As I say with every month blog, I can't believe Jackson is 6 months old! He is growing way too fast but is sooooo much fun. We decided to celebrate Jackson's half birthday by going to Barnes and Noble to read some books then Jackson got to pick a few new ones out. Marty is SO proud that he seems to love books.
We had Jackson's 6 month check up on Friday. He weighs 19lbs and is 28in long. He has more then doubled his birth weight now and my back definitely feels it! Jackson's Dr was very pleased with his growth especially since he had never had formula or cereal. She also commented on his overall development which makes us feel like we must be doing something right! :-)
Following his check up, Jackson had 4 shots again which are never fun for Mama but he did great! We started Jackson on Rice Cereal Friday evening as well. The very first bite he opened his mouth right up and seemed to like it. A few days later we were busy and I didn't have time to pump so I made it with water. He wasn't as much of a fan and was spitting it out. It made quite a mess!
Jackson is moving around quite a bit. I used to be able to lay him on the floor with toys while I did dishes or something else but now when I leave the room for even a few seconds he is almost across the room by the time I come back in. He isn't crawling but he rolls all over and will sometimes scoot on his back.
I'm thinking his teeth must be moving or trying to. He has had some moments of just not being himself. He will start to make this whiny sound and just look out of it. It's so sad.
Here are a few photos of our little stud muffin.
Jackson ready to go out on his half birthday date with Mama and Dada
Reading with Dada. He has to touch and pat EVERY page.
First time having Rice Cereal. He would laugh almost every time we put the spoon in his mouth. Apparently it was pretty funny.
Clearly enjoying himself
Jackson loves to be outside and especially loves to swing.
