Jack's First Swim!

We decided the water was warm enough now to see how Jackson likes swimming... he did great! He didn't know what to think at first but we can tell he is going to LOVE the water!

Daddy and Jack

Mommy and Jack

Jackson's first time in his Crab...

Jackson was getting tired of holding his head up and he wanted to taste the crab to make sure he liked it :)

Father's Day

Ryan had a great first Father's Day... actually a great Father's Day weekend! Friday night we went with Grandma and Grandpa to Red's - it was great and Grandma got to feed Jackson :)

Saturday Ryan played golf with his friends and then spent time with Jack while I went to Joey's Bachelorette party... don't worry, I was home early! Today we took Baba, Gransie and Kevin to lunch at BJ's Brewhouse where Ryan and Baba got commemorative glasses and a chance to win a golf package... hope they win! Jackson was being good so we were able to take some pictures before he got bored with that!

Jackson is saying "Go Daddy!"

The Donahue Boys - see any resemblance?!

The only picture where we could get all 3 looking at the camera... Jackson follows directions better than Baba and Daddy!

Happy Father's Day Daddy, Baba and Grandpa!!

9 weeks

Jackson turned 9 weeks on Thursday and had his checkup too. He is 12lbs 2oz and 23 inches long. (They think they might have measured wrong at his last check up because he is doing great and growing just fine)

He is SO strong. Here is his first adventure in his bumbo... still early yet but he already holds his head up for a long time!

Doctor Visit / Day Care

No pics today - just a quick update...
Today was VERY tough for me - let's just say there were a FEW tears this morning leaving Jackson. I went downstairs to visit multiple times - I LOVE that he is so close :)

Jackson is having some trouble eating so I took him to the Doctor today - basically Mommy is cutting Chocolate and Dairy out of her diet to see if either of those are the culprit... most of you know that these are 2 of my most favorite foods so I'm struggling a bit. Next week Jackson has his check up and if his eating isn't better than we might try acid reflux medicine.
The good news is that some how he is STILL eating plenty...

CURRENT WEIGHT (at 8 weeks): 12 lbs 6 oz - my big boy!!

Jackson's Baptism

Jackson was baptized on Sunday, June 7th 2009. Many of our wonderful friends and family shared this very special moment and we were happy they could be there. Jackson was as good as a 7 week old is expected to be with crying only half the time ;) He wore the same outfit that Daddy and Uncle Kevin both wore and looked adorable! It's a good thing we had him baptized when we did because if we had waited any longer that outfit would not have fit! He is getting so big and I will be sure to update you all after his next checkup.

Jackson goes to daycare tomorrow and mommy goes back to work :( I have already teared up a few times today so I know tomorrow will be pretty tough. The good thing is that he is in my building and I can see him whenever I want. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes... wish me luck!
