Six Months and Counting...

Hard to believe, but our baby boy is six months today. Already half a year old... it feels like it was just yesterday when we were holding that tiny, little 6lbs 14oz bundle of joy, now our bouncing little bambino is 18lbs 8oz of pure little boy.

Jackson has so much happiness and smiles that he loves to share with whomever will interact with him. And he loves his cuddles and doesn't play strange with anyone with open arms to hold him. Hopefully this doesn't hinder him in the 'watch out for strangers' area when he gets older as he is a pretty friendly little guy. And Jackson is just itching to get moving and mobile. Mommy is not so keen on this as she wants her baby to stay little and within eye sight. And Jackson-proofing the house is a chore I hope to hold off just a little bit longer. But our traveling man has been bouncing on his knees and just today hopped forward and taken his first leap towards crawling. Plus having his toys just out of reach are a positive incentive for him in his quest for mobility. I'm sure we will be posting a video very soon of our little man in motion.



In the meantime, enjoy his newly acquired love of big splashes at bath time (great footage for embarrassing moments to share with future girlfriends) and a couple of this-is-me-at-six-months photos. It's tiring being this cute (as you can tell from the picture), but he's a trooper and accomplishes it even while napping with his cheesy monkey in hand and posing outside in the backyard.

Jackson is such a gorgeous AND talented boy! That splashing is EXACTLY how Megan plays in the bath - the same intensity and even the same bath sling!
