Bumbo Time!

For those of you who don't know what a Bumbo is take a look at Jackson sitting in one. It is the coolest thing, it is a soft chair that helps babies sit up starting at three months. I couldn't resist putting Jackson in it for a few quick photos! We even have a tray that attaches to it so we can use it for snacks when Jackson gets older. The picture where he is making a funny face in is because Milo got a quick lick on his face. :-) It is one of my favorite things and I'm sure will come in handy very soon. Thanks to Vickie and Lindsay for the Bumbo!!

Jackson's new pal

Jackson has found a new friend. He loves this adorable bunny in a blankie from my Aunt Denises' mom Mona. It came from a store in Washington called Bunnies by the Bay. I went on their website to see about ordering another one, and found out that Angelina Jolie has shopped there for her kids....They have a location in NYC in FAO Schwartz, and Washington State, luckily for the Internet I can have one delivered in a week! He holds on to it so tight in his car seat, and when he is really tired all it takes it the soft ears to brush up on him and he's out! Thanks Mona! Jackson loves his bunny!

Goodbye Baby Weight!!

The picture to the right was taken on Monday December 15th on our way to the hospital.
The second picture was taken on Saturday December 13th before Jackson was born (he was born on Tuesday). I gained 18 lbs with Jackson and he weighed 8lbs 2 oz at birth. My mom and I have been going to Weight Watchers every Tuesday since the beginning of the year. Last Tuesday I officially lost all my "baby weight". I am so happy and it was totally easy with the help of weight watchers! I still have some weight to lose especially from the two vacations to Maui and Italy before I got pregnant but I am on track...... especially since I can't have dairy thanks to Jackson the best trainer I have ever had!! I posted these pictures for my friend Ashley who wanted to see some prego pictures, enjoy Ash!!

Holy Catch-up Batman!!

Wow! I can't believe February is over...... I have been so busy lately I have been neglecting the blog so be prepared for a bunch on catch-up posts! Jackson will be 11 weeks on Tuesday. Jackson had his 2 month check-up on the 16th. He is in the 75% percentile for his height and 25% percentile for his weight. Jackson has some of the Anderson genes (my mom's side of the family) they are all tall and thin. After having some issues with his stool (to be polite!) and just some overall fussiness, we discovered that Jackson is allergic to dairy. Dr. Lloren would like to see him bigger since he was a nice large baby at birth, so we have to supplement him with very expensive formula as I have to cut out all dairy from my diet.....yes ALL dairy! It was tough at first but we have seen a huge improvement in Jackson so the payoff is worth it. I even skipped out on delicious Freeport Bakery Wedding cake at our friends Tim and Julie's wedding reception! We go back to the doctors tomorrow to check Jackson's weight. I will keep everyone posted!!
