Chunk

Well, after a not so pleasant 4 month check up it has become my life ambition to fatten my baby up! Apparently, he was too skinny for his age at his last appointment (he was measuring in the bottom 5th percentile for weight). So, we've moved his feedings closer together, increased the amount of formula, and even added some rice cereal to his diet and we now have....... a chunk!

• Jackson has discovered his toes.
• He intentionally laughs now... and at the right times (not during scary movies anymore).
• He loves ice cream and has had his first taste of Ghiradelli chocolate! Yummy!
• He is eating rice cereal now - although he definitely prefers ice cream over boring rice cereal.
• He is grabbing food off our plates. He is mesmerized by food - imagine that!
• He held a girl's hand for the first time. Watch out ladies we have a flirt!
• He is constantly rolling over from his stomach to his back.
• He is becoming much more opinionated over which toys are his favorites.
• He is starting to be able to sit up on his own... but eventually tumbles over.

This photo was taken just seconds before Jackson decided to pee all over Daddy's stomach.

Notice the facial expression!

Also, this month, Dad survived his first weekend with Jackson by himself. I hopped on a plane to Vegas where I met up with my sister and a co-worker/friend from Colorado. We had a great girls weekend filled with pool time, dancing, drinking, eating, shopping and so much more! I missed my little man, but I was glad Greg had a full weekend to discover what I do when while he's away from work every day. Needless to say, Greg was happy to see me return home and handed the little guy over right away!
