures! Here's a teaser.

Our Family

1 Month Old!

Yes, he STILL has his cord...

we CAN'T wait for it to fall off so we can he can have his first "real" bath!

I love those big blue eyes! :)

He is beginning to focus on his toys, it is so much fun to watch him see things for the first time.

Grissom the babysitter

I cannot believe our precious boy is one month old today! He is growing and changing each day. He is so strong and is able to hold his head up more and more each day. A few days ago he rolled over twice! His grunts, squeaks, smiles and laughs are the sweetest things I have ever seen or heard.

So far some things we have learned about him are...

He loves to: eat (all the time!), take baths, be held, go on walks, be outside, and be read and sang to.

He does not like to: lay on his back, get dressed, have his diaper changed, be left alone, or sleep anywhere but in his Mommy's arms (we are working on this one).

He has been extra fussy for the past week. I have cut dairy from my diet and the doctor has started him on medicine for reflux. Please pray that he feels better soon (and cross your fingers that it's not colic).
