Jackson is 4 months!


Where does the time go??? I am so sad to see my little baby boy not so little anymore! But on the flip side, we're having lots of fun getting Jackson to laugh and Isabella is enjoying the fact that he is starting to grab on to toys that she offers him.

Jackson is finally starting to grow back his hair... but it is slow going. Not sure what color it will be- sometimes it looks like it might be a darker brown then sometimes (if the light is right) it looks like it has a red tint to it. Who knows!

I weighed Jackson today & he is at 17lbs! Wow- he's a big boy!! He is 26" in legnth. (At 4 months & 2 weeks Isabella was 16lb 9oz & 27".)

We've started our bedtime routine with Jackson (nursing, bath, lotion, books, songs, bed) & his favorite part (besides the nursing!) is the bath. He gets his little legs kicking & his arms flapping, splashing water everywhere!

Jackson has started knawing on his fingers this month... not sure if he is teething or just discovering his hands. We shall see.

The Just Between Friends consignment sale that we love was just this past week. I love to shop early & have to volunteer in order to do so. That means Daddy has had the task of taking care of the 2 kiddos while mommy has been away on her two 3-hour shifts & 1 4.5-hour shopping trip. Jackson did well taking his bottle of breast milk (yay! something Isabella never would do!) & Daddy survived without me (& did a good job managing both of them!). And I was able to get a lot of great deals on some super cute clothes for the fall/winter season for both Jackson & Isabella.

Next up- getting Jackson to sleep in his crib instead of the swing. Wish us (or me) luck!

LOVE that top, left picture of Jackson. He's such a pretty, happy baby! He is growing up way to fast, though!

I was there, Leah! I shopped early at 1pm on sunday... when did you shop? (I did shop in 4T for Isabella though b/c she is almost too big for 3T!)
