November Highlights

It's hard to believe it's almost December, time is going by so quickly. Here are some pictures from November.

Jackson loves to play on his play mat.

Jackson went to church for the first time this month! Here's a picture of Jackson and Daniel before we left for church. Since it's flu season we heeded our pediatrician's advice to avoid large crowds for the first two months. (As you can see from the photo, he was thrilled to finally get to go to church.) He was very well behaved, we were quite impressed.

Jackson's first Thanksgiving. Daniel and I have so much to be thankful for this year!(Thanksgiving was a busy day for us and I think it wore Jackson out.)

Okay this is definitely not from this month, but it's the "before" picture for the photo below.

This is the "after" picture for our belly shot. This is my cousin Ariel and Jackson's cousin Lydia.

This was Jackson's introduction to his bumbo seat. He doesn't quite have the head control to sit in it unassisted, but he's getting close. What a big boy!


Jackson "helped" me decorate our Christmas tree. He loved watching the lights and looking at the ornaments. Here's a picture of him "dancing" to the Christmas music.

2 months old!

I cannot believe that my sweet baby boy is two months old! He has grown and changed so much. He is so much fun and as you can see from the pictures below he has the sweetest smile in the world (I may be a bit biased).

Oh, HUGE news....(drum roll please)...Jackson's cord fell off last night. Yes, that's right at almost nine weeks old we can officially have our first REAL bath. (We were beginning to think Jackson was trying to set a record.) You would think we've won the lottery, we can't wait. (Jackson and I are waiting on Daddy to get home as we speak so we can begin the festivities.)

Jackson had his two month check up today and he has grown so much! Last month he was 9 pounds 4 ounces and 22 inches long. This month he is 12 pounds 4 ounces and 23.25 inches long. He has been sleeping anywhere from seven to twelve hours a night...what a blessing!

My sweet Jackson,

I look at you and melt every time and now that you have began "talking" and smiling I could stay in my pajamas and play with you all day (and sometimes I do). You are such a blessing to us. You are like a little ball of sunshine and I couldn't imagine my life without you. God is so good and I am so grateful that he has chosen me to be your mommy...you are my greatest adventure.

All my love.

Look how much he's grown!
