Five Months Old Today!

Jackson is five months old today. He's taking it well. Especially since this month does not require a trip to the pediatrician or any shots in the thighs. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait til next month for an official weigh-in.

Along with the five month benchmark comes infant cereal. Jackson had his first go at eating something other than breast milk or formula last night. I guess you could call it a success. As long as you consider 5% in the mouth and 95% all over the face, all down the shirt, and all over everything within a four foot radius a success. He definitely enjoyed the exercise.

Yesterday, Jackson was baptized at St. Paul's Catholic Church. It was a very nice ceremony and we had lots of friends and family join us. Jackson, of course, was the cutest and most well behaved baby at the baptism. There were a half dozen other kids being baptized along with him. He was the only one that didn't cry. What a guy! Here's a picture of the freshly baptized Jackson with his proud momma.

After the baptism, everyone came back to Grandma and Grandpa B's for a nice lunch and some swimming. Grandma M. made a delicious spread of food and we all ate too much.

Don't worry! We waited fifteen minutes before swimming.

Hard to believe it's been five months.
