I have not blogged in a while, but I want there to be a record of what Jackson has been doing as well as update everyone on him.
He is doing so well. He is now pulling his self up to a standing position using furniture or whatever he can grab on to. He has been sitting up on his own for a while now. He is also crawling around like crazy now. He is exploring and touching new things.
He loves when we sing the ABCs. Sometimes when he is crying, if I sing that song he will automatically get a smile on his face. He also likes when I sing Amazing Grace at bed time to him, even though I don’t know all the words.
He still sleeps with me in the bed even though Daddy wants him in the crib. I can’t help it, I just love to cuddle him all night long. It also makes nursing so much easier, even though I only do it one to two times a night. I know he loves it too! I would just feel really strange not having him with me at night. Since I work all day it is some bonding time for us.
He loves the Kitties (Pearl and Kayley) and gets a huge smile on his face whenever he sees one. They of course have learned that he is not going to pet them like Paul and I do. He usually grabs there skin and fun really hard and they have learned to run when he gets anywhere near them. Sometimes I help him pet them so he does not grab them and they allow it. Kayley has taken to him more the Pearl. I think Pearl is jealous of him, even though she is very understanding of me sleeping with him instead of her now. He is eating three times a day now.

When his is really happy he sucks air in and makes a happy squel. Kind of like the noise someone makes when the are surprised. It is so cute.
He has a nanny named Lindsay. She watches him two days a week while mommy is at work and daddy is at ASU. We are very lucky to have her. She takes very good care of Jackson and loves him like he is part of her family.
We usually give him cereal and cereal poofs. He is still has a little bit of a hard time getting the poofs in his mouth but he is getting better and better everyday. I have been giving him bites of things I eat here and there also. I’m not one of those moms who does not want him to have sugar till his first birthday. I have given him little tastes of sweets here and there. I cant help it I love to see him all excited after he tastes something sweet. No chocolate of course. I gave him a lemon and even though he made a weird face he wanted more. I excited for him to get to get Thanksgiving things athough he has already had pumpkin pie.

Jackson was Luke Skywalker for his first Halloween. His Grammy made him an awesome costume. She also spent the Halloween weekend with us. He loves his blue laser sword and if you even touch it when he is playing with it he freaks out. We went to a pumpkin patch the weekend before Halloween and Jackson got a little pumpkin. Daddy carved a face and one side and Jack on the other side. We went to Aunt Tracey's parents house and enjoyed a pot luck. We also went to Tyare and Sarah house for some goolish fun. It was all in all a great night.
He HATES getting his diaper changed and getting dressed. He screams bloody murder, but we try to do it as fast as possible.
I can’t believe how big he is getting. Sometimes I wish I could freeze time and keep him small a little longer. He defiantly is a mama’s boy. He always wants me to hold him. He will go from crying in someone arms to a huge smile the minute I take him in my arms.
Jackson is getting a flu shot today. I feel bad but since we are flying to CA this weekend I think it is necessary.
Jackson loves when his daddy growls at him and then tickles him with his mouth. He finds it hilarious. He is very ticklish on his ribs and sides.
He is now taking a bath in the big bath tub and loves to move around and likes to pull the drain out.
Being a mom is so awesome and I can’t wait to does it again even thought it will probably be a couple years from now.
