A little bit of everything

Baths last night. I am new to the whoel "bathe a newborn" thing. Steve always did bath when Madeline was little! It's not so much fun cause he's REALLY slippery!


Madeline helping Daddy give Jackson his first bottle. He hated this bottle, but as since accepted good ol' Avent.


Her favourite place to hold him - in the blue vibrating chair. Lots of these shots to come I think.


Chillin' outside with Daddy



Daddy put her to work!

Better than nothing!


I have been beyond terrible in getting pictures up of Jackson (and Madeline for that matter) but .....well......both my kids are alive so hopefully that is worth something!


I blame some of it on misplacing my camera cord so all the pics go on Steve's computer and then they are lost in his big huge hard drive...

but here is, at least, one picture of Jackson. I took it while he and I chilled inside while our friends and family were building a great new swingset for Madeline! (Pics of that to come!) I call it his ghost picture.

He is doing well. He is gaining weight well and has finally taken a bottle from Daddy. The last two nights he's gone almost a 4 hour stretch! YEAH! He doesn't like tummy time, but has already developed a freakishly strong neck.

Madeline is still doing well with the new addition. Most of the time she just ignores him, but she likes to help change his diaper and she LOVES it when they can lay anywhere together. (usually in the pack n play) She doesn't understand that he can't do everything she can do and wants him to play on the swingset, take a bath with her, go potty etc..... I say she should enjoy not having to share while she can!!

Riding in Cars with Boys




I know I haven't done so well getting pictures of Jackson up....hopefully as his one month (!) birthday approaches, I will be able to do a better job!






Meanwhile, last night we spent some time together outside after Madeline went to bed. He LOVES being outside. It's something that calms him down even during his colicky fits!


We're so lucky to have the best neigbors ever how help us out a lot and LOVE our children. Ken decided to show Jackson the ropes of his new mower!

At last weight check (last Wednesday) he was 9 lbs 11 ounces!

Closer Than my Peeps You are to me

The Girls took a walk down to "Crabbie's House" AKA the creek at the end of our street with Steve. They chased each other the whole way back!
Gabby came over to help Madeline get over her fear of the PowerWheel. I hated the thought of her super fun toy sitting in the garage all summer!!! Gabby is a pretty fearless little one so she took Madeline for a spin in our backyard to help warm her up to the idea! Madeline eventually warmed up to the idea and tossed Gabby in the back of her truck for for a ride! Gabby was so cute and kept saying "She's not scared anymore!" Gabby's a good friend!
