We had a great weekend with the Holts and enjoyed some delicious Central BBQ that Jonathan's parents brought on Saturday. Alex took some great photos with his high-tech camera with help from his photography assistant Jordan. He posted a few on his blog but hasn't finished editing all of them. I will put up the ones he posted. Jackson had his first non-family/non-doctor's outing on Sunday when we all went to the Country Club for brunch. He slept the entire time. We have been huddled up in the house all month since it is so cold and it is flu/cold/RSV season with the newborn. Oh yeah...Friday my parents insisted on keeping Jackson and kicked us out of the house to go on a date. We went to Cicero's to visit Ryan (the owner/friend) and just hang out. Ryan has always had a great selection of beer for Greenville, but he upgraded to 11 beers on tap. It is no Flying Saucer; but I think it was a breath of fresh air for Jonny, the beer connoisseur. It was very nice just to get out of the house for some social interaction for me!!
While nursing Jackson, most days I sit and think about all his little characteristics and idiosyncrasies. I figured I would indulge on a few of them...
1. We joke that he has a mullet or either early male pattern baldness. He has lots of "peach fuzz" and little hair on top of his head then on the sides and back it gets thicker (especially in the back @ his neck). So it is safe to say, he is all business in the front and party in the back.
2. His eyes are still blue gray. I have not noticed any change in them. But his eyelashes are growing so much!
3. He always wrinkles up his forehead when sitting on our shoulders to burp or just look around. It makes him look like an old man. It is so cute and funny. Alex appropriately titled this one "Excuse Me?" I have seen this picture so many times but laugh just as hard as I saw it the first time.
4. He has his dad's full, kissable lips! Thank goodness!
4. He has his dad's full, kissable lips! Thank goodness!5. He lets us know when he is hungry by a very loud smacking. It is so funny!
6. He has the strongest neck. At birth, he was able to pick his head up and hold it for several seconds. Now he can hold it for minutes! People are amazed, but I am not surprised. He had resistance training in the womb with my right ribs. I would always say he was headbutting them!
7.He is starting to coo and make lots of noises to try and talk to us!
8. When he starts getting mad, we know it before his face shows it. He starts to move his arms like he is conducting an orchestra. As he gets madder, they get to moving faster until he looks like he is wailing away at some bongos.
Now to the pictures....
