1 month

Jackson,

    You are 1 month old!! You are growing up so fast.

    You gave us a scare yesterday. I found dried earwax on your ear and called your doctor immediately. I thought you had an ear infection. Mommy and daddy have never had a sick baby so we were very scared. Mommy and Mimi ran you to the doctor and guess what? Your ears are so small they couldn't see in them. They didnt think you had an ear infection just some water in there from your bath. We are going to have to be very careful when you get a bath. We also weighed you....9.75 pounds!!!!! You gained almost a pound in a week. You are growing up so fast!

   Today we are having a little get together with family for your 1 month birthday. I hope we can do this every month. Mommy made you some really cute cupcakes.

  This morning you smiled at daddy. It was a real smile. Not a gassy smile, but a real I love you daddy smile. You made his day!!

  Yesterday you really started to use your hands. You can grab toys that are hanging from your playmat. You try to put them in your mouth. Sometimes you can, its amazing! You are so smart bird!!!

  Yesterday mommy and Mini put you in a 3 month outfit. You looked so cute. So, I guess its time to pack up the newborn onesies. This makes mommy sad. You are just growing so fast!!

Mommy and Daddy love you, bird!!!
