Happy Independence Day!

I'm a day late, but it's worth the wait for our unplanned patriotic coordination (me in red, Jackson in white, and Joey in blue) picture, right?!

...of course, you should see the full progression - we took a great picture, then as Joey leaned in to kiss Jackson, the little guy had one of those reflex movements and scratched Joey in the eye...

...but then they did take a good picture together of just the 2 of them. :)

Jackon in his 4th of July bib - I didn't find any festive outfits I liked that were small enough to fit him so he matched Daddy wearing Rangers gear and had the bib on throughout the day (mostly for feedings, but a little more to be patriotic).

Also, I've been trying to do better at taking pictures of Jackson with all his adoring fans/visitors. Here are a few...


With Joanna who came in from Chicago and brought him some Cubs gear (to further confuse him as to which teams are supposed to be his favorites) :)

While Joanna was holding him, he was practicing holding his head up.

With "Uncle" Collin at his place for a small 4th of July BBQ

Jason's dog Oliver checking Jackson out while Stacie held him

..and from a few days ago - the first full outfit I've found (and liked) that Jackson can fit into - although a few of the newborn size are finally getting snug on him so we might actually move into 0-3 month outfits soon!

...although I'm not sure he enjoyed wearing pants at first - this is a picture of the preview to the "quivering lip"

...but there were less tears once he had his pacifier frog!

Last but not least, naps with Daddy are some of the best!


...Til next time, Keep Shuffling!
