MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
A couple of weekends ago we went to Stonebriar so Jackson could meet Santa Claus for the first time. It was so cute to see the excitement in all the kids faces as they got closer to him. By the time we got up there Jackson was ready to smile for the camera. I was a little worried that he would have a melt down since it was time for him to eat, but he did great. I put him on Santa's lap and he smiled the first shot. I was so proud of him seeing that the eight month old twins ahead of him needed three shots to get a half way decent photo. So, our first Santa experience was good. I can't say the same for next year though. I will post the picture later along with Christmas day photos.
I am so excited to spend this Christmas with our baby. It just seems like yesterday that we found out we were pregnant. This time last year we were so happy to announce our great news to the family and this year he is here. YAY!!!! I know he doesn't know what is going on, but it is still exciting. I can't wait till he understands the REAL meaning of Christmas.
Starting Thursday we are goign to have a fun but very busy schedule. Thursday, Christmas Eve we will go to church with my parents and then over to the Durham's to spend the night. It is a family tradition to eat chick-fil-a, Apricot fried pies, oh and Susie's cheeseball and watch It's a Wonderful Life. Then, we will wake wp Christmas morning to presents that Santa brought and drink coffee out of hillarious singing mugs and indulge ourselves in my mother-in-law's wonderful Christmas morning breakfast. Then, Christmas afternoon we will head to my brother and sister-in-laws and have some good ole' Clark family time. We don't get to celebrate our family Christmas till Sunday since Chris and Kathy can't be here till then. : ( This is the first year that we can't do that. It makes me sad that we can't see them on Christmas day, but atleast we get to see them. So, on Sunday we will go to my parents for the Clark Christmas and eat homemade tamalies(sp?) and open presents. I am especially excited this year because we are going to spend the night at my parents so that means some sister and brother time. Can't wait! It is going to be one crazy household. Here is the head count just in case you were wondering.
Mom, Dad, Chris, Kathy, Travis(12), Aaron(8), Jake(3), Michael, Jenn, Jordan(5), Zach(9mos), Jared, Lindsey, nad Jackson(basically 4mos). that's A LOT of people under one roof. We are going to have a blast!
Well, I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy the time with your family and friends.
Merry Christmas form Jared, Lindsey, nad Jackson!

Happy 3 Months, Baby!
This post is a little old but it is very blog worthy. Jackson is now 3 months old. Man, how time flies. It is a bittersweet feeling. I love that he is developeing and getting bigger by the minute, but it is alos sad knowing that my days of holding and cuddling him without him squirming are slowly coming to an end. I have been warned by friends that by the time they are 8 months they no longer want to be held all the time. So sad! I love to hold him and know that he is so dependent on me and Jared. We love our little guy so much. It is amazing how you never know how deepley you can love someone until you have a child. I know people say that all the time, but it is so true. Here are his stats:
Food: Breastmilk and formula : (
Clothes: 3-6 mos
Teeth: none, but I think they are on their way.
Hair: BLONDE and finally getter longer and thicker. So cute!
Sleeping: 7:00pm-6:30am(Weekdays) & 7:00pm-7:30am(Weekends) through the night since 7 weeks. So proud!
Sounds: LOTS of cooing, laughing, and squealing.
Likes: He likes to be held, read to, rocked, and talked to.
Toys: Right now he really like his teether lion.
Just thought y'all would like to know what he ahs been up to lately. I know this update post will be much longer come his 6 month birthday.
We love you Jackson!!!!
