Jackson Update

Been a while since my last blog. So much has happened - mainly with Jackson!

First, he is five and a half months old. WHAT? How did this happen?
Currently...
- he eats 6 oz of formula in every bottle
- he loves applesauce mixed with oatmeal or rice cereal (we tried butternut squash and sweet potato, but he does not love that as much...unless it's mixed with applesauce).
- he is between 6- and 9-month clothing - right now, my favorite outfit of his is a Christmas onesie with an elf-like hat
- he is starting to sit up on his own - still topples over from being top-heavy, but he is trying
- he LOVES his jungle gym - looking up, giggling, cooing, and interacting with the animals and music
- he kind of blows rasperries at you if you do it to him
- he wears Size 3 diapers
- I am guessing at this time he is around 20 pounds
- We bought him this Swedish gadget called the NoseFrida. It sucks the snot out. Well, I suck the snot out. Gross but effective.

As I've written before, being a mom is so awesome, but I've never been so tired in my life. Jacks is currently teething (?) and he likes to stay awake and be held. We can NOT sit with him - he likes to stand.

Alright - enough for now. More observations later. Heading to Ohio on Saturday for a whirlwind trip - 10+ hours in a car each way with a baby - YAY!
