Baby Connection

We started going to Baby Connection, at Birth to Three, a few weeks ago.  Its a group of moms who come together to talk about what is going with their babies and have support from one another.  You can also weigh your baby, scrapbook, and feed your baby.

Six Weeks

We can't believe Jackson is already six weeks old.  We still can't believe he belongs to us, We get to keep him, and how much we love him.  He is such a joy to have around.  He is such a good baby.  He is starting to "talk", little coos, and it seams as though he wants to be a part of the conversation.  He moved out of our room on his six week birthday, boy was that hard.  Don't get me wrong he did great, but it was hard for me.  I didn't get much sleep, thinking about everything that could possibly go wrong and what my game plan would be if that happened.  I talked to Tina about it the next day and sadly she informed me that those thoughts will never go away.  "You just have to do it anyway", she said.  I'm sure that's a lesson that I will learn more than once.  Ryan was the most excited for him to just be utilizing the one finished room in the house.  We did so much work on Jackson's room its really nice just to look around during night feedings. So to sum up what its like to be a Mom of a six week old baby......TIRED!  Just kidding.  It's really more wonderful than I could have ever imagined.  We just love him so much and he makes us laugh everyday.

HALLOWEEN

Today was a perfect holiday.  Ryan was home and we got to lay around in the morning, just enjoying our new family.  Ryan went and got coffee and made breakfast.  Later we went for a drive along the McKenzie River, it was just beautiful.  We carved Pumpkins, and dressed up as a little pirate family.  Ryan and Heather came down for a bit and we got pics of our little monkeys.  Happy Halloween Jackson!

Everyone was so excited to finally meet Jackson

Pumpkin pickin'

 

Today we went to pick out our pumpkins for carving.  It was really exciting as we shared our tradition with Jackson (even if he slept right through it:)  Ryan found a patch that was not too far from the house.  On the way home we stopped and took a few pictures of some beautiful sights, and our first family photo together.

Oh boy, Mommy is having too much fun with this little guy.  Jackson has been such a wonderful addition to our family.  He is such a sweet baby, and so well behaved, it is really a joy to have him around.  Daddy can't get enough of him, making sure to get home at lunch to see him, and having me send pics and updates to his phone all day.  His patients have been so supportive as well bringing cards and gifts, and asking for the latest pics.   It is amazing how one tiny person can be so loved.

Ryan's family came to visit last weekend, Ryan was so excited to show off his little boy.  They were all so excited to meet him, and couldn't take their hands off him.  He was smothered in kisses and love the entire weekend.  Ryan took the family out for a drive to Dexter Resivor and the surrounding areas.  They all got their exercise walking the hills around our house, and got to experience the fall weather here in Oregon with the leaves falling and even a little rain.
