The things you get excited about...

So we have now had him for almost a week. It is funny how after you have a baby you become so excited over the strangest things. For instance poop and pee. The first couple of days of having him home we were worried he wasn't getting enough to eat because he wasn't having very many dirty diapers. That sure has changed. Anyways, we celebrated the first couple of times that he did. Other things that excite us, when he doesn't cry before he nurses, sleeping for 3 and a half hours at a time. Oh the little things!
Anyways, today he had his 6 day checkup to make sure all is going well. It was great to be able to get out of the house for a little bit today. So Jackson is doing fantastic! He is now 20 and 3/4 inches long (he was 19 inches at birth) and 7 lbs 4 oz (he was 7 lbs 12 oz at birth). The nurse told us that they lose weight after birth and Jackson had quite a bit of blood loss. Anyways, we will be giving him iron because he is anemic but other than that he is healthy and strong.
Here are some new pictures of him. He is showing his school spirit in the first one. My sister Nicole bought him the onesie and in the second Andrew and Jackson just hanging out watching tv.
