3 Months Old

I can't believe that is has already been 3 months since my life forever changed.  Jackson, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love you more than I ever thought I could love anything!  You make life so much fun. 

You are growing like a weed!  5 weeks early, who?  You would never know that looking at you now!  My best guess is that you weigh 12 - 13 lbs (we go to the doctor next week so I will know for sure then).  You are eating 4oz bottles with 2 scoops of rice cereal (to help with your reflux... the rice cereal has been a life saver!) every 3 hours during the day.  You have moved up to size 1 diapers and are wearing mostly 0-3 month clothing with some 3 month.  Mommy is really sad because the temperature has gotten a little too chilly lately and you have a  few REALLY cute summer outfits that you are just now big enough to wear (I may sneak you in them for a picture or two even though daddy says you can't wear seersucker in October... I think its fine, haha).  

Your personality is coming to LIFE.  You are so much fun, especially in the mornings!!  It makes leaving you to go to work almost impossible!!  You just smile and smile.  You are starting to do your best to "talk" to us.  You probably think I am a crazy person because I will sit and coo back to you... any noise you make I make too... I have the best time. 

You LOVE... I mean LOVE being outside.  You have been this way since the beginning.  Your favorite thing to do is to go on walks with Mommy, Daddy and Bristol.  We sometimes take several walks a day (to keep you happy).  This picture is from last Saturday at about 6:30am (note, mommy is not wasn't a morning person before you) in the driveway.  I was in my green "Merry Christmas" PJ pants and we were walking up and down the driveway because if we went inside... you would SCREAM! ha

But look how happy you are in your stroller!!

Sleep... until last week you were sleeping for 3 - 4 hour stretches a time.  Most of the time you would go right back to sleep after eating,not too bad if you ask me.  The week mommy went back to work, you decided you wanted to give me some extra Jax time so I wouldn't miss you as much... you decided this time should be from about 2-4:30am.  Luckily, this trend didn't last too long (I love spending time with you, that was just a little tough)!  BUT... starting 9/25/2011 you took your bottle around 9:30pm and went straight to sleep.  You only woke up ONE time during the night, around 3- 4:00am and then slept until 6am... it was AMAZING.  You have done this every night since then, WAY TO GO JAX!!   We are still having to let you sleep on your tummy or on our chest because you continue to spit up if you are on your back... pesky reflux!! 

Thanks for the best 3 months of my life!!  I love you so much little man!!
