2 Weeks Old

I can't believe that Jackson is two weeks old today!  He is getting so big and becoming more and more alert everyday!  He has already been up for almost three hours today.  That is a record!

At two weeks:

• You weigh 8lbs 5 oz.
• You do not like to be swaddled, because you want your arms free.
• You like to kick your blanket off.
• You love to lay on your jungle mat and look at the swinging monkey and the elephant.
• You are starting to make some cooing noises.
• You are smiling more and more.
• You like to take a bath for the first 5 minutes, and then you are done with it.
• You are sleeping more at night-usually about 4 1/2 hours.
• You had many firsts this week: walk, photo shoot, trip to Target, trip to Greenville, etc.
• You have a paci, but don't usually keep it that long.
• You eat 3 oz every 3 hours. You sometimes eat 3 1/2 oz.
• You get the hiccups a lot, but they don't seem to bother you!

We are so blessed to have Jackson.  He is absolutely precious.  I don't even remember what my life was like before he got here.   I love to just hold him and cuddle.  Yes, he is probably a bit spoiled, and it might cause problems later on (like Jackson not wanting to sleep in his own bed).  For now, I am still going to hold him all the time.
