Jackson- 3 months old!

Tuesday marked Jackson's "12-week old birthday". Wow...his personality has really developed over these last few weeks from "newborn fussy" to "content, happy baby". It seems that both he and Lily were fairly fussy in the first few weeks until their vision improved, and now it's a whole new world! I have determined I have very curious and energetic children that want to be a part of the world...and NOW!

Jackson is now cooing and having "conversations" with us all the time. He loves his activity mat...especially the star that lights up in the middle and enjoys smiling and cooing at it. He is batting at the birds that dangle from it as well. He has excellent head control and does great with tummy time. As I have mentioned before he LOVES looking up. In fact, it is difficult to get a picture with him of his head upright without him arching backward toward the ceiling! He has also figured out that Daddy has two deer heads hanging on our wall. He loves to smile at them and has a look of concentration as if to suggest he is thinking, "Now how do I get one of those?!" I think Justin is enjoying his son's interest!

We are really enjoying all of his grins and occasional giggles. Jackson is completely enamored with his big sister Lily. Every time she enters the room, he follows her with this eyes and loves her attention.

We have no doubt that once he figures out his crawling coordination, he will be GONE! I'm thinking we may need to baby-proof our house a little more this time around :-)

Enjoy a few recent "happy Jackson" pictures!
