Sir Smiles-a-lot

So Mr. Jackson Lee decided one day to have a heart to heart with his mother. 7 weeks and already trying to gab...he really is his father's son. Take a look.

Jackson brings in the high numbers again....

So yesterday Jackson had his one month check up appointment. Dr. Suzuki said he was doing great and even weighs enough for us to start the self-soothing process....Yeah! She said that he has more then enough fat to allow him to go longer in between feedings. Although we were glad to hear that, it did bring up the question then, how much does he weigh?

Any guesses? I guessed 11lbs. 2 oz.........yeah, I was wrong! Mr. Jackson Lee Casteel is currently weighing in at 12lbs. 7 oz. Just for the record, that puts him in the 97% percentile! That's right only 3% of American children are bigger then our son at his age. Can we say hockey player anyone (-:

Has it been a month?

So I was in church today when one of the ladies asked how old our not so little one was. I opened my mouth to say the amount of weeks when I realized, oh my goodness, it has been a month! That's right, Jackson Lee is now a month old. It has been an interesting one so far. He's a little colic which has been a good test of our patience. So far we've passed (-: He doesn't really care for anything like a swing or bouncer. He only wants one thing.....to be held! He is very needy. I must say, it is nice as a mom to have a son who wants nothing more then my attention and love but at 3:00 in the morning, even mommy needs sleep. He has his one month appointment tomorrow and we can't wait to see what our little chub is going to weigh in at. Also his Auntie Vee got to see him today which meant a lot to us all! Well that's it for now!

P.S.

The girls wanted me to tell Lela and Pops that they miss them and can't wait for them to come home. Also they wanted me to tell their one and only cousin Dena "hi" and and they love her!
