Updates

Jackson got christened this weekend. He did so good, never cried once! We are so proud to share our faith with this precious ball of joy.
We were also so proud to carry on the Ratliff family tradition of wearing the baptismal gown that has been worn by the men in this family for almost 100 years. It was snug, but so very beautiful. He looked like an angel.

In other news, Jackson had his first ear ache and cut his first tooth this week. It has been a long one! I seriously do not know what people do when they live far from their families. I am so thankful for all the love that Jackson is showered with. We are very lucky.

Confessions

My husband is a better grocery shopper than I am.
There. I said it. It's not for lack of effort, I just get distracted by all the possibilities. I day dream about what I could cook and how wonderful it would be to live in this make-believe world, where I had all this time try new recipes and a staff to do all the dishes.

Ramblings from a new mom



Motherhood: Its one of those things that you just cannot describe accurately, no matter your vocabulary. Its the most exhausting thing that you just cannot get enough of. Its emotionally, physically and mentally draining- but you would not trade it for anything. It is true LOVE.
I LOVE Jackson. And Jackson LOVES Carrots.



He has started "helping" me feed him. This results in a splattering of baby food on me, the floor, the bumbo and most of all- all over Jackson. We have decided that it is much easier to strip him to his diaper, feed him, and then straight to bath time!

We have figured out that Jackson likes his daddy's hat:



Jackson also likes his Great-Grandaddy!


We went for Jackson's 4 month check up on January 30th. We got great reports! He is a happy, healthy baby! He is in the 95% for height and 75-90% in weight. He is a big boy!! We got 2 shots :( but he did pretty good!!
