Jackson's 1st Photo Shoot!

Scott Burton was nice enough to come to the house a few weeks back to take pictures of Jackson- a plus to having a great photographer live in the neighborhood. He posted the proofs last night. Feel free to take a look at our 41 favorites! Go to www.scottburtonphotography.com, go to the bottom left hand corner and click on "click here to enter," then click on "clients" in the bottom right hand corner, and the password is "pressgrove." We hope you enjoy! I should have a few more Halloween pics to post later tonight!

Check-Up Day

Today we went to the pediatrician for a check-up. This is our second pediatrician, but actually the first one we met with and loved while Jackson was still in the NICU. He said Jackson is absolutely perfect(we of course already knew that)! We should start eating rice cereal sometime in the next two weeks and them move on to baby food a few weeks after that (that should make for some entertaining pics)! Jackson weighed a whopping 8lbs 8oz!!!! He is gaining weight so quickly on milk alone that there really is no need to rush to get him on the cereal or baby food. I took a picture of Jackson and Dr. Gillespie- the doctor is showing off Jackson's excellent head control! His big blue eyes always tell exactly what he is thinking and check out those precious little ears!!!

Lazy Sunday!

Our Sundays are pretty lazy these days since Jackson sadly can't go to church until he is a year old and we definitely can't go anywhere else. So this Sunday I snapped a few pictures of Jason and Jackson lounging around watching football. I took the first picture because I was amazed when I walked by at how long Jackson has gotten (he is 23 inches long now)!



Breaking News....

Breaking news... Jackson is now wearing size 1 diapers! To most parents I'm sure this is no giant feat, but when you start with a baby weighing 1lb 14oz wearing diapers you can't even buy in the store- fitting into a diaper that you have to weigh 8lbs to fit into is reason to celebrate! In perfect mommy fashion I snapped a picture of this joyous occasion! This also gives you a chance to see how excited Jackson is to have his diaper changed at 5am!

Happy Halloween!

Here are a few pictures of our "boys" dressed up for Halloween! Jackson is obviously a monkey and Oscar, although not quite as obvious, is a banana. We tried very hard to get them to take a cute picture together, but believe it or not, Oscar was the one being difficult. I've included the last one just to show how hard it was to get the two of them to cooperate at the same time!





Home Sweet Home!

The next few posts are little snapshots of what we have been up to since bringing Jackson home.

Our Family!



This is sadly the only picture the three of us have taken (or at least that I would post)since we came home from the hospital. I will get mom to take a few more this afternoon when Jason gets home from the game.

Jackson at Home!
