7 Weeks Old and Momma Has Finals

In hindsight I realize that I probably should have waited until the end of this semester to begin Jackson's blog. I have been utterly consumed with trying to prepare for finals and find little time to blog! Regardless, I have decided to do a short little update today.
Jackson Daniel will be 7 weeks old tomorrow. He's almost 2 months! I can't believe how much our baby has changed since we brought him home. He is alert more everyday and loves to interact. He's getting the smiling thing down, although I feel like it is impossible to get a picture of this sweet image I have hopes that I will catch him by surprise one of these days.
Jackson loves his mobile and will stay entertained by it for longer periods of time each day. I love this opportunity to to watch him and to get things done (like the laundry and dishes that seem to pile higher on a daily basis ;) ).


He gets so excited watching these little bears go round and round.


Staring them down with such intensity.

By the time Jackson is 2 months this semester will be over and I will have considerably more time to reflect on and observe my baby. I feel a bit guilty that my attention has been pulled in so many directions while my little boy is growing up in front of my eyes. I know that continuing my education is important though and it really is the best for all of us in the long run.

Awww..he seems to really like watching things. Story has always been an observer too. Maybe they'll get along. :-)

Hang in there. The semester is coming to a close!!!

The semster will be over soon, and you will have lots of time to catch him smiling and get pictures. I can't wait to see them.
