Three months have passed since baby Jack was born, and I can't believe it! Here are some updates about our baby boy.
Jackson likes:
- Watching big brother do ANYTHING
- Drinking milky
- Watching daddy and brother make silly faces and noises
- Listening to stories
Jackson dislikes:
- Extended car rides
- When a feeding is a minute late
Eating:
Jack continues to be a really good eater! He has a few bottles of breastmilk a week to practice for when he goes to childcare. During the day he nurses about every 2 hours and he is starting to get some chunky rolls on his legs and arms - my FAVORITE!
Sleeping:
Jackson has been going to bed in the evening around 7:45-8, and sleeps through until about 4/4:30. He'll nurse at that point and quickly go back to sleep until around 6:45. He is sleeping in his basinet during the night, but sleeps in his crib for naps during the day.
Sammy was (and still is) able to fall asleep in any location, but we're finding that Jackson prefers a quiet room with a sound machine to sleep. Dustin and I think Jack is too interested in big brother and doesn't want to miss a thing - that's why his crib is better for sleep during the day...less distractions. :)
Activities:
Jack is a really content little guy. He loves being surrounded by the action of his brother and tracks him with his eyes from wherever he's at. He loves to wiggle on his playmat and kick his bell, and smiles when you talk to him. When he smiles he'll crinkle his nose. It's so cute! We got our first true giggle out of him this week...one of the best sounds in the world!
He is beginning to reach for toys with his hands and is rolling over here and there. Jack doesn't mind tummy time, but prefers to do it on my lap so he can watch big brother at eye level.
This month he's enjoyed plenty of stroller rides and snuggles in the baby wrap. Jackson also LOVES bath time. He's taken a few baths in the tub with Sammy which has been Sammy's favorite thing in the world! For ease, I typically bathe him in the sink, but he's quickly outgrowing it. When I get ready to put him in the water he arches his back as if he's not sure if the water is going to be cold or not. Once he realizes that it's a warm temperature he settles in and relaxes.
I really can't imagine not having him in our family. He has been the perfect little addition! Here are some of my favorite pictures from this month:
