This is his ultra cool pose - He's thinking 'What??'
This is more of a confused look like 'why do you have to take SO many pictures? Enough already mom!' And notice that hair do!! The mohawk is courtesy of dad, the man who does not believe in brushing hair.
And finally for the fully body shot with his collar popped and his socks from Aunt Lisha!! What a stud!
Just over a year ago our small group was the self proclaimed "child free" small group, fast forward one year later and we are apparently a baby factory. Forget a nice quiet Bible study and dinner, it's 24/7 child wrangling. Max is 14 months old, Emma is 8 months old, and Jackson is 2 1/2 months old! We started having them and I am sure we are not done. We'll see how full we can get. This picture is awesome, but even better was the look Jackson was giving Emma earlier in the night. She had a bottle and he was jealous! We all know how he loves to eat (like his mama) and he was trying to sweet talk her into sharing. She was not having any of it. She kept it all to herself. Last night was the first time all the kids were together and it was fun, noisy and busy, but fun. I will keep you posted on any new additions as I am sure we will be adding more!
He wore shoes for the first time today to church! Thanks for the shoes Aunt Denise and for the outfit Laura S!! He was a stud! He also went to the nursery at church for the first time today and tricked them into feeding him early. He loves to eat and he's no fool!
And in the biggest news of all he slept all night last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup. We fed him at 11:00 and when he started fussing to eat again I looked at the clock and it said 5:00 a.m. I couldn't believe my eyes!! I was so excited. Now we are crossing our fingers he does it again, but I am not holding my breathe.
He starts day care tomorrow. Matt is going with me to drop him off and get all the details. I have put his name or initials on everything that stands still. I am wondering if I should sharpie his name on him. Maybe on his bottom like a cabbage patch kid. We would really like to find a nanny to stay at home with him. Any suggestions out there? We thought about maybe one from the Ukraine :)
It's Friday and you know what that means!! Not only is it Fratty Friday, but it is Papa's (Who Jackson is named after) birthday! So Happy Birthday POPS!! We love you!!
Nana could not have been happier and Jackson looked like he was enjoying it too!!
Grant (Matt's youngest cousin) was GREAT with him!! He fed him, and even burped him. Now if we can get him to change diapers we'll be in god shape. FYI - He is growing his hair out for the 3rd time to have it cut for locks of love. He is such a sweet heart. How many 7th grade boys would do that?
This was the final picture we went with. The ceiling fan was on so Jackson was glued to it.
Look at that face!!
Daddy and son!
This was Saturday afternoon when we took Jackson to shop. Look how much stuff we had to take along. I only wish I had taken a picture of all the luggage we took for the weekend.
My Aunt Teresa, Uncle Bo, Carrie, and her fiance Rory came to meet Jackson while we were in town since they live in Bham too. Aunt Teresa didn't let anyone else hold Jackson, I think she liked him a little.
Look at that yawn! He was slipping into his milk comma.
And this is my new favorite picture of him!!!!! SO cute.
Matt took him out of his bouncer on the table after we finished eating and he sat there like a big boy!
In other news Jackson ate at 1:00 a.m. and did not eat again until 6:00 a.m. I wish I could report that he slept the entire time, but he didn't. The good news though is that he is on track to eat less at night and hopefully in turn sleep more. Or at least that is what I am telling myself.
That is a 3 month outfit I put on him this morning!! Can you believe it? He was looking at the ceiling fan. He loves watching it spin. And look at that double chin in the picture below. Is that not the cutest double chin you have ever seen!!!
In other news we are making our first road trip with him this weekend. We are packing it up to go meet his Nana and Papa!! Say a prayer for us, but I am betting he will do great. We'll feed him, stick him in his car seat, and take off. The hard part will be remembering to pack everything he needs while we are gone. I can see us trading the Tahoe in soon for a Suburban!!
Matt in his swing and Jackson in his swing, but can you tell who is who?????
Nakie Jackson!! That belly is to die for!!
And the close up.... SO SWEET!!!
Jackson is 7 weeks old today and continues to change every day! It is so much fun to watch him progress and hit milestones. He is so alert! He'll smile at you and follow your face. I love coming home to him at night! 
Other than being fed Jackson slept through most of it. He is a narcoleptic like his mama. And check out that golf outfit. You will be seeing it repeated on Fratty Friday. It is also a 3 month outfit!!!!
And here is a family pictures. Again Jackson was asleep!
This is the picture of me before I left for my first day back at work. I wanted to take it with Jackson, but he was sleeping and you don't mess with a sleeping baby! My first day went well mainly because I knew Jackson was at home with Gran and Paw. Of course he did great, better than mama. I am loving my office's flex time. I can get into work at 7:30, leave by 4:30 and be home by straight up 5:00 most days to feed the little man. What this picture does not show was all the bags I left the house with. I had a purse, pump bag, a computer bag, and a lunch/snack box. I looked like a bag lady and that did not include the diaper bag and car seat I will be leaving the house with when Jackson starts day care. I will have to get up 15 min earlier to get it all in the car. I might even need a suburban to get it all packed in.
