Milestones

Life in the Meneely family seems to be full of milestones these days. This week Jackson turned 3 months old. He is a delightfully happy, healthy baby who surprises us every day with something new (and not just in his diaper!). He is long and lean but very strong. For those of you who have seen JD's fingers, you know that they are more like "nubs" from his years of nail biting. Of course, Jackson has found that these are his favorite chew toys which is proving more painful by the day as he gets older! Next weekend, JD turns the big 3-0! He is slowly getting used to the idea of not being in his 20s. Grandpa and Grandma are going to watch Jackson so that we can party our way into his next decade! Sadly, I went back to work last week. I am slowly getting reacquainted with my job and used to the idea of not spending all day with my little man. So far, so good. Jackson seems to be enjoying daycare and I am excited to have a paycheck again - diapers are expensive!
Here are a few pictures of Jackson playing...ENJOY!

Jesus is my Homeboy

Jackson was baptized at Christ the King Catholic Church on Sunday, February 15th. A lot of people came to witness this special day. Jackson did great!
Jackson's outfit was a cream colored sweater set that Grandma was kind enough to buy for him. JD wanted him to wear a onesie that read "Jesus is my Homeboy" but I didn't let that one fly.

Jackson's godparents - Ross Klippel and Melanie Boeglin

Great-Grandparents - Bob and Bev Luker and Marvin and Jeannette Boeglin

Olecki Family - Cooper (11 months old) was busy walking all over the church. Way to go Coop!

Be Mine

Our new love made Valentine's Day extra special this year. We celebrated as a family with two heart-shaped pizzas and a family movie ("Horton Hears a Who"). Amazing how a simple night at home is so fulfilling when you have a beautiful baby to enjoy it with!

Brush-a, Brush-a, Brush-a

In this last week, Jackson has discovered his hands. He tries to shove his entire left fist in his mouth and suck on it! If we put a smaller item (such as a toothbrush) in front of him he will grab for it. Here is Jackson "brushing his teeth."
