Life in General

So here is my first attempt at blogging...I'd like to say that I will keep it updated on a regular basis so as not to disappoint anyone, but let's face it. I'm a procrastinator and mostly technologically retarded, so I'm lucky to get this first one out here!

Jackson is getting SO big, every day. It's like I can see him growing in front of my own eyes. He's sleeping through the night, and when I say "through the night" I don't mean just six to eight hours. He sleeps better than me, better than Chris, and better than Dalton (who I thought was the best sleeper ever, until now). Jackson will sleep from 10 pm until 10 am, easy. I have to wake him up in the morning to eat. Now that's impressive.













Dalton is still incredibly, undeniably, in love with his brother. Everything that Jackson does is either funny, cute, sweet, or just plain cool to Dalton. I can only hope and pray that this continues until the boys are well on their way to being little old men. I can be in the other room and hear Jackson start to cry. And when I come in to get him, here sits Dalton either giving him a Binky, or singing to him, or rocking his little chair back and forth. I am surprised that there has been no jealously for the most part.



Dalton, of course, is still just as much a ham as he ever was. In fact, I think he's more of a ham now, because he plays it up for his brother! We're having fun everyday on his new Computer Cool School, which has fun games that he learns instantaneously. We still have fun with Daddy with pillow fights and building towers and pretending that Daddy is a giant that we have to get away from. And we also have fun when Dalton wants to blow dry his own hair, which seems to be all the time now. He is getting to be so independent, and hardly ever wants our help with anything.



I cannot even begin to describe how lucky I am to have this wonderful family that we have created. Who knew that I would be a pretty good mom, a decent cook, and a fairly good house wife??

  3. Wow... bravo Nancy! I can't fathom keeping up, but it seems that you are doing it with little effort. And since I have yet to come over and see the baby, I guess this is the only way that I will keep in touch! By the way....
    GREAT writing! - Laura
