ON 03/27 as I was getting Jackson ready for bed, I was rubbing orajel on his bottom gums and he said “Yuck!”. I’m sure it was an accident but it was so cute and such perfect timing!
On 03/31/07 Jackson was starting to fuss and he said “Mommmmmmeeee” almost in an English accent! It was very clear, though, and then later said “mama” clearly as he was starting to fuss. Again, probably an accident but it still felt good. Wayne didn’t get to hear this so he doesn’t believe it. My mom and Leanne heard it, though, so I have proof! J
Yesterday Jackson went in for his 6 month check up. He weighs 15.11 pounds and is in the 15th percentile (finally out of the zero percentile- YEAH!!! This rice is really chunking him up!!!). He is 25 ½ inches long, also the 15th percentile. His head circumference is in the 50th percentile. He had his immunizations and his last of the oral rotavirus immunization (hopefully he will never get rotavirus again- twice was MORE than enough of that mess!). He was rolling all over the table playing around and was just talking to the wall and the table and the paper on it. He talked to the doctor and kept trying to take her shiny instruments, making it hard to check him out. He did great, though, and didn’t fuss at her when she checked his ears, nose, or even when she put the stick in his mouth to check whatever she checked! We thought he had an ear infection b/c he’s been pulling on his ears and not wanting to suck on his bottle. She said his ears look fine and thinks that he’s teething and that’s been causing his ears to hurt and him not to want to suck. We still can’t see any teeth, though. What we thought we saw before weren’t teeth, they were “mucous pearls.” I know, sounds really gross. We don’t have fluoride in our water, as apparently a lot of cities don’t, so she wrote a prescription for fluoride drops that we are to start using now that his teeth will start coming in. We are also to continue using his Axid for his Acid Reflux, which we were told before he could possibly grow out of. His next appointment will be at 9 months.
Random stuff: Jackson LOVES shiny stuff- he loves his daddy’s police badge and loves glasses and will pull them off of your face. He also loves his daddy’s hat and will play with it for a long time. He also loves “spirit fingers.” If you don’t know what that is, watch “Bring it On.” His uncle, Chris, and Leanne show him spirit fingers all of the time and he just grins at it. Jackson loves to jump in jumpers and loves his exersaucer. He also loves putting things in his mouth. He tends to like guys a little more right now. He likes playing on the floor and is close to crawling and is sort of “GI Joeing” it in that he keeps his tummy on the ground (and his face) and swims his arms and legs and can get far enough to retrieve toys but moves so slowly you don’t realize he’s moving. He gets frustrated because it’s a pretty hard task and makes him tired. He’s like a roly poly sometimes because as soon as you put him down, he rolls onto his tummy. You roll him back over and he rolls back to his tummy immediately. Jackson has started to like to play with the water with his hand as I’m rinsing him off in the tub. He does really well with baths. He’s also sleeping really well at night and has to be woken up most mornings to get ready for daycare. They love him at daycare and refer to him as a “Chick magnet”.
