In Love

It's amazing how much babies change in such a short amount of time. Jackson resembled his daddy so much in the beginning but he's really taking on a look of his own as he gets older.

We are so in love with our little man!


Bath Time

We love bath time! Jackson gets a little cranky in the evenings so into the sink we go! Getting a bath seems to do the trick - soothes him every time :)




Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!
We had lots of pumpkins around this year!

Jackson & Grams - first Halloween



Multiple Generations

I feel blessed Nonnie is able to meet her first great grandchild - I look forward to the memories we'll be able to make in the future.

One Month Old

It's hard to believe how fast time goes by - can't believe he's already a month old!

Baby Announcements & Newborn Pictures

We had Jacksons newborn pictures taken and sent out his birth announcements. There are times when this still seems so surreal - hard to believe we're now proud parents!

Eventful Two Weeks

Jackson is now 2 weeks old and I'm amazed at how fast it's gone by! As each day comes and goes, mom is learning and things are getting easier.

We are on a pretty consistent schedule during the day and nights are getting better. We're working on keeping him up during the day so he'll sleep better at night which proves to be quite difficult at times as our little boy loves to sleep! My goal is to get him down to only one feeding during the night by the time I go back to work. I read the Baby Wise book and we're doing all that we can to implement the process and so far it's paying off.

We are still battling some gas issues but as of yesterday, I'm eliminating dairy from my diet in hopes that will help. You don't realize how much dairy you eat until you can no longer have it! If it helps our little man digest things easier, it will be totally worth it.

Below are some of our milestones thus far...

Our first bath - he's very soothed by this process

Getting our newborn pictures made - he was such a trooper

Our first OU/Texas game - OU won 55/17

Two week checkup
8 lbs 4 oz and 21.5 inches

We love our sleep!
