7 months old

On November 7th, Jackson turned 7 months old.  And boy did we celebrate with some milestones:

• Jackson experienced his first runny nose/cold.  It really didn't bother him except for when we tried to wipe his nose. 
• Jackson had his first ear infection.  Thankfully, I caught it really early when I took him to the doctor's to make sure his cold wasn't something worse.
• Jackson rolled over from his back to his stomach with a little coaxing with a toy by Mom. 
• Jackson cut his first tooth.  On top of the runny nose and ear infection, his first tooth (bottom right) started coming through.  I tried so hard to get a picture of it, but I had no luck at all!
• Jackson had his first taste of yogurt.  Graduates has these great little YoguMelts that literally melt in the mouth.  I picked some up as a "last resort" for any fussy bits during our trip. 
• Jackson will be taking his first international vacation later this month.  We are headed off to Cancun for a 6 day vacation!  I've been preparing for months making sure I have everything we need, making lists, trying to simply what we bring as much as possible.... wish us luck!
