Better Late Than Never.

Well, it's been two weeks since I last posted an entry. When I left off, I promised a better picture of Jackson and his second cousins. Buzz proved to be a little harder to capture than I expected. Here is another picture of Jackson and Kate.


Since then, we've been busy. We now have Brenda, from Ireland, helping us with Jackson for the month of July. Brenda is the seventh of eight children and is very practiced in handling babies. She has fourteen nieces and nephews. Brenda has been a great help. She watches Jackson during the day, while Betsy and I are at work. To accommodate this addition to the household, we have moved into My mom's vacation rental in Atlantic Beach. That's why this update has been so long awaited. I can never remember to bring the camera over when I come to get the mail etc. and we all know this blog wouldn't be nearly as much fun without the pictures of the handsome devil. Here's an example.

See! Wasn't that fun?

Anyway, back to the update. Jackson went to the pediatrician about a week ago for his three month check-up. He is doing great. Right on target in all respects. The doctor and her assistants were very impressed with the cuteness as well as the development. He weighed in at 13 lbs., 14.5 oz. and 25 inches long. He's still spitting up tons, so the ped. gave us some formula that thickens up in the stomach and therefore is supposed to stay in the stomach. Great theory. All it's done for us is make for thicker stickier spit up messes to clean. Ah well, We can handle it. Here's another cute picture.


This past weekend, Nigel and Cheyenne (our friends from Bradenton) came to visit the four of us (don't forget Brenda). We had a great time. Nigel and Cheyenne were both very pleased to meet Jackson an Jackson had fun with them.


Saturday morning Jackson rolled over for the first time. Back to front. Once he gets flipped over he gets very mad. He hates being on his belly. Nonetheless, if you flip him back onto his back, he'll roll right back over again and start fussin'. Once he get's it in his mind to roll, he's gonna roll.


That's pretty much all that's been going on with the Birdsongs. We had a great time on the 4th of July at Grandma and Grandpa B's. I'll try and get the next post in before two weeks go by.
Until then, here's one more cute picture to hold you over.

Thanks for reading.
