Just 2 guys and we're havin' a good time...

Jackson had his 5 month old doctor's appointment yesterday- well actually his 4 month appointment, but we've been pretty consistently a month behind due to scheduling difficulties.  For those of you keeping stats on our baby at home (hopefully not in a creepy way): he is now 17 lbs 11oz (somewhere between the 50th and 75th percentile) and 27" long (95th percentile).  His head is still pretty big- he inherited that from both his bigheaded grandfathers!  


Jackson and I have got to spend a lot more time together over the past few weeks, especially on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons when Heather is at work.  We do fun guy stuff like watch soccer games on TV, sing songs, talk about guy stuff, and of course, take naps.  Jackson, Lincoln (our dog) and I have also started running together so that Link and I can get some exercise.  I don't have any pictures of that because it's hard to push a jogging stroller, hold a leash and take a picture at the same time without injury.  




Here's us two guys taking a nap after a long night at work.  Well, for Jackson this is a nap after a long night of sleep, but it is hard work being a growing baby.  He has no problem sleeping during daylight.  I, however, require a faceshirt.   

More sleep!  Here's our boy sleeping in the church nursery during the Good Friday service.   He has found that the best way to avoid germs in the nursery is just to pretend you are sleeping then the other kids don't think you are being rude for not wanting to play.

  Here you can see the large round head that he inherited from his grandfathers.

And here is bath time with splashes!

I've been working in the pediatric intensive care unit this month (PICU) and it makes me realize how fortunate we are to have a healthy and happy baby when sometimes it seems there is no rhyme or reason when it comes to bad things happening to helpless kids.  We are so thankful for our little boy.
