Dear Jackson,
You are one month old already! Your dad and I cannot believe how fast the past four weeks have flown by. You have already changed so much and are growing so fast. You are such a good baby and even though we've had a few rough nights, overall you are pretty easy going. You now weigh 5 pounds and 11 ounces and have grown 1 1/2 inches in length. Some of your outfits are too short already!
You keep us on a pretty good schedule, but here lately you've been wanting more to eat than usual so you must be going through a growth spurt. We're so thankful! We still have not been able to take you out to meet people, but several more weeks and you should be able to greet the masses. Well, okay, maybe not the masses because I'm a little bit particular, but still you should be able to get out and about with us so we can show you off just a bit!
You like to lay on your dad or I's chest after you have eaten and sometimes you don't like it when we lay you down in your own bed. Other times you don't mind, so it must depend on your mood. You make all kinds of facial expressions, which I think you inherited from me. You have your dad's forehead and chin. We are anxious to see who you end up looking like as you get older.
You make more grunting noises than any baby I have ever been around. The first night we had you home we got absolutely no sleep because we thought something was wrong. Now we know it's just your thing and not to worry. You are getting so much stronger and can lift your head up really well. You love it when Daddy reads the Shawn Michaels story (yes, Shawn Michaels the wrestler) and when Mommy sings worship songs to you. We're so proud!
You are opening your eyes more and more and starting to be able to focus just a little on us when we feed you. You constantly look as if you are smiling at us - it might just be a reflex at this point, but we'll take what we can get.
We love you more than you will ever know and are so glad that God gave you to us. We are learning every day how to take better care of you.
One funny thing (among so many) - you have peed in your face more times than I care to admit. Bless your heart! We are so sorry .. we are learning that you have to be quick, quick, quick with the diaper changing!
We pray you always know how much we love you! We can't wait to see what God has in store for your life as you grow.
Love,
Mommy

HAHAHA!!!! I laughed out loud when I read that he's peeing on his face! As long as he grows out of it and doesn't poop in his pants when he's on a date with his future wife at the age of 23 (I don't know who would do that....). It sounds like God is continuing to answer our prayers! We're back in town so let me know if there's anything I can do for you!
Love,
Ashley A
