4 Months

(Ryan's favorite)

(My favorite)

Jackson is 4 months old!!

On his 4 month-iversary Jackson finally rolled over all the way! Now he is a little roly poly. He is sure growing fast.



Some interesting facts:

--He not only grabs at his toys, but he can also play with them, turn them around, put them in his mouth, etc.

--He loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse and Yo Gabba Gabba.

--Jackson is now ticklish. We tickle him and he laughs--a real live belly laugh. (video to come)

--We have to put socks on his hands when he sleeps because he is really into scratching lately. He will scratch our arm/hand when we are putting him to sleep. He also scratches the side of his face, behind his head, or his ears.

--He smiles in the tub now. He also likes to kick his legs and splash around.

--Nicknames include Baby, Little One, Bubba (much to Ryan's dismay), and Bubsey. We really only call him Jackson when we are trying to get him to stop crying.

Jackson is getting to be so much fun lately. He is playing more and laughs a lot. He can also entertain himself, which is nice! I will update his 4 months stats when he goes to the doctor next week.

He likes to fold his arms now...this is right after bath time.

It almost looks like he has a towel on his head.

He rolled over while I was changing his outfit, the little stinker.

Hi!

Hi! My name is Jackson!

I like to sleep and eat and play!

I also like to pull my Mommy's hair! See!

I really like to cuddle.

Sometimes my parents like to torture me, but that's okay...I think.

I also really like my Ducky. My Great-Grandma gave it to me! Thanks Great-Grandma Merrie!

It kinda has weird arms...

That can fly!

Vroom!

We're friends.

Hehe.

And do you remember Tiger? We are still friends.

Uh oh! I gotta go! Mommy says it's bath time!

Bye!

Love

I love this picture of my two boys.

Don't you?

Just Because

What we do on Friday nights...



We love it!

Funny Feet

Jackson is so funny. He loves his pajama onesies that have animals on his feet. He stares at them and tries to grab them. Little does he know that they are actually his feet and that HE'S the one moving them. They make him so happy--especially the dinosaur ones! Cute kid.

3 Months

Baby is officially 3 months old! I couldn't decide which picture I liked better, so I put both up.

Interesting facts about the little kiddo:

--Jackson is now wearing 6 month clothes.

--He loves his jungle bouncer.

--He is now sleeping in his crib. He wakes up more at night because of it. Hopefully he will adjust soon!

--He reaches after his toys.

--He is sometimes goofy, especially when his daddy is around. I love seeing his little personality emerge!

--Jackson is still a big cuddler.

--The kitty snuggled Jackson for the first time the other day. She put her head on his leg. They are going to be the best of friends, I just know it!

Sleepy

Goofy

I went back to work a couple weeks ago. It's hard because I'm not home to put my little boy to bed. Hopefully in a couple months I'll be able to change my shifts around so I can come home earlier. Ryan is a great dad and takes good care of the baby while I'm gone!

King of the Jungle

Lions and tigers and giraffes, Oh my!

Jackson had quite the fight this morning. He had to prove to his stuffed tiger that he was, in fact, the king of the jungle. I caught some footage of the (not so) bloody battle.

"Tiger says HE'S the King of the Jungle!"

"I will show him!"

"Roar!"

"Take this!"

"And take that!"

"And then I will bite you." (I had to tell Jackson that was a little too Mike Tyson-ish.)

"Tiger surrendered."

Presenting...the King of the Jungle!

All tuckered out, poor little guy. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he wasn't actually holding his bottle.
