Jackson is 6 weeks old and will be 7 weeks in just a few days. I cant believe how quickly he has grown. He is a wonderful baby. I realize that its not normal to have such a good baby. Im sure our next child will cry more and not sleep through the night until he/she is a year old. BUT for now, I am enjoying my almost perfect baby (would be perfect if it wasnt for that sinful nature part).
Some of the things I love about him:
His smile - He is just now starting to really smile. You can talk to him and make silly faces and he will smile. I am not good at baby talk, and I am not a big fan of it. I try to do it, and just feel like an idiot. Luckily he will smile at my silly faces.
His laugh - I have only heard it a few times, but it is precious! I dont think he has done it on purpose, but I LOVE IT! I cant wait until this becomes more consistent.
His Cooing - The sounds he makes are the most precious sounds in the world. I cant even explain them. There is nothing better.
The way he wakes me up in the morning - For the first few weeks, he woke me up by screaming bloody murder. For the past few days, he has been waking me up with his cooing and his smiling. Melts my heart.
His manly grunting - He grunts so much and so loudly when he has to poop. I just think it is hilarious
The way he Holds me - When I put him on my shoulder, he puts his arms around me and curls up his knees. I feel like he is my little koala bear.
The way he smiles in his sleep - Its precious. Ill be watching him and all of a sudden he will smile.
The many different facial expressions he can have in under a minute - he can go from sad, to lower lip, to angry, to confused, to happy, and then off to a peaceful sleep look.
His face when John burps him - John holds him on his lap and leans him over. He places his hand under Jackson's chin and then pats Jackson. Jackson loves it and looks relatively drunk. It's quite humorous.
The fact that he is starting to look for me when he hears my voice - I'm not going to lie, I want to be his most favorite person ever. I might not be the best mother in law...I already hate all those skanks out there...not that all the girls are skanks, but if any hussies try to mess with my little boy, Im not gonna play nice. Ok, I probably will because I know thats what God would want me to do, but it will be hard. I want to protect him so much!
