today has been such a great day for our little magoo. at the moment, he is on his second nap for the day, which is wonderful considering that up until last week he didn’t sleep at all during the daylight hours. my goal for this week is to figure out our daytime routine. as of now, jackson likes to “snack” in the morning, only feeding for about 15 minutes at a time. today he went down for a nap at 10:30 and slept for 2 hours, woke up to eat for almost 30 minutes, and then we had some play time. the pictures are from his playtime today. he is lifting his head so well and i get so excited every time he does it. i love to see jackson in action! jackson absolutely loves looking at himself in the mirror (can you blame him?) and tries to talk to himself too while gazing at his own lovely face. he just went down for an afternoon nap now, and i’ll be interested to see how long that lasts for. i’m thinking that he may be hungry sooner rather than later, but i could totally be off (which is most likely the case). i’d like to get a nap in this afternoon myself once i finish this post.

paul is home today, though he was at work at 3:30 this morning…. they were supposed to have an early flight, but he got a call as he was driving in to work during the wee-hours of the morning to say that they did not have an airplane for him to fly. nice. paul is now 0 for 4 with flights in the last week. between not having planes to fly and planes being broken for one reason or another, paul has been cancelled a lot lately…. not good for work hours, but GREAT for me!!!! i love getting phone calls from him saying that the plane is broken and he’s on his way home. of course that means that when he’s home, he’s put to work, and today that meant hanging jackson’s letters in his bedroom. jackson’s room is now complete!!!

as for me, i’m fighting a nasty cold that i somehow picked up in the last month that i’ve been hibernating in my house. the last two days that my sniffles have been really bad, we’ve tried to keep the baby away from me as much as possible except when i needed to feed him. i’ve got a little more energy today, so i’m hoping to kick this nasty bug asap and praying that i didn’t give it to my non-vaccinated son.

we had “family dinner” last night at phil and sarah’s house. while i neglected to take pictures of that event, i will say that it was really nice having a family outing that didn’t include a doctor’s visit. everyone was so pleased to see jackson and we really enjoyed getting out of the house for a while and seeing our friends. phil deploys again this week and will be gone up until sarah gives birth to their second child (a boy!) in october. please keep them in your prayers…. i know miss lily will be missing her daddy desperately. lily made sure to help paul change jackson’s diaper last night. i should’ve gotten a picture of that…. darn!

anyway, enjoy what photos i do have and stay tuned this week. i’ll let you know if i accomplish my goal. bye for now!!!
