Jackson's First Halloween

Jackson had a blast for his first Halloween. But was tired shortly after it began. We first stopped by Mama & Papa's , which we do every night since mom broke her leg. He tried to get a short nap while mommy messed with her new camera.

We went to Hank & Lana's where he helped pass out candy and got rubber ducks for the tub and his first sucker. He loved it!!

Then we stopped by Shawne's house for a visit by then he was really tired.

Then we visited Grandma Carrie, Kayla, & Mikal. Then he was really really tired. Was there long enough to take some scary pictures.

But we had fun that night. I can't wait till next year when he can understand it better. But it was fun cause' Mommy & Daddy got all the candy!!

4 Month Check Up

So this morning I took Jackson to his 4 month check up. Daddy had to miss out on another round of shots because he worked until 6am. But Jackson did great he only cried when she stuck him and stopped when I picked him up.

Our little boy weighed in at:

13 pounds 5 oz (35 percentile)

and 26 inches long (95 percentile)

So on average since he's been born he has gained 1 lb a month and grew an inch a month. Dr. F said that he will be tall and skinny. Basketball player??

Every check up he has had has been 50th percentile in weight and 95-100th percentile in height. He is staying pretty steady. He has been doing great. His new thing is that he likes paper. He loves to smack it and grab it. It's crazy what they find fun. They find the simple pleasures out of life. But on the other hand we find it just as entertaining watching them play with simple things. Tomorrow we are going Trick or Treating around some families houses, to show off our little stinker. Hopefully my new camera (anniversary present from my wonderful husband!) will come in tomorrow so I can take some great shots of his first Halloween.

Four Months

Already 4 months old. I just can't believe it. I look back at some pictures and see how much you've grown.You get more adorable everyday.

You remind me of your daddy so much. Which is a good thing. You can do so much now. Just the other day you finally rolled over, for daddy, then me. You love to find anything you can pull yourself up on. You love sitting at the table with me while I eat and try to grab my plate and smack the table. Cute now but won't be cute later. You love peek- a- boo.

You can sleep anywhere and very well I can put you to sleep and you can be out for 12 hours straight.You love sitting up. Every chance we get we sit you up. I think you will be doing it on your own for too much longer.

You love to be on the go. You love car rides.
You love getting attention but don't cry for it. You are always smiling, laughing and trying to talk.
When you and your buddy Nolan get together you talk to each other in some kind of secret language. It's so cute. I love watching you and daddy play together. It so cute how you interact with him. You seem so mesmerised by him.
We are so happy that you are apart of our family

Mommy & Daddy Love You xoxox

Our Happenings

So we've had a lot going on in resent weeks. But still no excuse to update. Jackson is getting so big. I don't believe how quick he is growing. He now tries to sit up by himself. He pulls himself up on anything he can grab. He tries to get out of his car seat all the time. He hasn't rolled over yet, but boy does he move around a lot. He is staying awake a lot more. And he is looking more and more like Matt everyday. He giggles a whole lot especially when daddy laughs at him. This past weekend we went to Harvest everyday Jackson had a blast he got so much attention. Saturday we entered him into the costume contest and got 3rd Place! My little stinker.

Last Tuesday we went to Huber's for Ashlyn's 5th Birthday. I got a good chance to take some fall pictures with his little man hat. I love this hat on him. Everyone comes up to him and ask me where I got it at. I think he looks adorable. Right after this shot he slid down the pumpkin on to the ground. It scared him a little until Mommy picked him up.





2 weekends ago we had my cousin Kasey's Birthday party at our house. We all had a blast and Jackson loved getting passed around.

Next weekend Jackson will be 4 months. I don't believe it. My cousin is getting married this Saturday so we will be spending most of the week up in Cincinnati. I'm sure I will have plenty of pictures next weekend.

Still Here

Ok so I noticed that I haven't blogged lately. It's like we've been busy but nothing seems to come to mind. The only important things I can think of is Saturday we had his 3 month pictures done. They turned out better than his newborn. What can I say he's perfect. Sunday we went to church and then the whole gang went to the Madison Chautauqua. We all had a blast. We got Jackson a snow hat and a tag blanket he loves it. Jackson is interacting more and more everyday. He laughs at the dogs all the time I can point out his pictures and he recognizes his face. He is getting more handsome everyday. He's still sleeping through the night. It doesn't seem like he's getting real big to me he's still skinny & long. But he is really starting to look like a little man.
