Hooray, He Can Sit-Up!!

Okay, now I understand that children sit up eventually and that it's just something that happens, but I am especially happy for this accomplishment because now I can take Jackson to the store.. Yes, I can go at night when Gary gets home, but it's so nice to get it done during the day so I can relax at night after he is home. Jackson outgrew his little infant car seat a couple months ago because he is too tall. I quickly found that making a quick and easy trip to the store wasn't so quick and easy anymore. I couldn't just put his little infant carrier up on the cart and go. Our trips to the store usually consist of him laying in the front part of the cart on a blanket for about 10 minutes until he decides he wants to be held. Have you ever tried to hold a wobbly baby and push a heavy cart?? Yes, you probably have, so you know where I'm coming from. Well, today I had to make a "quick & easy" trip to Costco... I decided to try my luck and see if he would sit up in the cart, he was sitting up a little last night so I thought it was worth a try. We had to use that little strap thing that holds him up a bit, but he sat up for the most part! I was so thrilled that my trip to Costco was QUICK AND EASY!!! Yes, at times he fell sideways, but as a whole we managed alright. Today I am definately excited about the simple things in life.
Another milestone Jackson is achieving right now is getting teeth.. OUCH!!! Teething didn't phase Madi at all. I didn't even know she was teething until after she got her first tooth. Well, I definately know Jackson is getting some teeth. We really need to buy up some stock in Children's Motrin, Children's Tylenol and Baby Oragel.. We sure are using a lot of the stuff. The teeth he's cutting are his front bottom ones. I'm excited to see how our little guy looks with pearly whites!!
Well, there's a little update on Jackson! Hope you're all doing great! Talk to you later.
