My Favorite Things

Jackson might only be three weeks old but we've already discovered he has quite a number of favorite (and not so favorite) things! Here are a few of his likes and dislikes, portrayed through pictures of course!!

Dreaming, wishing, hoping for milk . . . poor little guy, he only gets fed every three hours!!




The milk-drunk coma that's sure to follow every feeding . . . this is an all time top favorite thing!



Dirty diaper time . . . a not so favorite (or quiet!) moment.




Lights, camera, action! Watching the Christmas tree lights, the room lights, the TV, it doesn't matter, if it's lit, he LOVES it!



Playing 'peek-a-boo' with mom . . . aka mom catching his oh-s0-cute moments on camera!





"Sleeping" . . . make that pretending to sleep! Nap time is one big mission to break out of the swaddle and play with no one noticing . . . that is until he realizes he just broke out of his swaddle and demands to be re-wrapped!



Hangin' with dad!

In addition to camera stalking our child, we've also been sticklers about starting his music & literary education from day one (you can say it, FIRST TIME PARENTS!!), which has let us share some of our favorite tunes & tales with our little man . . . are they all in good taste? Probably not! Will he have to overcome a love of cheesy music when he's older? Definitely!! But until then, he's all ours to inspire, teach, and torture (it's all a matter of how you look at it!).

Here is Jackson's first play list & reading wish list ~ enjoy!
