One Month Old!

Jackson turned one month this week!  I can't believe how fast the last month has gone by!  Here are some highlights from the last month!

- Jackson had both sets of grandparents here until Thursday, February 23 to visit and spoil him!

- Shawn was able to give Jackson a name and a blessing during our Sacrament meeting on the 19th.  He gave Jackson a beautiful blessing, and many of our friends and family were able to attend.

- Jackson's umbilical cord finally fell off Friday, Feb. 24th after 3.5 weeks!  It hung on for a long time!  That meant Saturday night was his first real bath in his bath tub!  He did awesome, and didn't cry until we took him out of the warm water to dry off.

- Jackson is getting better at sleeping at night.  Some nights, he only wakes up one time between when we put him down and when Shawn leaves for work to eat!  However, he usually wakes up right after Shawn leaves on those days.

- We have successfully made it to the grocery store twice and out to eat with our friends the Stuarts once.

- Here are some things that Jackson loves:

His binky

Being swaddled (we call him our burrito baby)

Cuddling with mommy and daddy, and holding our fingers any chance he gets!  When we put Jackson down for a nap, he likes to peek and see if we are still holding him.  If we are, he'll go back to sleep.  If not, he'll wake up and be a not so happy baby

- Jackson also loves to make silly faces.  Here are some fun ones :)

We sure do love our little guy!
