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!

Have you ever seen a smile so precious!?!

Happy Halloween!

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).
