Naked Time

Jackson loves to be naked. In fact, if he is crying all we have to do is undress him and his face lights up. We gave him some special "naked time" before bed - like father, like son!

Poo Poo Train

JD has made a game out of unloading the Diaper Genie (which we have to do every other day). Here he is with Jackson's "poo poo train." Toot toot!

Multitasking

As many of you already know, being a mom is hard work and, unfortunately, the show must go on...by the show I mean the cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. So Jackson and I have learned to multitask. I had to get my laundry upstairs somehow!

High School Reunion

My friend Angela Fonyuy was in from California last week so we decided to get some of the old gang back together (plus our new additions!). The picture below from left to right...me with Jackson, Angela, Amanda McDowell with her daughter Madelynn, Jill Olecki with her son Cooper and Sarah Furry with her son Lincoln. We had a lot of fun catching up!

Ch- Ch- Ch- Ch- Changes

We took a picture of Jackson with his bear the day we brought him home from the hospital. It is amazing to see how much he has changed since then. He is 8 weeks and 1 day old today. He eats like a champ, likes to watch the world around him and loves his mommy and daddy. Last night, he slept through the night (from 10:30 pm - 5:30 am when I woke him up because I was in pain!). Everyone told me that they grow up so fast - now I know what they mean!

Wardrobe Changes

Jackson is growing like a weed which means he gets to sport all of the cool outfits people have given to him. JD's family from Florida gave him this onesie that reads "I still live with my parents." In case anyone was wondering, this statement will still be true when he is 30...I am never letting him leave!

We were changing Jackson's outfit after a rather unpleasant "blowout" (as JD likes to call it) and the onesie got stuck. He looks like Shrek - minus the green!
Jackson wore his first big boy outfit today - a hoodie, jeans and tennis shoes. We were thrilled to find shoes that fit his monkey feet. His toes are long but his feet are narrow which means no socks stay on and shoe buying is nearly impossible.

Who's Your Daddy?

When Jackson was born I received a hilarious email from my friend and former roommate, Alissa Wetzel. Alissa was shocked to learn that Jackson was 21 inches long at birth. She googled it and discovered that 21 inches was average. Given JD and I's height she advised me that I should reveal Jackson's true paternity to the world. Well Alissa...the plot thickens. Jackson had his two-month appointment today (even though he is just 7 weeks old) and here are his stats...

Weight 10 lbs 3 oz (25th percentile)

Head Circumference 15 inches (25th percentile)

Length 23.5 inches (80th percentile)
