The Mom Journey: Little Jack

Little Jack, at least that's the nickname Jackson has gotten from his Daddy and Grandad. Jackson's Grandad, my dad, has always been called Big Jack. Sometimes we call him LJ but I still usually call him Jackson. So now we have MG and LJ...that is too funny.

Happy 3 month old birthday to my baby boy! The last three months have been a whirlwind of excitement. Jackson has grown so much since his 1 month checkup. He doesn't go back to the doctor until 4 months so I will update more stats then, but I do know that he already weighs 15 pounds! Not bad, not bad at all. :-) Jackson is getting so strong these days, he can stand up for a good 5 minutes now. He coos a lot, especially in the evening times, and he is a big smiler. We had his reflux prescription increased a little over a month ago and instantly saw an improvement in his mood. He is such a happy baby and sleeps through the night. He has his last feeding around 10:30 pm and usually wakes up for his next feeding around 5:30 am. Our family has already settled into a routine, but are always prepared to roll with the punches or whatever the day may bring.

Here are some stats on Jackson...
Weight: 15 pounds
Clothes: 3-6 months, and occasionally 6-9 months depending on the designer
Words (haha): a lot of cooing, sounds like oonga, mama, and un. So now I'm thinking & hoping 'Momma' will be his first word!
Favorite toy: toy octopus & possibly my hair which he grabs a hold of quite frequently
Favorite Food: Milk of course...We will be trying rice cereal when Jackson is 4 or 5 months old. That is always a fun time.

Also, just in case you haven't figured this out, we are completely spoiling our baby boy! We are spoiling him with lots of love, hugs, kisses, and snuggles! Big sister Makayla is doing such a wonderful job helping out. Even at such a young age she is very motherly towards Jackson. It's wonderful seeing that bond develop. I will leave you with some more super cute pics of baby Jackson.
