Exersaucer fun!

Jackson has been in the best mood the past couple of days!! He's really starting to enjoy some of his more complex toys, such as the exersaucer. Here are some pictures of him having a blast entertaining himself!

First haircut.

Jackson had his first professional haircut on Saturday. We were told a few times that his haircut a la Mommy was pretty crummy and he's got his 6 month pictures this weekend so we figured we'd clean him up before then. We got him into the taxi cab chair, got his smock on, and he was doing great!

Getting ready for our first haircut! :)

Aren't I handsome!! Who says I need a haircut?!?

Then came the water squirter. It was all downhill from there. The stylist spritzed some water on his head to do the cut and all we got were screams afterward.

I DO NOT like water squirted on my head!!

We had to move out of the taxi cab and he had to sit on Mommy's lap for the remainder of the cut. Other than the crying, all else went well.

Ok, I'm starting to calm down now.....

He walked away with quite the handsome do and is all ready for his pictures this weekend! Those stylists should get a medal for working with those screaming kids....I've never seen a haircut done so quickly in my life! Thanks to Megan!!

Finished product....who would have known I could have come out looking even MORE handsome than before?!?

Happy 1/2 birthday!

Jackson turned 6 months old last week. I know I say this every time I post, but I just can't believe how quickly he's growing up! We had his doctor's appointment on Friday and he's weighing in at 15lbs and is 26 1/4" long. He's in the 50th percentile for height and dropped to the 10th percentile for weight. The doctor didn't seem concerned so I guess I won't be either! Everything else went well at his checkup and his doctor said that he's a very healthy boy. He got 3 shots which made us both sad...I'll be glad when he doesn't have to get those every couple of months anymore. Will post pictures soon!

Rollie-pollie!

So Jackson truly has become a mobile child. On Saturday he learned how to roll from his back to his stomach. Now he just rolls all the way across the room! Back to stomach to back to stomach....it's pretty amusing to watch! :) Although, now I can no longer leave him alone on the floor for a quick second to get something done because who knows where he could end up! Makes my life a little more difficult but it's all worth it just to watch this little boy grow up and to have him in our lives!
