Jackson's First Week

Posted on February 25, 2008 06:45 by Sharla
Jackson is 1 week old today -- and this past week has gone by so fast!  He's already changed so much -- his complexion has evened out, he's lost most of the rashes he was born with, and he's lost his orange "tint."  He's also spitting up much less than the first couple of days, and he sometimes eats 3 ounces instead of the 1-2 we started with at first.  We've already discovered so many things about his personality, and I'm sure each week will bring new things as he continues to develop.

Jackson had a lot of visitors in his first week --- Grammy, Pappy, Maw-Maw, Aunt Angie, Cousin Nathan, Uncle Alan & Aunt Stephanie, Christy, Grandmother Collins, Christopher & Kara, the Badgetts, Amy & Joel, and Ben.  He's been oohed and ahhed over all week!  Here are some pictures of him with friends and family:

Jackson also had a lot of other firsts this week -- first outing (to my Moms in Motion class at the hospital at 2 days old), first ride in the car from the hospital, first diaper change by Dad, etc.  Here are some pictures of his first bath at home (all parties involved survived with minimal emotional trauma - haha!):








Jackson also had his first photo shoot with Joel & Amy this weekend -- we got some great shots, and will post some soon!

Looking forward to next week -- Jackson has his 1 week check up at the pediatrician.  We're also hoping to get out and take a few walks, weather permitting.  Other than that, still enjoying our time with the little man!!

I do love those bath pictures, especially the closeup. He was definitely not a happy camper. What a precious little boy we have.

I am going to say he looks more like Sharla. I am pretty sure I saw her make that same cry face after I beat her at monopoly once....
