Less than a month ago, Autumn and I were prepared and ready to have our first child. A few weeks later, we are still nursing our wounds and learning daily about the joys of parenting. Jackson loves to eat. The last 3-days, he has been on a pretty accurate two hour feeding schedule. Sometimes he chooses to take a nap in between. Sometimes he chooses to stay in the one place that has a constant flow of heaven. Autumn is trying to juggle between being a nurturing mom and the lady that she use to be, that took care of everything. She is learning a new level of patience that is greater than the one she learned by living with me. It has been hard.
Work has been busy and great. Lots of fun projects and my support at work has been amazing. I feel very blessed to work with the people I do.
Jackson is growing. I am guessing he is up to 9lbs, 8oz. He is a little tank already. Some would call him a dump truck. His hair is filling in and turning red. Looks like we are going to have a mini firecracker. Right now it is all about the same things. He eats, sleeps, poops, eats, gets a bath, stares at Maggie, stares at mom, eats, poops and definitely is not afraid to enjoy a good cry. He played kickball with us the other day. He needs to work on his hand-eye coordination. We have tried to go out to dinner a couple of times. He does okay, but he prefers to be in our arms.
All is well as the first month is about to pass by. Thanks to all of you who have been here to lend a hand.
Autumn, Eric, Jackson and Maggie
