The Journey: Jackson's Two Months Old!

It doesn't seem like it has been that long since my little dude has come into our lives, but the calendar doesn't lie...he really is two months old. We had our Dr.'s appointment and Jackson had his first set of shots. That was by far the hardest thing that I have had to endure. The worst part was when he was crying and looked at Jason and I like, "Why are you two not stopping this!" Ugh..I think I'm going to make Jason go to his 4 month appointment alone. I don't think I can go through that again.
However, we also got our new stats:
Length: 23 inches
Weight: 13 lbs 6 oz
Jason and I have gotten into the habit of betting on who can guess Jackson's weight and height. Last month I guessed right on height but was way off on weight. This month I got them both right, felt pretty good about my predictions!

Jackson is now starting to get into more of a sleeping and napping routine, more out of desperation of me wanting to get some sleep at night than anything else. He is alert a lot more during the day and loves to play when he is awake. He really likes to spend time on his play mat and Cooper often times joins in on the fun. Jackson really loves his puppy time, and thinks that Cooper is the funniest thing in the world. He is getting stronger every day and is able to spend a lot more time on his tummy without getting really really mad. We have rolled over from our front to our back a few more times, but it's still not very consistent, and recently we have been making an effort to roll from our back to our front.

Laughing at Cooper

He loves to smile and shows his smile off to everyone every chance he gets ( I think he likes our reaction to his smile the best, because we go nuts!). Jackson is filling out more and is starting to get little chubby rolls on his arms and legs, which are the cutest things ever. He has recently started to take interest in his hands and we often times find him trying to suck his thumb...not to thrilled about that, but what can you do?

Jackson is tracking a lot more too and is starting to recognize our voices. He really likes to hear Dad's voice when he comes home from work, and often times will be giving smiles before he can even see Jason. Definitely a Daddy's boy!

Smiling for Daddy

This month has been a busy one. We celebrated our first major holiday as a family. Jackson looked so cute in his little Easter suit. I always wanted one of those super cute kids in church in their very cute Easter outfit and I finally got one!

We also celebrated the Twins season opener. Jackson looked really good in his Twins outfit until he had an accident right on through it...Jason is hoping that Jackson's little blowout isn't a prediction as to how the Twins season is going to be.

So interested in the game

In addition to that Jackson made his first flight home to South Dakota. As I said in my previous post Jason's Grandma passed away from a heart attack and so we made a quick trip home to be there with the family. Jackson got to meet his Aunt and Uncle for the first time as well as his Great-Grandparents on Jason's side and a ton of cousins, Great-Aunts, Uncles and second Cousins. It was quiet the trip..Jason and I were really exhausted when we got home and are still trying to recover as well as get Jackson back on somewhat of a sleeping schedule...a lot easier said than done, but we will make it through.
