Happy 4 months, Jackson!

Our Jackson is getting so big. I can't believe we have a 4-month old baby! He smiles, giggles, sticks his tongue out, reaches for & grabs things, almost rolls over, and absolutely abhors tummy time. He's also a good sleeper, but is learning (to our demise) how to get out of his swaddle... waking himself up as he does so, making his previous 7hr 30min - 8hr night sleeps into 6hr - 6hr 30min night sleeps (although we'll go in and re-swaddle him, and in a few minutes he's back to sleep. But I do say we'd prefer to sleep without the interruptions...). We might have to ditch the swaddle here soon.

Last weekend my mom was here for a couple days, and this weekend, half the Gannaways visited (Trish, Tanner, Lee). I think Jackson has enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Jackson's good at stealing the show. Here are a few fun videos/pictures we captured of him.  My brother Nate has "claimed" to be the favorite uncle...up until this point. I think this is pretty much proof that he has lost the title. Here's to you, Tanner & Lee!

Click on the following titles, and it will take you to the video:
Jackson loves Uncle Tanner
Love for Uncle Lee
Happy Jack

A few pictures:
 Jackson is now less apprehensive about Bath time!

 He has become obsessed with putting his arms in the air and just holding them there. It looks like he's cheering for someone, so we inevitably start singing the BYU fight song...

Almost big enough to go on the shoulders!

Oh What a Beautiful Day!

We had a happy and wonderful Valentine's Day. Best thing we enjoyed: dinner & dessert! We had deliciously marinated steaks, roasted parmesan tomatoes, baked herb potatoes, and rolls. For dessert we had dark chocolate ganache cake covered in truffles. Simple but delicious.  Being home-with Jackson-makes the remains of the dessert go straight to the hips...







A few happy pics of Jack the past few weeks:

 Mmm... that was a good meal dad.
