Happy Halloween! Madonna & Guy Richie, with their newly adopted black baby, hung out with the boys from Top Gun Saturday at the Castle Branch Halloween Party. "Mummies's Little Pumpkin" helped pass out candy to the 40 or so trick or treaters that came by last night.
Hello all! Jackson here. I wanted to say a few words about my dad. He is really the best dad around. He plays with me and gives me baths. He is very interested in my development and helps me learn new things everyday. He is also really nice to my mommy. Last Friday dad stayed home with me so mom could go out with her girlfriends. Just last night when mom needed a well deserved break, dad put the TV in the bathroom so mom could watch Desperate Housewives from the bathtub. What a guy. Mom and I think we will keep him!
Today Jackson is 7 weeks old. It has gone by so quickly. He is developing quite a personality. He knows what he wants and when he wants it. If only Jason & I knew. We are still having some sleeping issues. He was doing well but the last 2 nights have been trying. Maybe tonight will be better. In the mornings Jackson sits in his chair and watches TV or the ceiling fan while mommy takes a shower and gets ready. He is such a beautiful boy and I love him so much.
e will be taking aunt Sue to the airport tomorrow and then home.
Tomorrow starts Sunder Family Fun Week in Oak Island, NC. Jackson & I will be down for the week. Jason has to work but will stop by for a few visits. I am really looking forward to the week - babysitters galore! I plan on catching up on some sleep. Sue is in from California and Judy & crew are coming from Boone on Sunday. Tomorrow is Jackson's baptism at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Southport - the same church where Jason & I were married. We may not be able to post pics till next week - sorry Aunt Mary.
What a busy weekend! Sunday was our 1 year anniversary. Jason got me these beautiful flowers. It was also my college roommate, Laura's wedding in Hilton Head, SC. Jason, Jackson, Mom & I traveled down Sunday and mom babysat while Jason & I attended the wedding. Laura looked gorgeous. She & Matt went out of their way to make the day special for us too since we will be sharing the same anniversary. I got to see some friends from college that I have not seen since graduation. It was a good trip. Jackson did great in the car - slept the whole way - only woke up to eat and get fresh panties.
Jason has taking over bath duty which we all seem to be happy about. Jackson seemed to enjoy his last one - a definite contrast from when mommy does it. I think Jason has found a new job. Today was a busy day for Jackson and I. We went to Southport with Aunt Punk on the ferry. Jackson seemed unimpressed with his first ferry ride. He met the entire faculty and staff of Brunswick Academy thanks to Grams and had lunch with Opah & GG. He has quite the social schedule. I am just trying to keep up. Tomorrow I hope we can just stay around the house and catch up on sleep.
Sorry for the delay. The last few days have been a little hectic. Jason started back to work today so Jackson & I were by ourselves. We managed. Jackson is having "sleeping at night" issues so it takes us a while to get going in the morning. He's got sleeping during the day down just fine. We went to the doctor today because he sounded congested to me and Grandma Porter. He is fine. The doctor said that is just how they breathe at this age. Jackson has gained 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks - that's a lot! 
The doctor thinks he may be "over feeding." We are going to have to start getting used to a pacifier instead of feeding him every time he cries. The pics are from today. Jackson likes to sit in his chair in the morning and watch the Ellen Show.
