Jackson's First Few Days

Since we've arrived home, we've started getting into the swing of things as a family. We haven't yet ventured out on any family outings, other than for various appointments, but look forward to attempting that in the next week or so.

We've had so much fun getting to know Jackson over the past few days. A few of my favorite things include the funny faces he makes in his sleep, how he will gaze at us endlessly during one of his rare wide awake moments, his squeaky cry when he gets really upset, the way he is easily startled by a noise or flash of light which causes all four limbs to go flying in opposite directions, the way his hands are always moving and attempting to make their way out of the swaddle, how little he looks in a swaddle, his big yawns, and the way his little tongue pops out when he's hungry, just to name a few.
