Family, Friends & Football

Long overdue updates -
Jackson had his 4-month well baby visit and vaccines last week and he's such a little bruiser. Seriously he grew one inch and gained a pound in 13 days! At 4.5 months he weighed in at 17 lbs. 2 oz, 26.5 inches long and 16.5 inch head circumference. He is feeling so much better from his cold and is full of smiles for everyone, even when the nurse came in to give his shot. He laughed and "talked" to her without a flinch! I guess all those fat rolls are good for something:)

We had a slew of family in friends in town over the weekend for the LSU vs. Auburn game. Mr. Wilson and I were happy to see our Tigers win! My sister and her friends all graduated from Auburn, so we had a house divided for the weekend. We had a nice visit with my dad and his girlfriend, Grandpa hadn't seen Jackson since he was just a week old. The weekend went by way too fast, but we'll see my family again for Thanksgiving so that made saying good-bye much easier.

Yesterday we had big plans to go to a Fall Fest, Dr. S's party (our RE has a birthday party once a year for all of his babies) and then to the Pumpkin Patch with Jackson's cousin. We made it to the Fall Fest, but as I was putting Jackson back into his car seat I noticed that the back of his shirt was all wet. I couldn't figure out how his drool soaked his back... and then I caught a smell of poop. Jackson was literally covered from head-to-toe in poop, it was even down his arms. He has been having some explosive blow-outs lately, but this by far was the worst. Needless to say, we missed the party and the pumpkin patch.

I couldn't help but look at Jackson all weekend and feel completely overwhelmed with joy. One year ago on Friday I peed on a stick and my life completely changed. I don't know what I did to be so blessed, but I am thanking God for answering my prayers. Jackson is my little gift from God.
