Jackson is 6 months old!

Half a year has already passed since Jackson arrived! Joey and I are so grateful for every moment with him and feel so lucky to be his parents! Joey commented recently that Jackson's smile never gets old. Hearing Joey say it melts my heart - How right he is! Maybe we appreciate it a little more when it's absent for a while, which was the case with all 3 of us being sick at some point or another over the past few weeks, but either way, we consider ourselves so very blessed.

At his appointment Jackson has grown or maintained in every category - he's still average or below 50% in most, but still so happy and healthy that there's nothing to be concerned about. He's finally rolling himself onto his side, but still seems disinterested in actually rolling over. His legs are quite strong though so we're almost convinced he will literally walk before he crawls. We'll count the delayed rolling as a blessing that we get to wait a little longer to baby-proof the house. :) Again, nothing to worry about and he's doing just fine with other milestones. One of the questions asked at his appointment was if he's babbling and I had to laugh because sometimes babbling is an understatement. He definitely has the Shoup "gift of gab" as some have said. :)
I still can't believe it's already time for another monthly comparison!
