First Christmas

It's Christmas!!! Jackson got up early not realizing it was a special day. He spent the day watching us open his gifts and hanging out with his extended family. Luckily he's still to young to be spoiled as he was the big attraction moving from one family member to the next. We also tried for round 2 with his Christmas onesie which he managed to keep clean all day.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve I tried to put on Jackson's Christmas onesie from Auntie Liki P. In Jackson fashion he had a little potty accident within an hour of me putting it on, so I threw it in the wash so he could wear it on Christmas day.:-)

Jackson's 1 Month Old!!!

Hard to believe a month has already passed. Jackson is starting to become more interactive. He now talks back when you talk to him with coos and gurgles. We had family in town for the holidays so we celebrated his 1 month birthday with cupcakes from Tart Pastry. Too bad he couldn't enjoy them.

1 Month Dr. Visit

At Jackson's 1 month check up he topped the scales at 9 lbs 3 oz and is 21 1/4 in. in length. This brings his total weight gain to 3 lbs in just 4 weeks. I now call him my little sumo wrestler as you can see from the pictures he's got a chubby chest too.:-)

Atlanta Baby Shower

I finally got some pictures to post for my baby shower in Atlanta. My best friends from undergrad threw me a shower in September to welcome baby J. A lot of my family from Atlanta and Montgomery had a chance to come down to celebrate as well as some other good friends from undergrad. Two of my friends from high school were also able to come. It was great catching up with everyone. In Texas fashion, we had a spread of Mexican food from Qdoba that was yummy!!!

Visitors

Grandma, a regular visitors, stopped by to spend some more quality time.



Nichole came by to meet little Jackson. He slept most of the time comfortably in her arms.

Jackson in His Rocker

Jackson just started using his rockers. Here he is sound asleep from the vibrations.

Auntie Kim's In Town

Kim was in town for work and came to visit with Jackson. He was excited to see her and questioned her about his future wife in her belly (see the first picture).:-)

Daddy's All Star

Here are a few pics of Daddy bonding with Baby J. He's wearing one of Daddy's favorite outfits well suited for the future baseball star.

More of Week #2 Favorite Photos

Here are some of the other photos from week 2.

Baby J's First Bottle

After our two week pediatrician visit on Monday she suggested we introduce a bottle before Baby J gets too used to nursing exclusively. Daddy gave Baby J his first bottle and he gulped it down. Now Mommy can sleep a little longer.:-)

2 Week Dr. Visit

Jackson is growing like a weed. At his two week pediatrician visit he was already 7lbs 10 oz, averaging 2 oz a day!! We will definitely have a little linebacker on our hands if he continues growing at this rate, of course Daddy would love that.

Visit from Uncle Michael

Jarvis' good friend Michael was in town for work and stopped by to see little Jackson. He was anxious to change a diaper but fortunately for him, Jackson slept the whole time.

Jackson's First Bath

We were finally able to submerge Jackson in his bath tub since his circumcision healed. Umbilical cord you ask? Well, mommy accidentally ripped that off with his t-shirt on the day we left the hospital. Of course I was panicking, but the nurse said it was fine as it must have dried up already. Jackson surprisingly loved the bath, he just looked around wondering what was going on. Bath time is definitely a two man job. One of us has to hold him while the other bathes since he is so slippery in the water.

Sound Asleep

Baby J has come to like his pack and play. After a good tip from Charletta, we bought a sleep positioner and layed Jackson in it all swaddled up. He now sleeps more soundly! Mom and dad are happy people.:-)
