Jackson meets McKenzie

Jackson met his cousins when they came to Mimi and Bear's for a visit. The boys weren't too interested in Jackson (Nicholas noted that his feet were very small), but McKenzie was quite taken with "Baby Jackson." She insisted on holding him and was pretty careful. We got a preview of life to come with a little boy when Ian (7 years old) somehow managed to hit himself really hard with an aluminum bat, busting open his forehead and requiring stitches. Robert and I watched the other kids so my parents could run Ian to the ER. I'm sure sweet Jackson will never scare us like that, right?

Big Smile

Smiling!!!

We finally managed to capture some smiles!

Jackson gets more alert every day! These photos were taken in the middle of week 6. He has continued to gain weight and as of the end of his 6th week he weighs 13 pounds! He is starting to smile and coo.
Peek a boo!

The beginning of a smile...and showing off his ample double chin. Sadly this is only cute on infants...

Chillin'

So, 6 week olds don't really do that much. As adorable as he is, Jackson mostly confines his activities to nursing, sleeping, going to the bathroom, and occasionally smiling or cooing. Sometimes we have to get creative to pass the day. A pair of baby sunglasses from Target did the trick of amusing us for a while.
