Christmas Wrap-Up, and 7 Months

I know it been a while since I've blogged, (2 months...eek!!) but this little guy keeps me busy. Jackson's first Christmas was so much fun! Christmas Eve was here at the house with Matthew's family, and Christmas Day was spent at my sisters'. I took some great pictures with my phone, but somehow they were deleted!!!! Fortunately, I took some great video of Christmas morning, so I DO have those memories....

Here are some pictures from Christmas Day...

The cutest little froggie from Nana and Gramps....

Leaving his mark on Maren's new Leapster game.

Mason was a big help. I love how Jackson is looking up at him.....he loves is cousin!

Jackson's favorite Christmas gift...Thank You Aunt Jen Jen, and Uncle Mark!!

Here are a few pics of my sweet baby boy...
So hard to to believe he is 7 months. These days he is crawling everywhere, and starting to pull himself up. Sleeping through the night seems to be a hit and miss, but hopefully this is a phase that soon passes.

Morning playtime before breakfast
The aftermath of the teething biscuit...

Lunch time with a new cup! Right now we still like old one.

Seriously, how can you resist this face?

LONG overdue....4 Months & Halloween

Since Jackson will be 5 months on Thursday, I thought I would dust off the keyboard and post a few of his milestones, and stats. Hard to believe how big he is....

Right now he weighs 18 lbs.
Rolls from his tummy to his back, and back to tummy
Discovered he can scream, and laugh (I could listen to that laugh all day)
Now eating rice cereal with fruit in the morning, and veggies at night
Graduated from the infant carrier to a cushy new car seat

These are a few of my favorite 4 month pics...Enjoy!

Multitasking...

Playtime on the floor....He LOVES this

First time eating rice cereal with apples. Not sure why he looks scared, he loved it!

Look how big he looks in his new car seat...





Halloween was spent at my sisters house with the family. Jackson had so much fun, and loved all the haunted hoopla. This year he was a bumble bee, and it has to be said that he was the CUTEST bee I've ever seen.

Our 'Spooktacular' Family

Seriously, how cute is he?

I LOVE that sweet face!

What a Difference a Month Makes!

3 moths old...time has gone by so fast! Jackson has changed so much, and here are his stats...

Currently weighs 15.9lbs.
LOVES sucking on his fingers and hands (he tries to put his whole fist in his mouth too)
Coos, and smiles all the time
Loves to go on walks in the stroller, but still cries in the car (still working on that one)
LOVES bath time....who doesn't!
Starting to grab toys from me or Matthew

The BIGGEST stat of all.....We are on our way to sleeping through the night!!! The past few nights he has slept at least 5 1/2 hours, and Wednesday night he slept 8 hours! I didn't know what to do with myself.

Here are some pics from last month....Enjoy!

This week we got acquainted with our high chair....and we love it!

Friday we went to my grandma's house, and had some quality one on one time...love how Jackson looks up at Mamas!

Mamas just fed him a bottle and he passed out....notice how his hand is on hers. I love it!

Ahhh....tummy time. Such a strong little boy.

We love our aquarium....

Love those fingers....

Just last night Jackson rolled over from his tummy to his back in his sleep. When I went in to check on him, he was cooing and smiling....so proud of himself. (I think)

2 Month Photo Shoot

Baby Jackson is 2 months old....I can't believe it. He has changed so much, and developing his own personality. His smile melts my heart, and he is such a flirt. Right now he is starting to notice objects and faces more clearly, and loves to look at the ceiling fans. I love this little boy so much!!!

Here is Jackson at 6 weeks.....just had to throw this one in.

This past Friday we headed out to my sister's house for his 2 month photo shoot. Here are some of the outdoor pics Jennifer shot. Take a look at his baby blues....

Does he look like Matthew or what?

Hope everyone is enjoying their last bit of summer...

Wow!....1 Month Old!

I can't believe Jackson is already a month old!! He is such a good baby, and changing on a daily basis. Here are his 'month old' stats...

• Right now he weighs 8lbs. 14 oz (1lb. gain since birth)
• He sleeps 2-3 hours during the day, and anywhere from 4-5 hours at night.
• LOVES is bouncy chair...(thanks Nana!!)
• He is starting to hold is head up and look around.....He's so alert!

Here are a few pictures of Jackson, with the most recent first. This was taken yesterday in our new recliner. He totally looks like Matthew!!! (Why did it take us so long to get one....LOVE our recliner!!)

Yesterday we ventured out as a family to my sister's for the 4th. Jackson slept most of the time we were there. No one really got to hold him....I guess Maren's bed was super cozy.

LOVE these two pictures.....

2 Weeks Old

I can't believe Jackson is 2 weeks old....on his due date no less. So much has happened since we've been home, so many changes. I know every mother says this, but I do have the best child. Right now he goes 3 hours between feedings, and sleeps anywhere from 3 to 4 hours at a time! He is becoming more alert...looking around, and recognizing our voices. I love our little family!!!

This week my sister, along with some of my girlfriends have come by for a visit and have brought either lunch or dinner for us. I am so thankful to have friends like them in my life....they mean so much. My sister decided to have a photo shoot with baby J, and here are a couple of the end results....he's already so photogenic!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day weekend.

Introducing...Jackson Thomas Milliorn

After a surprising visit to my doctor's office Thursday, I was admitted at 1pm due to my high blood pressure. I was induced around 2pm, my contractions started, and the process had begun. Fast forward 14 hours, I started pushing....and pushing....and pushing...for an 1 hour 1/2!!!!!!! Long Story short....I had Jackson Thomas via C-section June 4, 2010 at 5:34 am. Here are just a few pics. I am in the process of downloading more, but wanted to introduce our baby. Stats...


The best coach/husband anyone could ask for...

Sweet Jackson...who I could stare at all day!

On our way home!!

More pictures are will posted soon....
