7 Months Old!
Oh my heavens! You cannot be that old! Little baby boy you are so dearly loved I cannot even begin to tell you how much!
1. You have been really fussy the last few days. You got two teeth! I couldn't believe it! You are so much earlier than your brothers it didn't even cross my mind that it could be teeth!
2. You also had a fever for a few days and weren't feeling well. The only thing you wanted was for your mama to hold you and walk outside. All day long.
3. We started feeding you solids this month. You liked rice cereal and sweet potato. Those are your favorites. You weren't a huge fan of broccoli yet.
4. You have to have three spoons when we feed you. One in each hand and one that I feed you with or you are constantly trying to take the spoon from me.
5. You love playing on the floor with your brothers. You cannot stand to be by yourself though.
6. You have struggled with sleeping the last few nights but I think it's because you are not feeling well. You do not like me to put you down for your naps so I have to hold you and cuddle with you. Normally I lie down with you and you nurse and fall asleep but right now you like me to rock you and hold you.
7. You say mmmm for mama.

5 Months Old
Jackson sweet boy, words cannot even come close to explain how much I love you and what you mean to me. You are the most beautiful gift and I am so grateful for you! I love you so very much!
1. You are smiling and happy all of the time. Well most of the time. As long as you are with me, you are the easiest, happiest baby ever!
2. When you do get sad you pucker out your bottom lip to the saddest little face you ever did see.
3. You laugh and giggle all of the time. You love the mirror and playing peek a boo. Jacoby says "here I am" instead of peek a boo because one time he scared you and you cried but you think that game is the best.
4. You love your excersaucer and get excited when you see it for a few minutes
5. You roll over like crazy but you get stuck on your tummy and haven't figured out how to roll that way yet. You are not a fan of being stuck and let us know about it.
6. You are an amazing sleeping and I am really hoping it lasts. You love to snuggle with your mama all night long. You have started taking naps in our bed too but you also will fall asleep when I am holding you or nursing you.
7. When I nurse you, you love to play with my hair and have it against your face. If I have it up you swat your hand around looking for it.
8. You are in 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers
9. You are doing much better in your car seat and will play with toys and talk to Jacoby in the back seat. When you are done you let us know with a different noise you make then you start to cry.
10. Every time before you fall asleep, you will have your eyes closed and dozing off but you will open your eyes one more time and give me a smile before you fall asleep. It is the cutest, sweetest thing ever!
Jackson we love you so much!! Thank you for all of the love and smiles that you bring to us each day!

4 Months Old!
My sweet baby Jackson. You are the most beautiful baby inside and out! We could not love you more!
1. Has been sleeping like a champ! I would say most nights you sleep through the night. Usually go down about 8:30 wake up around midnight to eat. go back to sleep until 6, eat and up for the day around 7. You start the night out in your co-sleeper but then snuggle with your mama after that.
2. We took you in for your 4 month check up and you weighed in at 16 lbs and 13 oz. I could not believe it. You are in the 80%.
3. You rolled over from your back to your front for the first time a few days before four months. Mamma and Paka were in town and you showed them a new trick. You were playing on the floor in the toy room. Once you get on your tummy you can't quite figure out how to go the other way.
4. You are in size three diapers and 6-9 months clothes.
5. You laugh and giggle and squeal a lot. You like to get everyone's attention and then you give them a big smile with your whole body.
6. You are always good for a smile even when you are tired or hungry. You constantly pull off nursing and give me the biggest smiles and every time as you are dozing off you open your eyes one more time and smile at me before really going to sleep. It is the sweetest thing.
7. You are a mama's boy and lately you do not like being away from me at all. You will scream and scream if I leave you. Your poor daddy wants to comfort you so badly but will not have any of it.
8. You dislike your car seat and tell us about it.
9. You are the happiest baby and love to just be with your Mama and watch the world go by. You love to walk around and see what is going on constantly.
10. You adore your brothers and watch them constantly. They feel the same way about you too. Jacoby can get you to smile and laugh better than anyone and you light up when we go get him at school. The boys sing this song to you all day long, Jackson is the best, Jackson is the best. It is so cute and we really think that you are.
We love you Jackson, Jacks, Jacksey and Bird (just a few of your nicknames)!

3 Months Old
How can you be three months old? It seems like just yesterday you were born but in the same breath I have no doubt that I have known you forever. Jackson you have brought so much joy and love into our lives. You are the apple of not only my eye but your dads and your brothers too. We absolutely adore you!
1. You are the sweetest, happiest baby! The only time you cry is when you are in your car seat and we all can't take it. We don't like it when you cry. Your cry consists of you going ma, ma, ma, ma which is even worse for your mama. I know you don't know what you are saying but with your pouty lip and that cry it pulls at my heart.
2. You are a really good sleeper. We have our nights but for the most part you go to sleep around nine, wake up around midnight and then sleep until about 6:30. During the day you like to take a nap about an hour after you wake up for the day and a few other cat naps through out the day. You usually like to sleep the afternoons away. You love to cuddle with me on the couch and sleep so we do that most of the time. You love to snuggle and know that mama is there. If you wake up and I am not there you fuss until you see me and then usually give me a great big smile.
3. You are in size two diapers barely. We will probably move you up to the next size next week.
4. You are wearing some size 3 months but mostly 6 months clothes. You have the cutest double chin and big cheeks.
5. You love to talk and get our attention. You light up when Jacoby comes in the room.
6. You are starting to be opinionated about who is holding you and you usually want it to be me.
7. You enjoy playing on the floor for short periods of times and have started playing with your toys and batting them with your hands.
8. You still love to nurse but they are starting to spread out more like 2- 2 1/2 hours in between. Still a one sided nurser for the most part.
9. You have had a crummy cold for the last week but it doesn't seem to be phasing you too much other than you want to be held all of the time not just most of the time.
10. You are a cuddle bug and love to be cuddled and kissed. You snuggle in and we all love it!
11. Your hair is starting to have quite a bit of red in it but underneath it's light.
12. You have discovered your hands and love to play with them and suck on them. You have even found your thumb! You love to suck on that thumb and I keep trying to put a binky in your mouth instead.
We love you Jackson so much!!

Jackson's Blessing
While we were in Boise, my Dad gave Jackson his blessing. It was a beautiful blessing. It was an amazing experience for me as I watched Jarod carry my baby up to the front of the church and hand Jackson to my dad. The circle was full with my dad, Randy, Ty, Kyle, Brandon, Uncle Pat and my friend Kelly. As these great men encircled my baby, I felt such a huge rush of the spirit and of the priesthood power take over the room. It was so powerful for me that I don't think I even heard much of the blessing but I know that this baby boy is a choice spirit and I know he has a great work to accomplish on the Earth. And I know that he has a healing spirit because he has healed me in ways I didn't even know I needed to be healed.
My mom made his cute blessing outfit and blanket and he looked adorable! I didn't get many pictures the day of his blessing but I took these when we got home.
