It's Daddy's Baby!

These Are A Few of My Favorite Things

Jackson has developed some new interests (aside from breastfeeding). He's becoming quite the active little guy and it is wearing me out! This is a welcome development though, and a nice departure from rocking, walking and feeding him constantly. His current hobbies include a modified form of crawling, swinging at the park in Mt. Laurel, and playing in the bath tub.

"Transport me to a nice warm bath. Oh, and be sure to provide cup for me to chew on". These are the orders I am regularly receiving from the Maharjah these days. I think water is relaxing to him---nice to know since I have been in a desperate search of ways to calm and sooth this baby since day one. He isn't a bit scared to get his face wet. I discovered this the other day when he wouldn't quit turning his head back and forth when I was rinsing his hair. His nosiness was trying to see what I was doing with the rinsy cup and ended up getting a full load of water all down his face! He didn't even flinch. Maybe this means he will love to go swimming. Note to self--one GOOD way to wear this baby out!!

SWING!!!!

A trip to the park to swing has become a nearly daily event for us. He LOOOOOVES it! The first time I put him in this little swing (which is a little large for him), he laughed hysterically and then held his breath every time I pushed the swing. How cute!!

After accidentally driving in reverse a few times and furiously pawning and prowling at the hardwood floors for several days, this little guy has learned to crawl! It's more of an army crawl or a foxhole drag, but it counts! Believe me, it counts all right. He's already stuck his nosey nose in the fireplace, underneath the coffee table, in between the computer wires---don't even get me started. I'm working furiously to baby proof the house. He's beat me to the chase. This baby proofing job is not an easy one either. You have to read the descriptions very carefully or you'll purchase a gate that isn't long enough, sturdy enough, tall enough, or whatever. Try to take stuff back to the store when you're working and have a baby this age. Wish me luck. I'll need all I can get.
