New Pics

Hello everyone! time gets away from me really fast these days but I have a reward of pictures for everyone who has waited.

Here is little man at four months. He is totally happy to see grandma!

and here he is at about 5 months ( a little early but these were just taken the other day. I cant get over how cute argyle is on babies!

I must have been making a funny face at him in this one because he is cracking up!

Here is our first trip to the zoo!! As with every other family on the first sunny day of the year we headed out to the zoo. For some reason we thought it would not be crowed! boy were we wrong. no parking, long line to get in and for any type of food. But all in all it was a great day. Jackson loved people watching and looking at the animals when he was not napping. we will absolutely be headed back many times this summer.Jackson has started eating solid foods and so far he likes his rice cereal, is okay with apple sauce and loves the pureed peas mommy made for him last night. I must say they were pretty tasty.

Time Flies...

Okay I know i have not been very good about updating so here it goes. February was spent moving into our new house which we love. The packing, move, and unpacking have take up much of our time over the past month and I am so happy we are done. I am never moving again. People will have to come drag me out of this house. Jackson in the mean time has grown up and it makes me sad! he has turned into a little man and not a crying newborn. He always has lots of smiles and loves to talk to anyone that wants to start a conversation. although very demanding when he is hungry or sleepy other than that he might be the best kid in the world. but I am his mom so I have to say that. Here are some pics that show how much he has grown.

1 Day old

1 month

2 months

3 months

He is getting very good at lifting up his head and he loves to look around and find out what is going on around him. I am teaching him to kick in the bath tub which I am sure I will regret later but he gets so excited when he does it. the next thing is "splash" once he gets coordinated with his hands. I started back to work this week which has been nice to come back to the real world although I miss Jackson much more than I thought I would. the good thing is that his daycare is only a 5-10 min drive from the house so I can stop in whenever I need a baby fix. I want to say life is starting to get back to normal again. whatever normal means anymore. so many changes have happened in the last year I cant remember anything but what we are doing now. My next project is planning some vacations since i don't think we have been on one for quite some time so I am off to the Internet for some ideas!

1 month and counting

hi everyone, we have reached the one month mark with little Jackson in our lives and here are somethings that have changed:

i now dress according to whether or not it is easy to wash if it happens to get milk or throw up on it.

there is excessive cheering for poops, burps, and farts. (there was some cheering before only if they were really good ones)

getting ready to leave the house takes about 1.5 hours (start to finish for Jackson and I. I timed it yesterday)

sleeping for four hours in your own bed is amazing! kicks sleeping upright on the couches ass!

you learn that you love to kiss baby cheeks excessivly

you turn into a grooming monkey.lots of wiping, picking, and inspecting, especially under those double chins.

i can type with one hand now!

so far Jackson has been great. we have our off days for sure but we are still getting to know each other. things that used to stress us out before are not that serious now. his one month birthday happens to be my 29th birhtday and his present to me was a big spit up on my shirt. I am not mad though he does not have a way to get to the store that was all he could give:-)

In addition to having this new person in our lives we just bought a new house and will be moving again. I think moving 3 times in 5 Months is my limit. so hopefully we will be in this house until I am old and cranky.

For your viewing pleasure here is Jackson at birth and at one month.
