If my son could talk...

....this is what he'd say...LOL! I can't help it. I'm sure all you Mommies can understand. I can't get enough of the lil guy!!

Jackson is 5 months old!

My lil man, who's not so little anymore, will be 5 months tomorrow! That's just unreal to me.

I took him for a run today at sunset and it was pretty awesome. He was staring and smiling at me the whole time. If that's not motivation to work my hardest, I don't know what is!

Updates!

My lil man is off to a big start in 2011! He's starting to giggle, he found his toes, he moved into his room...downstairs (tears!) and finally, he rolled today (front to back).

And tomorrow, he's off to college......they grow up so fast...lol! ; )

Haven't gone back to work yet. Just enjoying my time with my son and helping my hubby out with the businesses, http://www.Ionvodka.com & http://www.glutenfreedaily.com which are doing really well!

Hope everyone's having a Happy New Year so far. Looking forward to the fabulous opportunities this new year may bring!!

It's been 12 weeks!

I cannot believe how time flies. Jackson is growing so fast and is now starting to coo and smile up a storm! It's the cutest. I could just stare at him all day.

Originally, I had planned on doing a sort of video workout/food diary for our glutenfreedaily.com website. Unfortunately, I was instructed by my doctor not to work out until now (12 weeks postpardum) & we're finding we have a new problem...getting to the gym. My husband and I have to go in shifts and because he's working constantly, there's not much time for that. So, for now, I'm lucky if I get to the gym a couple times a week. Today was one of those days though and I got my butt kicked. I took a step class and after being out of the gym for 12 weeks, I'm absolutely beat! Anyway, I'm sure I'll feel like a rockstar tomorrow!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. I love this time of year! The holidays will bring a whole new meaning having a little one around : ) I love that he takes such delight in the little things. It truly makes you appreciate life in a whole new way!

Jackson is 4 weeks old!

I can't believe how fast it's gone. My lil man is already 4 weeks old and he's almost doubled his weight! I have barely slept at all in these 4 weeks but I wouldn't change it for anything : ) Being a mom to my beautiful son is the most amazing feeling. Every movement, every gesture, every grunt is the most precious thing I've ever seen!!

Everyone tells me how fast they grow so, I'm thoroughly enjoying every waking moment (no matter how tired I am!)

I feel so truly blessed because on the 27th, my husband and I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary! We would've never thought that on our 2 year anniversary we would have a baby.

Life has never been richer!

He has arrived!!

Jackson Everett was born August 25, 2010 at 9:52 a.m.

He was 6 lbs 6 oz, 19 inches long.

My husband John & I are having an absolute blast with him. He's quite a character even at 2 weeks old. He makes so many silly faces, is very expressive with his hands and is constantly grunting. It's hilarious!
