All About Jackson

In case you were wondering what Jackson has been up to lately let me fill you in. Here are a few things about him you may not know.
His favorite things to smile at: Daddy, the Baby Eienstien play mat, and the ceiling fan. (We are working on smiling a momma but she's not near as funny as these other things, except when she sticks her tongue out then she's funny)

His favorite thing to look at: the bright orange basketball nighlight in his room (thanks Fran and Flip) He is amazed by it and it is usually the first thing we take him to when he is crying because he loves it!

My favorite new thing he does: His high pitched squeals when he is smiling. Oh wow...it really will melt your heart.

His biggest milestone: He just slept through the night! Yeah!!!! Ok well is was from 1:30am until 7:00am but for him that is definately through the night. Praise the Lord! That is the longest stretch of sleep time we have had and are so thankful for it.

New trick: When I catch him at the right time of day and stick my tongue out at him he will try smile and do it too. So precious! I got an email from a baby website saying that around this time they will try to mimic some of your actions and so to try to stick your tongue out at them and watch them try it too. Thats mom's new favorite game. So much fun!

Wow, can a 7 week old really be this cool? Guess so. He is just growing like crazy and is almost unable to fit into some of his onsies. He seems to keep getting longer and his cheeks keep getting chubbier. I have started seeing some leg muscles (probably from all the kicking because of gas). He is just such a blessing and we are thrilled he is doing so well.
