Sniff sniff

Jack cannot take the intensity of someone sniffing their nose. This is a common occurrence with Ben. Last night I was feeding him and he jerked off of me (ouch) and got the poochy lip and tears were about to begin. This morning, I forgot this new "trick" and scared him when I did this offensive habit. However, he doesn't mind Ben's snoring......

We are moving!

Ben got accepted. Into the nursing program at LaGrange College for the Fall 2011! Ben also received the Sims Scholarship for a tuition free schooling if he commits 2 years to the local hospital. Oh course we will! So, we will be in LaGrange at least 4 years. We decided to look at buying a house because it probably would be cheaper to buy and it would be a great investment.

We have never owned a home! So, we decided to meet our realtor Saturday, May 7th. She was going to start by showing us 3 houses. We met her at 518 Jefferson Street. We pulled up in the driveway of 520 Jefferson street and started to yell! Our neighbors would be some of our dear friends!! How amazing! What was even better was that the house was perfect for us! We looked at the other two and kept going back to 518. Monday morning we called to get pre-approved. By Saturday May 14th, we were in her office signing an offer to send to DASH. More on DASH later. Monday, may 16th-they accepted the offer! Wow! Going from looking at houses to get accepted...whew!

Now, to pack while Jackson sleeps is always a challenge. It is coming together slowly. I have a lot to throw out and get rid of to move into our bungalow home!

April 23-May 3rd. Watch me grow!!!

May 1st: Jackson was dedicated at Grace Fellowship Church!

Jackson's first bath in the bath tub. He is not too sure about it, but didn't cry like he had been on his other bath foam tub. May 2nd.

Grace got to meet Jackson for the first time on April 30th. She loves him so much!

Jackson sure does love his Ne Ne. (taken May 1st)

All of the grandchildren together for Ne Ne's birthday!!

Kisses from cousin, Grace!

I do NOT like the vacuum! May 2nd.

I really like my mobile! April 26, 2011

I got sick with a virus and had to go to the ER at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. They took care of me and even gave me a stuffed bunny because it was Easter! April 24th.
My cute Easter outfit. I wasn't feeling good that day, but couldn't express it to mommy very well.

April 22nd. One month old today!!

April 21st

I took the photos yesterday, but didn't get a chance to post them. :)

Jackson, iPad, and the Boppy are the three things we need in order for him to eat.

The little guy wakes up and quickly lets me know that he is hungry. The first picture is taken right when I pick him up. Quiet, calm, a little chatty. Second, 30 seconds into the photo session, he tells me, "NOW." The third photo is during eating. The iPad tracks his diapers and feeding schedules. It is a perfect ap because it has the statistics.

Introduction is in order...Jackson Thomas Ladd

I guess I didn't get a chance to show off my son, Jackson Thomas!!

Well, here is my stud at 3 weeks old! (no, I did not position his hand there) :)

He was born on March 25, 2011. 10:21 PM. 7 lbs 12 oz. 20 1/2 inches long.

Starting today....

I know that this blog has not been updated in a while. Now that we have a laptop, I will be able to update, hopefully, daily on the life of our little boy!

April 20th is the start of my new goal!

Jackson Thomas FINALLY slept through the night with eating and then going back to sleep! PRAISE!

Today, we took a trip to the Board of Education to drop off some paperwork and then to KOHL'S. Shopping is not his thing because he slept right though it. :) He was a great sport and let mommy spend her Kohl's cash to buy daddy's Easter shirt.

We are in LOVE with sleeping in the car seat by the dryer. When I say, "We," I mean, mommy....but Jackson does go right to sleep with the lull of the clothes flipping around.

Well, hopefully, I will be able to take a nap in a moment.

Signing off,

New Mommy

36 Weeks!
