Oh baby! Going to the doctor...

Jackson turned seven weeks old this week and we noticed a huge change in his sleeping and eating and just about everything else. People told me to watch for that sixth-week growth spurt, but it was still tough. He wanted to eat every hour and a half and eat a lot! It was like having a newborn all over again. Then when six and a half weeks hit he changed over night! He is sleeping through the night now (something we can only praise Jesus for!) and eating every 3-4 hours. When we went in for his check-up with the doctor on Friday he weighed in at 12 lbs and 22 inches. He's gained 5 lbs since we left the hospital and he's grown 2 inches! I love watching him grow, and lately he's been looking for me or watching me go out of the room and talking and smiling to me ("talking" = cooing:) I am enjoying him so much and can't wait to bring him home on Thursday to meet the Seattle gang.Jackson also had his first chiropractic adjustment last week. He was great and didn't even cry- even though it was all new and maybe scary to him. Luckily he's very familiar with Dr. Cole and how kind she is.
