Funny boy

My little Jackson is such a funny sleeper. He is a good sleeper now (sleeps through the night, yeah! Takes 3 hour naps, yeah!) thank goodness, but when I go in to check on him he is always in the cutest positions.

This was taken a few weeks ago. We keep his crib in our bedroom for naps, and here he is with his feet out the side.

And he is often found in this position. Here he is in his pre-church nap, all dressed and ready to go - and caboose sticking up in the air.

Today I remembered that he's been doing this bum in the air sleep position for a while now,

this is him at 4 months old.

What a sweety.

Go to sleep baby

On the way to church!

His hair sure looks red in this picture! But no, he has brownish blond hair. What a cutie.

I'm considering making this cutie cry it out through the night this weekend. Just the thought makes me sad - but something needs to be done to change his sleeping habits of waking up a minimum of 4 times a night! Last night he woke up 1, 2, 3, 4 - 5 times! 5! I'm so tired all the time, and can't function on 3 hours of sleep while managing a home and working part time any more. Of course David wakes up with him too - so that makes us both zombies.

What do you all think about the "crying it out" thing, or do you have any better ideas? Please share!

Bad Blogger

I've been such a bad blogger lately. So much has been going on - which sadly means nothing gets posted. Here are a few highlights.

• Baby has been sleeping for longer periods during the night. I try keeping him awake a little more during the day, and by 9 pm this is what he looks like. Don't worry, I let him sleep right after this picture was taken!

• He was blessed this passed Sunday - and I'll have to post pictures of that later since the photos are on everyone else's cameras. My sister Becky came to visit from Seattle, which was a surprise and a treat! She brought her baby Lindsay who is 10 months old very cute.

• Becky and her husband Jon are masters in the art of swaddling their babies. She gave me a lesson. Somehow during this swaddling attempt Jackson managed to wrangle out one of his little arms.

• Jasper is such a good cousin to Jackson. He loves him dearly and is very cute with him. He is a very good helper and loves to kiss and hold him. Here he is reading to him. Jackson looks very enthralled, don't you think?
