Jackson as of Lately
Jackson is all over the place! He crawls all over the house and pulls up on everything. He has become quite the Mama's boy, as he does not want me out of his sight. He cries if I leave the room. The past two Sundays at church, the nursery workers have had to come and get me because he was crying hysterically. He still refuses to nap in his crib. He has now starting fighting sleep in the swing and even when I rock him. He is so fussy, especially in the afternoon. I'm just not sure what's wrong with him or what to do. My guess is that he is probably teething. He still has no teeth! He is absolutely addicted to cheerios and cheetos. He would rather snack than eat, which means I have had to cut back on how many snacks he can have each day. He has also starting refusing his bottle. Yesterday, he took a total of twelve ounces, which is half of what is recommended for his age. We went to the pediatrician yesterday to have his ears rechecked. He screamed when they put him on the scale, when the doctor listened to his breathing, and when she checked his ears. He has never really been a crier, so this is all pretty new to me. He has become pretty attached to his pacifier. He used to take it when he was tired, but now he will suck on it off and on all day. Maybe it's because his gums hurt. I still give him a cup every day or two, but he still hasn't figured out how to get the liquid out of it. We will keep trying. On a very positive note, he is sleeping really well at night. He will even let us put him down, and he will go to sleep on his own! This is huge! We used to have to rock him to sleep each night and then put him in the crib. He doesn't mind sleeping in his crib at all at night, but he absolutely refuses to nap in it during the day. I think it might be because it is so light in his room during the day. We are thinking of buying a darkening shade to see if it helps.
