9.5 weeks Jameson is growing so quickly...about 2 lbs/month to be exact! He now weighs 10.8lbs and 23.5inches long. His 2 month check up went wonderfully; Ryan and I were commended on how well we were doing. (What a relief!) Jameson got 2 shots this time. After the initial pain he quickly went right back to smiling, me on the other hand continued crying for a while! Jameson has met all his milestones this month: cooing, smiling, following an object 6 inches away and responding to loud noises in some way. He has found his hands/fists and often tries to comfort himself by sucking on them when his pacifier falls out. Jameson has such a sweet smile! One way that I can always get him to smile is to touch above his lip and talk about the mustache he'll have someday. I'm not sure why this is so funny to him but if that doesn't work talking about his "beard" works! Funny little boy! He's quickly outgrowing outfits with footies so I've been putting him in "big boy pants". I thought I wouldn't like him in those type of clothes because he wouldn't look so babyish but I have found that he is so adorable in jeans and cargo pants!
I have decided that I want nothing more than to be a stay at home mom. I feel good that I have finally made my decision official and excited to start this life with Jameson. I spent my first full day away from him today because I went to a conference through work. It was so hard being away from him. All the way home I was thinking "I'm even excited to get home to change his diaper!" When I got home I picked him up and cried and felt confident in the decision I made about staying home. I will certainly miss working/teaching but there is so much I want to teach Jameson!

7.5 Weeks old: Jameson is growing up and becoming so much more alert and interactive! He is now almost holding his head up by himself, getting on more of a consistent schedule (I say that now, so I'm sure he'll change it all on me tomorrow!)and my favorite...he's SMILING! I now spend all his awake time (well, that he's not eating)trying to make him smile! It is so nice to have another emotion besides crying that he can express! We have recorded a little video of him smiling so I just have to figure out how to edit it and get it on here, but it's coming soon so stay tuned! Last week he went through a major growth spurt which kept me busy with constant feedings! Now this week I have had to put away many of his clothes because they no longer fit (sad!). Jameson and I are becoming a lot more mobile! We went shopping for several hours this past week, I even fed him in a parking lot! Oh how far we've come! I took him to my dentist appointment which lasted for an hour and he did GREAT! He mostly slept though the whole appointment; what a relief! I was so proud of him! I'm getting so anxious to get him outside so I can take him on walks now that the weather is getting warmer! I hope to be buying a stroller soon!
