Jackson is 6 months old today!

Well today is a wonderful day in our house. Our sweet baby boy is 6 months old today. I can't believe it really time has flown so fast. It seems like yesterday that I was big huge pregnant and just wanting to hold him for the 1st time. But this half year has been so full of memories that have made me laugh and cry. My first real memory occurred before we left the operating room. I got to watch them hand Jackson to his Daddy and I watched as Chad walked out of the OR carrying Jackson. It looked like the most natural thing for both of them. Jackson had been screaming in the OR but in his Daddy's arms he was quiet and calm. And my most recent memory was when I walked into his room at 9:13 this morning (he was born at 9:13 am) a he looked up from his bed and gave me the biggest smile ever. He makes my heart melt with that smile, and those eyes, and those dimples wow those dimples!!!

We are also so blessed to have such a happy and healthy boy. Knock on wood but Jackson has not been sick at all. He had a stuffy nose for about 2 days and other than that he has not been sick at all. He eats wonderfully and rarely ever turns down any baby food. In addition, most nights he sleeps through the night till around 6:00. And have I mentioned that smile!!!

So of course to document the occasion I took a few pictures of Jackson this afternoon to share with you all. Thanks to all of you who have kept up with Jackson's life over the past 6 months. Your comments have kept me motivated to keep blogging. I have also decided (thanks Peyton J. for the idea) to print out all of the blogs and put them into some sort of book form to keep for the future. Being a boy he will probably never wanna read it but when he is 16 and driving me crazy I can look back to a sweeter time....
