Diff'rent Strokes

What You Talkin' 'Bout, Willis?

In Living Color

For his next trick, Jackson will be working on snapping in a "Z formation".

Slap Me Silly!

The next time I think about posting about how well Jackson is sleeping, eating, sitting-up, or whatever, smack me! Just don't all line up at once.

Sleeping

Okay, since it has been 4 straight days, I feel comfortable putting this out there in the cosmos without it coming back to bite me in the butt....
Jackson has been sleeping WONDERFULLY....like so well that I wonder if he has grown into some sleeping disorder or something. Here is an account of his last 4 nights' blocks of sleep, without any noticible interruption: 7, 8, 9, 8.5 hours. Is that great or what? I don't know if it is just his age, his confort level with his home and crib now, the rice cereal, or his inability to take naps of any significiant length during the day, but Mommy and Daddy are certainly not complaining about this recent turn of events. Now I just hope that putting this out there doesn't mean that he will become a terror for the next 4 nights....I'll keep you posted.

A Day Without Mommy

Jackson spent the day away from me all day yesterday because I was sick as a dog with food poisoning and I was in no shape or mindset to be caring for a 10 week old. (He's 10 weeks today!). So Jackson's Daddy took care of him by taking him to daycare and picking him up. Then Jackson spent some time with his Mammaw at her house while Daddy went to an after work meeting that he couldn't miss. Jackson and I finally got a short bit of time together late at night when I was feeling well enough to feed him and put him to bed. Food poisoning stinks!

Laundry

I think he has gotten too big to do this to him anymore....

He Didn't Cry When We Left Him ....

.....for his first day of daycare.....he only cried when Mommy came to pick him up and take him home!! Is he trying to tell us something? According to the daycare workers, Jackson did well at his first day...although I don't know what an infant actually has to do in order to qualify as having a "bad" first day.

Here he is at home, all excited and (apparently) quite sure of himself for his first day of "school".


Here he is in a bouncer at daycare during his first day.
