How has it been two weeks since I've blogged? How can your life change so much in just one month?
I've got a lot to say about our first month with Jackson, which I'll save for a later post. Since I've blogged last, my mom has come back to town for a few weeks (hallelujah for her long Christmas break!), Jackson's other grandparents and Uncle Evan came to stay for several days, and Chad and I took advantage of all the free babysitting to go out to a few dinners and even see friends on New Year's Eve.
Today, Jackson is one month old. And what a long, strange trip it's been. We feel pretty lucky to have such an easygoing, happy child (with a few exceptions) and are having so much fun watching him explore new things. Both of his grandmas say they've seen him smile but since he hasn't smiled at me yet I'm chalking those up to just gas. I mean, please, I'm his mother. I'm the one who changes poopy diapers and gets up in the middle of the night when he cries - how dare he honestly grace someone else with his first real smile! Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
A bit about the toy...Jackson got a Gloworm for Christmas from one of his great aunts and uncles. About a week ago while he was having a minor meltdown during a diaper change (this child hates to have his clothes taken off), I grabbed the closest thing I could find...and it was magic. Jackson loves the lights and the music. It's a fixture on the changing table now. Many thanks to Kenny and Debbie!
