I can not believe my little guy is already over a month old! He continues to be such a precious, tender, layed-back little fella! He rarely makes a peep! I know...you think I'm crazy...a newborn who rarely cries...but I'm serious! I know if he cries then the little guy is either starving or has a nasty diaper! And this little one loves eating!!! He chows down every 2 hours...sometimes he will make it close to 3 during the day but not often. At night he averages 4 hours between feedings....thank goodness it's not every two! He is truly such a perfect little gift from heaven! He is a big snuggler...sleeps best when cuddled up close on mommy or daddy's chest. We have special snuggle time when big sister is down for her nap. Shhh! Don't tell sissy we snuggle without her....:)
His typical day is a routine of eating, awake for a few minutes then back to sleep! He sleeps WAY more than Bella ever did! She had a rough newborn stage with reflux and a dairy allergy...bless her little heart! Jackson seems to be the most content little guy! He is growing fast! At 2 weeks he weighed 8lb 11oz and was 21 inches! So, that's been 3 weeks ago...I bet he is approaching 10lbs if not more! The past week or so he has been so much more alert...wide-eyed and looking all around! He still loves to be warm...snuggled up in his thick sailboat blanket or chilling outside in the warm summer heat. He does seem to be a grunter! He grunts and gurgles loud at night...only at night...but it's loud!!! But, maybe is does it cause he knows daddy will take him to the couch and snuggle with him! We are blessed to have this precious little man join our family! He brings us each so much joy each day!
Here are some favorite pictures from the past few weeks!
