Five for Five

Jackson is five months old today! Wow the time just flies by. I spotted a picture of him just a few days old on my parent's fridge and couldn't believe the changes in him in such a short period of time. Here are his newest accomplishments in his life so far...

1. Rolling back and forth whether he's on his belly or back. And scaring Mommy ever time he makes it across his bedroom floor from one side to the other on his own.

2. Giggling and gurgling long strings of the oddest sounds. I swear there's a story in there that he is trying to tell us, but we haven't quite deciphered his dialect yet.

3. The strength of our little man is overwhelming if not overpowering at times. And I have a feeling that Daddy has been teaching his some self defence tactics lately as Jackson has been known to squeeze the jugular vein when his little fingers get active.

4. Jackson's recognition of our voices reward us with his first morning grin which make his morning wake up call worth getting out of bed. A guaranteed great way to start any and every day.

5. The appetite of our little boy competes with his father now that we have started him on solids. Tonight alone he had cereal and a baby rice cracker. He is living up to his Daddy's nickname for him, 'Kleiner Schweinhund'. I don't even want to imagine what kind of grocery bill we will anticipate in his teenage years.

We can't wait to see what the next five months will unfold for our little baby boy. But don't grow up too fast, we want to enjoy every minute of you.
