Three Months of Jackson Nicholas


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:

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
