Where have the last 3 weeks gone!?

Yesterday was Jackson's 3-week birthday. We didn't really celebrate (unless root beer floats for his parents count), but I figured it was past time for another blog update. I'm doing this from work, so I'll have to add pics later.

Some updates on our little fella (written by Jill):
darling little boy! It seems like he’s changing and growing every day. We’ve noticed that he’s starting to look more intently at us recently. And, he even looked at and focused on Shadow. He hasn’t done that until this week. Up to this point, whenever she would come around and sniff him, he was pretty oblivious to it. He seems to notice her now.

We’re absolutely loving all the little faces he’s making. After he eats, he gets really relaxed and he loves to purse his lips into a little circle. It’s the cutest thing ever. We just laugh whenever he does it. We’re including a picture of one of those little faces in his bouncy seat, when he’s making that face.

He’s also smiling quite a bit in his sleep. The photographer did get some last week and we think they’ll be perfect. We can’t wait until he can smile on his terms. We hope to start seeing that in another couple of weeks.

Also, he laughed the other day in his sleep. It was so cute!

Jackson went to visit the pediatrician last week for his 2 week check up. He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz. Can you believe it? He’s growing!!! The doctor was thrilled because most babies are just back to their birth weight at 2 weeks. You can definitely tell he’s growing. His little face is filling out and he’s getting chubby cheeks. He’s so cute.

He’s doing so well. He’s healthy, eating well and sleeping well. He eats between 2 oz and 3 oz with each feeding. At night, he’s only been getting up a couple of times—usually once in the early morning (like 2-3am) then about 3-4 hours later (between 5-7 am). His mnerism is calm. He’s so mellow and easy going. He’s just a great little baby.

Pics to come soon & special thanks to his Grandma's for babysitting!
