He is starting to get some smiles out. "They" say that babies aren't supposed to be able to socially smile for the first 6 weeks or so, but this morning we were hanging out and he gave me like 3 while he was looking straight at me. That's gotta be real!
We went to the doctor last week for his 2-week check up and he had gained 4 oz and grown 1.5 inches! He is in the 90th percentile for height at 22 inches and the 50th percentile for weight at 8 lbs 6 oz. :) Tall and skinny...I'm sure those genes came from me...
This one is from this morning:
More hanging out today:
Jeff was watching Jackson yesterday morning while I took a shower and wrapped him up just like he likes. He hung out like this for a while then fell right to sleep on our bed:
This was a couple weeks ago...Sunday nap with dad:
I was doing so well at posting pictures of the house when we were in full remodel mode...we've made a lot of progress and it's looking great - here are updated pictures.
You might not remember the 'before' picture of this room, but it used to be completely empty - just yucky linoleum on the floor. It has really come around. I LOVE having the washer and dryer upstairs (they used to be in the basement), and I also LOVE these cabinets which came with the house, but they were UGLY brown and out of date. Nothing a little paint didn't fix!
Our bedroom:
The next 3 pictures are of the living room. It looks so much better than it did!
I wanted you to be able to see the crown molding. Jeff put it up, as well as the baseboards and door casings. I love it. Luckily you can also see our totally modern and up-to-date ceiling fan. :)
And last but not least, here is a little video of our little one. Just as a warning, it's a pretty boring video unless you're a nana who lives far away - this one's for you Nana. :)

xoxoxox
can;t wait to hold this baby again and make lasting bonds so he knows forever and ever that I am his favorite auntie!!!
Oh sister....this is NOT just for Nana! This little man has a couple of Aunties and a little cousing (Hud) who got a real kick out of this video. Those were the most precious little smiles I have ever seen..."they" must not have had very happy babies. Love you sister, and I love this little man! See you sooooon!
He IS a total gem! Very cute! And I am of no relation, and I enjoyed the cute little video! I am excited to meet him someday! Love ya!
What a darling baby!! Congrats to you two. Your house looks wonderful. I'm glad he's a good sleeper for you, my second one is too. I know what you mean about the smiles - my second was cooing and talking to me at two weeks. Congrats again!!!
Kallie! what a sweetie he is! And the house looks great! It's even better than the last time we saw it, it's come a long ways.
take care!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the video and the pictures and especially the little guy. OH how I long to snuggle his little neck and breathe in his baby sweetness. Can't wait til you come for Easter. I can tell you're every bit the wonderful tender mother I always knew you'd be. I'm so happy that my little grandson has such great parents...Counting the days...
Love you, Nana
I, too, enjoyed the video. I think it's for all the far away Nana's, aunties, and "uncles" if you will! I love this little fella, and I haven't even met him yet. Congratulations, and I hope to meet this little chester very soon!
He is so adorable, and your house looks great, Kallie. Sounds like you're soaking up all the bliss that comes with new-motherhood!
Oh, how precious. Do you know what I enjoyed most about the video?... hearing the sweet baby talk from a new mother.
...he's pretty cute, too. ;)
yum!
