Jackson's 1 Month Birthday

Happy 1 month Birthday Jackson! It was 1 month today that you were born and we were taking you home from the hospital. Your dad and I were sitting in bed last night remembering the late night and early morning before you were born and I remembered something. I had planned to make you a special birthday cake while awaiting the right moment to go to the hospital. But you had other plans and you came so fast that there was not time. So, in memory of the day you were born I baked a little mini cupcake. I've decided to eat yours for you since you can't enjoy it yet. :) We're so glad you decided to make February 25th your special day.

Jackson and I have gotten out a few times despite the cold weather to enjoy our stroller. We plan to have lots more time with it once the weather gets a little warmer. But last Saturday, Mike was out in the garage working with the sun on his back and decided that Jackson needed to join him. So he put him in his snugly blanket with his belly in the sun so he could take in 5 minutes of vitamin D. Don't worry anyone, he was warm!

I've been really enjoying the chance to borrow my mom's professional digital camera. I am saving up for one of my own. Here are some recent photos I've taken for fun of my little Bear. Enjoy!




Jackson is such a happy baby. He has had his moments over this past week and I've heard he might have a fussy stage here soon. But for now he is starting to recognize our facing and this was a rare but special moment when I caught him smiling. He and I have had so much fun getting to know each other this past month and I've loved my time at home with him. He now can lift his head and hold it up for quiet a long time which really shows how strong little babies are.
