4 weeks, 6 days old!

Hey everyone!!

I realize not everyone is on Facebook, where I do the majority of my updates on Jackson, so I thought I would try and keep the blog current, and maybe post a few daily or weekly pictures for everyone. 

Jackson is doing GREAT. I seriously do not know how it is possible for him to keep getting cuter by the day, but he sure does..... it's CRAZY! The last time we weighed him was at his 3 week appointment, and he clocked in at 8 pounds 5 ounces. I am thinking about taking the little chunk down to the DayOne Center today for a weigh in.... I'm thinking he's 9+ by now. The little guy is thriving.... his little neck is so strong and he's doing such a good job holding it up all on his own. He is grabbing onto fingers, and follows our voices and faces with his eyes. We are also making sure to get him on his tummy for some tummy time at least once a day, so he can strengthen his back muscles. He is now sleeping all by himself in his big boy crib in his own room, which is giving us about 2-3 hours of sleep at a time -which is GREAT. Bryan and I are both starting to feel more normal again and like we are a bit more rested. 

Little Jackson has spent most of the first four weeks of his life in Tahoe up in the mountains in the fresh air. He loves our "Serenity" cabin.... maybe that is why he is such a happy and peaceful baby!! =) He has gone on all sorts of outings so far in his short few weeks - to the communication hill stairs, hiking, walking down LakeShore Blvd in Tahoe, to dinners at the Country Club, to sushi, and strolling downtown Los Gatos, to name a few!! <3
