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:

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week and they were a hit! We loved this eas

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, where most of
