4 Months Old

Dear Jackson,

I cant even begin to tell you how fast you grow. You have learned how to do so much this month.

 

You try so hard to sit up. Your Dad and I cant help but to laugh....it looks like you are doing little sit ups. You try so hard that you grunt and your face gets all red. You love to sit up when we help you...We count to three and sit you up. Your face is priceless when we say three.

 

 

You have many nick names. Your Mom calls you Mr. and little man. Your Dad calls you Partner and buddy. Some other nicknames are Chunka Munk, J Bear and Baby Jackson.

 

You love to laugh....and when you are not being serious, you are full of smiles!

 

 You can roll onto your side and blow lots of raspberries....that makes everyone laugh.

 

You have finally discovered your toys....You like to put them in your mouth and talk to them.

You especially like tummy time now, thanks to our Ipad

 

 

You love looking at Christmas lights. The Christmas tree was your favorite.

 You have discovered your voice and sometimes surprise your self with some of the noeses you makes.

 

You love to eat your hands, you also love to eat your moms arm as she tries to change your diaper or wash your hair.

 

You love your cousins. They give you so much attention!

 

You have also finally noticed Bailey....You guys are specials buds. You let her lick your hands and you try to pet her.

 

 

 

We celebrated out first Christmas and New years together as a family. You make it so Special

 

 

This month your Mom has tried to focus more on the moments with you, and savor the special moments we have together. You are such a sweet baby. At night when I am done feeding you, you always nuzzle in alittle closer to me, I sit and watch you as you sleep. I love to do that, sometimes you will peek at me through little slits and smile up at me. You smile so much in your sleep. I love it, makes me think your Dad and I are doing it right and giving you what you need. We love you so much and wish you a

 

Happy Four Months!



2012

This year has been a crazy year for Jeff and I. We have had so much heart ache and excitement this year. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by.

At the beginning of the year we lost Jeff's Grandpa DeMoss and My Uncle Dwight to cancer. It was all so close together and so heart breaking for the both of us. During all that going on, we found out we were pregnant for the first time after many years of infertility. We went back an forth with loss and the gain of something special.

Even though our year started with heart break, We had a great year with lots of fun. 

 We celebrated

 my growing tummy

 weddings of cousins

Many sports events

Our growing family

The birth of our son.

It has been one amazing year. Cant wait to see what 2013 brings. Happy New Year!

Christmas

I just love Christmas. I love the decorations and the time with the family. It is just a joyful and spiritual time of year, very much worth celebrating.

 Jeff and I both looked forward to this year because of Jackson. Even though he had no idea what was going on. He put more Christmas spirit in my husband, who I like to call the Grinch, and over the top Christmas spirit in the Christmas fairy my self.

So here is what we did this Christmas season with our little guy.

We put Christmas lights up for the first time ever since Jeff and I have been together

We got to put up our Christmas tree for the first time in this home. (Sadley we didn't get to plug in the tree christmas morning because our Bailey ate the cord)

We got to celebrate a early Christmas with Nana and Grandpa Scott

We went to Winter Haven. It is a tradition for Jeff and I to go every year, We were very excited to take Jackson. He loved looking at all the lights.

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma Millers house. My family reenacted the Nativity. Jackson was supposed to play Baby Jesus, but unfortunately he was super fussy and we had to leave early and missed out. 

Christmas morning we woke up and opened presents. Then sadly Jeff had to go to work, but Jackson and I were very grateful to share the morning with him before he had to go. 

Later that day Jackson and I headed back to Grandpa and Grandma Millers to enjoy some more family time. 

It was a wonderful Christmas season, I am so grateful to share it with Jeff and Jackson. I am one lucky girl.

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Three Months

Dear Jackson,

  Wow how time flys. It seems like you were just born.....You had your first cold this month....it was very sad for your Dad and I to watch you cough and sneeze, but you were a trooper and continued to smile through the whole thing. We took you to the doctor to see if you were ok and we found out you are 16 pounds! Almost twice your birth weight! :) We are so happy you are growing and are so healthy.

You have discovered your hands this month. You love to put them in your mouth and you even try to shove both fists in at once!

You love to kick in the tub....by the end of bath time you don't have allot of water left....and both of us are all wet!

You love to be sung to. You love the 4 little ducks song. You always smile and get excited for the Mama Duck part.

You love to sit up and watch everything that is going on....you also like to talk to the ceiling fans and air vents.

You had your first Thanksgiving this month. We are so thankful for you!

You sleep in your crib and like to lay flat! We are very excited about this.

You wake up once a night now. secretly your mom loves it because you like to be cuddled after you eat....and she sits and just stares at you, you are her miracle.

You love to stand, we set up your bouncer and you love to get that thing bouncing!

You never stop cooing. You love to tell us long stories.

You love to watch football.....we always cheer on Notre Dame with dad.

We are so excited to show you new things and watch you grow. Life was not complete until you came. We love you

Love,

Dad and Mom
