10 Months

I don't believe how fast this year has gone by. It's just like you were born and we blinked and now your 2 months shy from being 1. You are getting so big. You are so much fun to be around. You have learned a lot within the past few months. You words are moma dada, dog, doggie, bye-bye, dirty. You are catching on with Where's your belly. You have touched it a few times now since this past week. You tilt your head when someone is talking to you like Abby (our dog) does it is so cute. You wave bye-bye and come here. You love going to the park with your cousin Caleb and play on the swing and in the hollow tunnels so you bang on the inside. You like the slide too but not as much.

Friday was your first time mowing the grass with your Papa. You were not happy with me when we had to go.

You love all kinds of animals. You really liked feeding all the animals on you great grandpa's farm. Nothing really seems to bother you. Even when all the cows moo when we bent down to feed them.

These have been the good times when you really interact with everything that is going on. Mommy's so excited to be spending all this time with you now, it's really a blessing on how everything works out. We love you so much

xoxo Mommy and Daddy

7 Months

Oh my. Is it really been 7 months. You have grown so fast. You have been really blooming this past month. A couple of weeks ago you really started sitting up on your own. You have been talking more and more hopefully we can announce your first word soon. I think it will be bye-bye or Dada (or maybe mama, please!!)

You love almost all baby food and whatever we're eating. Not too much of the green beans and strawberries. You just started drinking out of a sippy cup but still get kinda mixed up when going back to the bottle.

Your two bottom teeth are coming in very well.
You love to have naked time after your bath so you can stretch out and you just started sucking on you toes.
You are so cute when you smile. Your smile will stretch for miles. We love you so much and can't wait to see what you've become in the next months

Getting Ready

So we've been getting ready for Jackson's First Christmas. We are all so excited I forgot to update the blog. I really didn't think I was this far behind but man I really was. But a lot has been going on shopping mainly and helping take care of my mom, she is doing a lot better now. Jackson is getting so big. Last Tuesday was his 5 months I don't believe. He loves to stand up and loves looking and playing with the Christmas tree. He has really started playing with toys recently it's kinda like he just caught on. He is so cute. We are so excited about his first Christmas. We have got so many toys for him. I kept saying I wasn't going to make a big fuss this year because he really wouldn't understand, but yet we went out and bought all kinds of stuff. IT'S HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS!! Well here is a few pictures from last week and of his 5 months. I hope you enjoy!!




OK so let me explain this one. I came across this at Toys R Us on Friday. It's a snowman snow suit/costume. It was soooo cute and on sale so I couldn't resist. He looks so cute in it. I know he is going to kill me when he gets older ;)

3 Months

I don't believe your 3 months old. It seems like yesterday that you were born. So much as changed since you been here. You are all we ever think & talk about. Everything we do is for you. You are truly a gift to us. You light up a room where ever we go. Everyone loves & adores you. When you start to smile you get this slight squint in your eye. That's what makes me melt. You talk when spoken too. You really seem to think that your talking, the rest of the world is listening and everyone can understand you. You can hold your head up all by yourself. You can sleep through the whole night. You love looking at yourself in the mirror, you must get that from Daddy ;) You love bright colors I think red might be your favorite it catches your eye more quickly. I think Daddy would rather it be blue.

You love sucking on any pacifier or you fingers which ever is close.

You love to stick your tongue out especially when you talk

You love being outside, so many things to catch your eye

My little boxer. You always have you hands near your face. When mommy takes your hands and hits daddy or papa you laugh and laugh.

Me and your Daddy love you so much. We are so proud of how well your doing. You are truly our 'Little Stinker'

2 Month Check Up

"My Little John Deere"

So my poor baby boy had his 2 month check up and of course he had to have his 3 shots. He screamed for a little bit and is still fussy when his tylenol wears off every 5 hours but other than that he is ok.
He now weighes in at 11 lbs. and is 23 1/2 inches long. So still in the 50% in weight and 90% in height.
He's getting so big we can't believe it. He's smiling and laughing so much now. He smiles at everyone he sees. He is a very happy baby. Going back to work was ok considering I'm only working 5 hrs a day and Tuesday he came to work with me thanks to Vicky ;) cause Matt had to go into work early. Oh and as things have been going good again after the year we've had, Matt dropped off Jackson at work and on his way in a lady slammed into the back of him so between me and Matt since last August we've had 3 wrecks.

Lovely picture !!

I Don't Believe It!

We can't believe that our baby boy is one month today! It seems that in the blink of an eye things change or go by so fast. He is doing so well. We went to the doctor yesterday and he weighed in at 9 pounds and 1.5 ounces and measured at 23 inches long. He's in the 50 percentile in his weight and 100 percentile for height. The doctor said he was completely healthy and is doing great. We can tell he is starting to notice more of his surroundings now. He can hold his head up pretty good and when we put him on his belly he almost does this swim thing were he pulls his head and arms up and kicks his legs in the air. He still doesn't really like bathes much but hopefully he'll get over that soon.

We are both just so happy to be parents of a wonderful baby boy!

1 WEEK!!

I don't believe it has already been a week. I think he's changed so much. Everything is going good. I think we are getting the hang of the whole mommy & daddy thing. It's so weird how some things come so natural. We are trying to get a routine down. So far he is sleeping pretty good. Last night was ok he had a tummy ache and all he wanted was to sleep on my chest. So I nap on the couch while he was in my arms the whole night. But after all said in done it really didn't bother me. He loves his swing & bouncing seat. He doesn't like the sponge bathes. He cries so funny he starts off with his quiver lip cry and then it gets deep and he almost sounds like the evil laugh like a villain. It's so cute! This weekend we went to Great Grandma McCormick's to show off the newest addition. I was really glad that she got to see Jackson. That was my only fear that something would happen since she is so sick that she wouldn't get to see him. He has had a lot of visitors come and go and he likes the attention. He has already went out on his first shopping trip. Which he slept most of the time. But all in all we are doing great. It's so exciting. We love being parents. It's the best gift of all to have a happy, healthy, and good baby. God has truly blessed us! Oh and I'm really excited because I have lost 12 pounds so far from my before pregnancy weight yeah!! I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to get you updated.
