Jack's Intro. to Solid Foods

Jackson is a starving boy, and since he hasn't been a very good nurser since he started teething, we decided to introduce him to solid foods. We gave him some baby rice cereal, and at first he made a super sour face, but by the end he started liking it. He is a growing baby! He's rolled over from his front to his back and his back to his tummy now. He's getting more and more fun everyday. This past weekend we went up to Glide to visit John's parents, which was a fun little break for us, and Jackson just loves his Aunt Heather (John's 11 year old sister). He kept giggling and smiling at her the whole time. It was very cute. We took him swimming while we were there and discovered that we have a little fish for a baby..... well with his high pitched screaming it's more of like a little baby orcha. We dunked him under the water a couple of times to see how he would react and to get him used to it, and he just came up blinking with no complains! He's a kicker and a slasher too! He's definitely gonna be a great athlete! He's a good little guy and we sure love him lots!

Jackson

Just a little update of the little guy: Jack is doing great! He's been a little bit cranky lately, but we found out after taking him to the doctor's office that he is teething! It's rare for a 3 month old to already be teething, but it can definitely happen. On his lower gums you can see a little white dot. I can't believe he'd already getting teeth! Crazy. Besides that he is doing well. He just keeps growing and is starting to do more and more. He talks (just blabbering to himself) all the time now, and smiles at everyone who starts talking to him. He's already becoming a little lady's man. :) His hair is growing longer and thicker on top, but it's not really growing in the back of his head where his bald spot is, so it looks pretty funny from the back angle. He's starting to sleep 8-10 hours at night, which is sooooo nice. He loves his blanky, and for some reason he always pulls it over his head when he sleeps. We can't tell if he just likes the feel of it on his face or if he just really likes the dark! Even after he falls asleep I will go and pull it down off his face, and 5 mins. later when I go check on him again.... he's pulled it back up, in his sleep! He's a silly, but good baby, and we love him! Oh, and don't forget to scroll all the way to the bottom of this page because there are pictures down there also that are easily missed. And that's our Jackson Jeffrey update!

Jack's New Crib

This week we finally bought Jack a crib! We set it all up this morning, and I have to say, it looks good! Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Baron (my, Steph's, grandparents) we were able to buy a very nice, sturdy crib that will hopefully last us through all of our kids. And thank you, mom, for getting us the very cute bumper, sheets, quilt and whole crib set that is just soooo cute! It made the crib look super cute, and Jack loves it! We are very excited to have it and are grateful to have such kind, loving and supportive family. Thanks again to all those who helped us with the crib!

Go Ducks!!

Saturday was a great day! John's parents came up to Eugene to watch Jack and Reagan (our niece) so that Nick & Christi (John's older brother & his wife) and John and I could go to the Duck's basketball game. It was their last game of the season, senior night, and it also was against our biggest rivals, the Oregon State Beavers. And of course, we kicked their butts! We beat them 70-49..... by 21 points! It was a very fun game and season. Aaron Brooks finished as the top scorer in the PAC 10 with an average of 18 points per game. We're sure gonna miss him next year. The stadium where the Duck's play, Mac court, aka The Pitt, is a block away..... we could walk to the game in 5 mins. It's a lot of fun living right by campus, and we are looking forward to track season now. Hopefully the Duck's will keep playing really well in the tournament! Go Ducks!
