Time flies! I can't believe that Jackson is already 6 months old! Here are some DARLING pictures that Travis took of him a couple of weeks ago...
We had our 6 months check-up and I was surprised to find out that although he is a healthy and growing baby, he wasn't as big as I thought he would be comparatively speaking...16lbs 4 oz (30th percentile), 25.25 inches long (15th percentile) and 17.25 in head circumference (50 percentile)
The perfect description of him right now is PURE JOY! Jackson can bring a smile to anybody's face at anytime. He is such a happy baby. He is babbling up a storm, sitting up on his own, rolling over all directions (it's especially cute when he rolls over and over towards where one of us is sitting!) He is eating oatmeal cereal and trying lots of new fruits and vegetables. He loves the little Gerber puff snacks and if we show one to him he will grab our hand and pull it towards his mouth (he doesn't quite have the fine motor skills to feed himself one yet although he does try.) In the last week or so he has decided that he would rather sleep on his belly than his back and if we put him back onto his back he rolls back to his belly within moments. He loves to play with mommy and daddy, watch the dogs, giggle, talk to family on the webcam, jump in his doorway jumper, and even has a ticklish spot underneath his chin!
It is amazing watching his development and to think that it was only a little over 6 months ago that he came into this world. He has grown so fast and taught us both so much! I can't even say how much we love our little boy and we can't wait to continue to relish in each and every moment!

Holy crap he's getting big! We really need to see each other more often. I love the photos with the hat- he looks awesome!The new family photo is cute as well- i checked out your about us and you look beautiful in that photo. Did you have him blessed and never say anything to us? We need a really good and long chat fest :)
cute kid, great pics.
Oh I love him! I still can't get over his little hat in those pics. Darling!
I check out this blog quite a bit. It never fails to deliver a pick-me-up. 26 years ago we were also this excited about Sarah and Erin.
Super cute- even Brian likes him and he does not like kids! Kisses.
