Last football season, I got a pillow with that saying on it from our head football coach's wife - Debbie McGuire. I thought it was hilarious....then I found out it was true. Football season has officially started in the Jackson household as of today. Jeremy returned to coaching and I told Jax this morning when he left - "Say bye bye to daddy, he'll be back in December" So good luck Cedar Hill Longhorns.
Jeremy has had the opportunity to watch Jax for the past 3 weeks as I went back to work. Its been interesting but I'm glad he gets that time with Jax during the summers. I got home yesterday and Jeremy was sitting in his usual chair with Jax and spit up all down his red shirt. I thought it was hilarious and of course had to get a picture.
Everyone is always saying my little man looks like his father so I got a picture of my two boys as well.....aren't they precious.
And finally for Jax's latest update. The whole family went to the pediatrician last week for Jax's two month check up....this was a rough day for all of us. He is now weighing in at 13lbs 14oz and is 24 inches long - that's right, he's 2 months and the doctor said he's on track with a 3 1/2 month old. He's going to be a big boy! He also received his first 4 shots and I don't know who cried more, me or him. Jeremy had to hold him down while that mean ol' nurse shot his poor little legs up. That was the worst thing I've ever seen! He ran a little temperature that day and slept and cried...it wasn't fun but dad was there to take care of him.
Jax has made a lot of progress as well in the past couple of weeks. He holds his head up so well but not solid all the time yet. He talks and smiles all the time which is so cute. He's starting to suck his fingers when he's hungry....very loudly. He doesn't really cry anymore when he's hungry in the middle of the night - all I hear is sucking and know its time to eat. He sleeps between 5-6 hours at night so that's getting better too. At 9 weeks he rolled over from tummy to back for the first time. I was shocked but it was so cute. He's not taking morning naps too well but does a great job after his 1pm feeding with a 3 hour nap so I guess I can't complain.
I've put him in this seat a few times and all he does is scream. This was the first time he didn't scream and actually stayed in it for about 10 minutes just looking around. It was so funny. And lastly, I've got very exciting news about myself. After much consideration and stress about Jax staying with other people while I'm at work, I've been able to work out my schedule to only do hair 3 days a week - Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays. Now my sister only watches him 2 days a week and my mother-in-law will watch him on Saturdays. This gives me more time with my son and less time at work. But I'll be working long days on Mondays and Tuesdays to make up for not being there the other days. I'm so excited. As I sit here and write this now, I'm done with work for the rest of the week and don't go back until next Wednesday. I love being self employed and love my clients but I want to be there for Jax as much as possible. Well, that it for now, we'll keep you posted!
