Jackson has got to experience a lot of firsts over the past month. We took our first trip down to the lake. We went with some friends that have a house in Shell Knob. They have a great set up and we could walk back and forth to their house and the dock; which made it very easy on us with Jackson. We took his pack-n-play down to the dock and he took his nap outside. The water was pretty chilly so we only put him in for a few minutes but he really enjoyed himself.
Last week, we went to a Springfield Cardinals game. Jackson got to go out on the field with Nick to present a check to the Boys and Girls Club from Springfield Sertoma. He was more interested in the people around us than the game but did really good.
Over the past month, we have started introducing Jack to formula and it hasn’t gone as smoothly has I thought it would. He takes the bottles fine but it doesn’t settle well with his tummy and he’s spitting up a lot more. We switched to a gentle formula and that seems to help a little. So right now, he gets a 7 oz bottle with about 4 oz of formula and the rest breastmilk. I’m hoping by the next couple of weeks, he’ll be able to take all formula.
We also gave him a sippy cup for the first time last week. He did really good with it and has started to want to hold his own bottle.
And finally, we’re getting closer and closer to crawling. Over the past couple of weeks, he’s starting to tuck his knees under him and rock and lunging for toys. It’s exciting to see him want something and figure out how to get it himself.
You need to put up the video you were talking about!
