Jackson is a month... already!

It is hard to believe that Jackson is already a month old! And he already seems to have grown so much! It is sad to see him not so teeny tiny anymore but exciting to see him grow & develop a personality. He is a good baby who is mostly content & laid back. He does super well in the car (as long as he isn't hungry!) & will go to sleep when the car is moving. He caught on really well to nursing & is doing really well with that. He gained a pound in 2.5 weeks (weighed 8lb 10oz at our 2 wk check-up) & grew 1.75" (measured in at 21.75" at the doctor visit... might not have had a truly accurate measurement at birth unless he is just growing like a weed!). He wakes about every 2-2.5 hrs at night to nurse which is rough sometimes but it will get better!

3 weeks old (he is a very smiley baby for being so young!)

4 weeks old

This is how Jackson sleeps best... all swaddled up!

I made a point to introduce the bottle (with breast milk of course) to Jackson at just a few weeks old instead of waiting until he was several months old like we did with Isabella (who never would take a bottle). So far, Jackson takes it without any problems & Isabella has even got to help out with feeding him which she really enjoys. She asks me to pump some milk so she can feed Jackson. :)
