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 [7-3-2026]

  It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life.  This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

Friday Favorites [6-14-2024]

  I hate to be the one to point it out...but how in the world is June almost halfway over?! I would like to hit the "slow down" button on summer, please. 😉 Like usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from our week. Here we go! You'll notice that many of my "favorites" are food related this week. One of the reasons I love summer is that the cooking is easy, and I can take some time making things I typically wouldn't have time for. Wednesday evening we grilled pork chops and I was hunting for a side dish. I found the ingredients for taco dip and we gobbled it right up. Taco dip is basically a salad, yes?  Jack (and big brother!) have been loving water play this summer. It has been extra warm this week, so it's been a great way to beat the heat.  We had burgers this week using my very favorite  recipe . This meal is probably one of Dustin's most loved meals! Ugh. I love watermelon. I ate SO MUCH of it during my preg...

Friday Favorites [7-10-2026]

  It's Friday!  I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. Here we go!  Easy favorite was our Fourth of July! We had a festive day - we went to our parade in the morning and hosted a party in the evening. Look at these cute boys!  Big fan of fireworks and sparklers over here.  Sammy's favorite from the week was the visiting frogs and axolotls to our local library. He has big dreams of owning an axolotl - he's done extensive research 😉 - but we've come to the conclusion that the age of 14 seems reasonable to own an axolotl. Haha. He was very excited to see them up close and in person!  Our slow mornings of a cold brew + the boys playing in the basement are my FAVORITE for sure! I love these days.  Roo's favorite was easily sitting on my lap while I read outside. If you see a dachshund shaped tan line on my legs, no you don't. 😅 I have been eating this  High Protein Chicken Salad  on repeat for lunches! It i...
