Let's see, this month Jackson and I took a road trip to Fresno to visit some friends. He did AMAZINGLY well. He slept pretty much the whole car ride, woke once to eat, and was excellent while Kelly and I were running around everywhere, perfectly happy to just go along for the ride! But boy was Mama exhausted after that trip, it is hard to do things without Daddy!!
We also got our first cold, that spread through the household. Poor guy was so stuff he had trouble sleeping at night (poor Mama!). So he had his first does of antibiotics. He recovered in a little less than a week, must faster than I did! He also has his first round of shots, which he took like a champ! Very little crying, and he didn't seem to have any major adverse effects of it all.
I have also gotten very into Babywearing with him. Being home alone during the day, it is a great way to get things done while still giving him the attention he deserves. Yesterday I also discovered it was the only way I can make him nap during the day. Up until now we had been having LOTS of trouble getting him to sleep during the day, from a bunch of factors, and I think we finally figured out the formula yesterday!
Jackson has gotten more and more vocal as well, and it getting better coordination with his arms, being able to hit the toys on his activity mat with purpose now!
Here is a video of it
He is also cracking himself up during the day, we get smiles all around. No laughs yet, but I think they're coming!!
That's pretty much the update of the month. I'm looking forward to October, we have lots of fun things going on, and Halloween!!!
