Well it has been a while since the last post so instead of doing some work while Jackson sleeps I figured I would update everyone on how fast our little man is growing! He rolled over this past week from his tummy to his back during tummy time...I really think the main motivation for him was the fact that he HATES tummy time! I was so excited I started clapping and it scared him so he started getting the quivering lip that is so darn cute! After this I put him back on his tummy and turned on the camera hoping to get it all on tape, but he just cried...poor guy thinks the camera is attatched to my head or something! And just to make sure I don't get it on film he has not repeated the roll over yet. He is also enjoying sitting up like a big boy and often times tries to sit up on his own, but only does a crunch type motion. When he does sit up we only really need to give him minimal support and help with the balance part so I am sure he will be sitting up on his own in no time.
He made out like a bandit on Christmas, he got tons of presents from grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course his mommy and daddy. He was overall not to impressed with the whole process...he was interested in some shiny wrapping paper and maybe a toy or two but other than that he was more interested in taking a nap! Oh and we did get him to the mall and got a picture of him with santa, he was of course unimpressed, but he didn't cry so that was a small miracle!
Another recent development is that Jackson looooves to watch tv. We are trying to avoid that until he is two, that is other than his Baby Einstein DVDs, but he has other plans, he was craning his neck so much the other night I was afraid he was going to hurt himself. I guess this goes to show you that you can't fight genetics...he's going to be a couch potato, just like his parents! We also got his three month pictures done, make sure to check them out in the photos section, he was super cute and loved the girl taking the pictures so he hammed it up for her! I will try and post more Christmas pictures later...hard to believe he is three months already! I can't wait until his four month checkup because I am hoping we get the thumbs up to try cereal because Jackson also likes to watch other people eat, makes me feel guilty to eat in front of him! Ok off to get some things done before he wakes up, or maybe I will just sit and stare at his beautiful face!
