Milestones!

I know that lately I have been a delinquent blogger, it's just that things around here have been so busy with showers and parties and picnics we have had very little down time! It is amazing though that in that small amount of down time that we have had at home recently, Jack seems to be taking leaps and bounds in terms of what he is able to accomplish and do! He is now sitting up in his highchair every morning with a huge grin on his face watching mommy make coffee and gradually wake up! Last weekend he was just beginning to "notice" his feet. Just looking. In a few short days he has gone from looking to practically eating his toes. Although I'm sure Daddy is thoroughly grossed out by this, I think it is adorable and exciting! Ah, the life of a mom.

Jack is also learning "cause and effect". It is so neat to watch him spin, press or grab at a toy and the laugh and smile at the sound or lights that it presents and then do it all over again! By the way, our big boy can now put his feet flat in the exersaucer.....they grow so fast.

One thing I have not been loving so much is the amount of drool that we have been experiencing. Well, I guess it really isn't the drool that bothers me, but the fact that every adorable out fit is either covered up with an ugly/enormous bib or soaked from neck to waist in less than 10 minutes. He also seems to love to have a bib to grab onto and chew on at any given moment throughout the day.

Lately we have also been working on rolling over. Nothing normal here though....since Jackson seems to loathe being placed on his belly, he is rolling from back to belly and then quickly trying to roll back again. With a little assistance he is able to do all of this rather well. He looks so proud of himself when he has accomplished this feat!

I think our favorite thing of all is when Jack starts laughing! It is the best sound in the whole world and music to our ears!
