Finally Getting Some Rest!

That's right! Finally, I feel rested! Dan was an angel over the weekend. He took the baby shift both Friday and Saturday nights allowing me to sleep more than 7 STRAIGHT hours! It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Plus, after talking with my friend Carly, we went and bought a co-sleeper bed for Jackson, which has worked wonders! Since Friday night we have both slept with him in the spare bedroom without having to hold him. Hooray! We also got him a new play mat, which he's still getting used to. Here he is, all 9 lbs. 2 ounces of him! (Have I mentioned he has a healthy appetite)?



And, here's DJ with his baby brother... now that he's getting bigger... he's more comfortable holding him. It was so sweet. Jackson's eyes got so wide and he just kept staring at his big brother.




Our little guy has also been feeling better ever since we've been helping him with his gassy problem. It's the like 4th of July down there when we pump his legs and he's been so much happier ever since.


Also over the weekend, DJ marched in his bands March-a-thon Saturday morning. Lucky for us, the parade route came right by our house...


The band sounded GREAT! It was really fun to watch them march and play, plus they raised a lot of money. Dan shot some video, so hopefully we'll get that up on line for you to see. And, Monday was a big day for DJ too... he got his first pay check at Godfathers!


Tomorrow we're going to open his very first bank account! He says he's saving up for several things... an ipod... a lap top... and other small things. We're so proud of him.

I also took Jackson to show him off to the book club ladies last night. He was a perfect angel and a big hit! They held him, played with him and loved him and he was in heaven! Plus, he was awake the whole time, which made for a good night's sleep again last night. And, the ladies surprised me with a basket of baby books for Jackson! So sweet! We cannot wait to start reading to him.


Then, this morning I called into the station and did an update with Dan, which was fun. I talked about how wonderful sleeping has been... to which Jackson woke up about 5 minutes later... darn jinxing myself! Now we're playing and watching ENews. Tis' a good day.
