3 months

As of yesterday, Jackson is 3 months old!  He's definitely growing, and becoming very interactive, which is so much fun to see.  He smiles a lot, coos, and almost laughs.  He mostly keeps his eyes on Mom, but enjoys watching Dad and his big brothers some, too.  :)  We had a miserable day on Monday - lots of crying inconsolably and hardly any napping.  But, yesterday Jackson was like a completely different baby.  Not just different from the day before, but different from the whole first three months.  He actually napped!  For like a couple hours at a time!!  This is completely unheard of with him.  As much as I was doing my best to get used to and work with the 20-30 minute naps, there were still times that it was very frustrating, so I sure hope we've turned a corner here.  Just a few minutes ago he had been napping for about 45 minutes and woke up, but I WAS ABLE TO GET HIM TO GO BACK TO SLEEP IN HIS BED.  This is huge (in case you can't tell).  Holding my breath that we're starting on a new trend of taking longer naps...  Jackson had been eating 6x a day still, but with his long naps yesterday he dropped a feeding and still made it through the night fine.  And, oh yeah, I can't forget this part (because Jackson will really appreciate this someday) - for the last month he's pooped only every 2-3 days.  On the one hand it's nice to mostly only change wet diapers, but when that one dirty comes, boy oh boy!!  Yikes!  It's not a nice one.  And, he never does it for Mike, only me.

One of the fun conversations we've had with the boys lately is about all the things they can do when they're adults and have their own house.  You know, things like jump on the couch, eat whatever they want, jump off the top bunk, etc.  Mike even made sure to point out that they can even bulldoze their house if they want, but they CAN'T burn it down as that's illegal.  :)

This morning Caleb and Logan had a two hour delay for school.  Unfortunately, I didn't discover that until I got there and the parking lot was empty.  Not only that, we somehow got loaded up early today, so I drove around a bit before heading to school!  I ended up getting groceries with all four.  Not ideal, but we managed.  :)  That was actually the first time I've taken them all with me to the store.
