5 months

We've had a busy month around here, but even though this poor blog has been neglected, there is no shortage of baby Jackson photos. You are such a little lover, your eyes light up when people look at you and you just melt when people smile at you. Especially your mama. It's true what they say about baby boys and their mommies. You love mommy.

You are one happy dude (in daylight hours)

You like to swing, especially next to sissy

And you LOVE to eat, obviously. Grammie fed you over the weekend and she got to see how you visibly shake in anticipation of the (solid) food about to enter your mouth.

You still love those feet!

And that little thumb keeps finding it's way to your mouth this week! I pull it out, but I think you are teething and you use your thumb to bite on and to press those gums.

Sissy got a new toy (which you had your eyes glued to) and as soon as she went down for nap, that thing was yours!

We are working on sleep, but other than that...you are a JOY to our family. Such a cool little dude you are. Our big boy. Our precious Stone.

Sweet Jackson

Behind on blogging already. Life is busy with two babies!

Jackson, we are so so thankful for you. You are the sweetest baby. Such a great sleeper so far, last night you didn't wake up until 3AM. THANK YOU!! You just don't stop growing, and your cheeks are to-die-for chubby. God must have listened to my prayers all those years when I asked to someday have chubby babies. You are a such a beautiful, or should I say handsome, baby boy. People call you "pretty" but mama calls you a stud. You probably don't want to be known as a pretty boy...but you can't help your good looks. You have started to smile, melting my heart and all the hearts around you. You just LOVE your tubby time and get so relaxed. You have started cooing and talking back to us when we talk to you. You take the best naps on your tummy, even though that's against the rules these days. You also take great naps when being held, and as soon as we try to set you down, you show us your big, bright eyes. You just like being held! Your sister is still obsessed with you and wants to hug and kiss you all day long. This week, you got to meet "Uncle B" and your cousins Lincoln and Lila, who love you just as much as Lucca does. They are so sweet with Baby Jackson!

The first 5 weeks of your life have been incredible. We are so blessed. So thankful. So in love with you.
