Jackson Snores!

Heres a little clip!

Jackson's Eats Cereal

We fed Jackson oatmeal today. It was hilarious! He seemed to really like it :) Daddy has the technique down.

Jackson's First Thanksgiving

Jackson spent his first Thanksgiving in Yuma and Holtville. Jackson visited his new cousin Matthew. He slept in Matthew's crib and slept through the whole night :) They are going to be best buds! We all went out to dinner and we all actually got through the entire dinner without the kids freaking out! Then the next day we went to Great Grandma Madge's and Asley and Jason's for Thanksgiving. The food was amazing :)

Jackson turns 4 months old!

Time is flying by! Jackson is getting bigger and is doing new things everyday. His favorite thing to do now is roll and talk. As soon as I put him down he rolls right over onto his tummy. Then as soon as he is on his tummy he talks non-stop! He is so strong, he loves to stand with help from mom and dad. He also loves grabbing the remote control from Dad. Jackson is now sucking his thumb and sometimes tries to get his whole fist in his mouth. He had his four month shots yesterday and did very well (mom didn't cry to much either!). Also, Tammy was here from North Carolina :) Jackson stayed with Grandma and Grandpa St.Pierre while I went and voted. It was a busy week!

Happy Halloween

Jackson was a cow for his first Halloween. He looked adorable. We went to a little Halloween party on Wednesday at our class. Grandma Ansley was here to celebrate with us. We went to the game on Saturday and had a great time. Jackson could not take his eyes off the TV! We did lots of shopping with Grandma and Jackson was so good...he slept through it all! Jackson had a little cold this week so we stayed in on Halloween and gave away candy to all the cute trick or treaters.

Jackson's First Flight

Jackson went on his first plane trip on Friday. Jackson, Grandma and Grandpa St.Pierre and I all flew to Sacramento for Great Grandpa St.Pierre's 80th birthday party. Jackson had the full St.Pierre Family party expierence. There was great music, delicious food, card playing and lots of fun! Thank you Aunt Sue and Uncle Maurice for letting us stay and hosting such an awesome party. Happy Birthday Grandpa, we love you! :) Here is link to more pics http://picasaweb.google.com/sssastark/FirstPlaneTrip?authkey=Tm-CxZ8YvmU##

Jackson is finding his vocal cords! He makes all kinds of cute sounds and noises. He now yells! He is not crying, I think he just wants to see how loud this voice of his really can be. It was pretty funny when he yelled in the middle of Chiles while we were having lunch, everyone just laughed!

Jackson is rolling over!

Jackson is rolling over! He rolled over for the first time two weeks ago from his stomach to his back. On Sunday night in front of his Thea Argy and Theo Nick he rolled over from his back to his stomach. This seems to be his rolling of choice....he does it all the time now. This morning I went to his crib to get him and he had rolled over! Guess it is time to stop swaddling him. I'm sad he is getting to big to fast!

Jackson's first trip to the Wild Animal Park

Jackson and I went to the Wild Animal Park today with our neighbor Leah and her son Cameron. It was over 100 degrees, so we were sweating! Poor Leah is 8 months pregnant too. Jackson slept through most of the trip. Next time we will go on a cooler day.

San Diego State vs. University of Idaho

Jackson went to his second game on Saturday. It was also our first win! :) Jackson hung out with his new friend Cali...younger by 4 weeks but already weighs more than Jackson!

Jackson's Two Month Shots

Jackson had his 2 month shots on Tuesday. He did really well, only cried for a minute. I, on the other hand, cried a lot more. Jackson weighed 9.5 lbs and was 22 1/2 inches long. He did really well the rest of the day. Took his sponge bob bandaids off the next day.

Jackson's first football game, Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Stark and Uncle Matt

Jackson attended his first San Diego State football game on August 30th. He came to cheer his dad on in their first 2008 game against Cal Poly. Grandpa St.Pierre, Grandpa and Grandma Stark, and Uncle Matt all attended. Thank goodness I had so much help because I was a little nervous bringing Jackson to such a large event. Jackson had a great time, he hardly slept! Everyone took turns holding and playing with him. We left a little early, which we won't do again because we ended up losing the game in the last seconds of the game :( and we got lost on our way home!

Jackson's a big boy!

Last night we moved Jackson from the bassinet to his crib. I was checking on him every hour. He slept like a baby :) He loves his crib! Thanks Orianna, Chance and Emma for letting Jackson use your crib! :) Thank you Walker and Tyler for letting Jackson use your bassinet! :)

Visit with Grammy and Grandpa Ansley

Jackson had fun being held and spoiled by Grammy and Grandpa Ansley! We went shopping at Babies R Us....Grandpa Den's favorite! We got the computer set up, put our clock together, and set up baby toys. Brian and I had our first date since Jackson was born, while Grammy and Grandpa stayed home with Jackson. Also we took Jackson to get weighed where he reached a whopping 9 lbs! Jackson can't wait to help on the ranch...especially driving the swather :)

Jackson's First Week Home

We took Jackson home on Monday. We could not wait! Jackson was a little guy so it took some work trying to keep him awake to eat. He loves his sleep! Everyone pitched in to build us a new patio in our new backyard...it is beautiful! I stayed inside and enjoyed being a new mommy :) Thank you to our family,Grandma and Grandpa Stark, Grandma and Grandpa St.Pierre, and Aunt Courtney for all of your support, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of everything during this difficult and amazing week. :) Here is a link to more pics! http://picasaweb.google.com/sssastark/DropBox?authkey=jnFwUPmHx_4##

Jackson Rodger Stark has arrived!

Jackson was born at 9:49 p.m. on Saturday June 28, 2008. He was 6 lbs 3 ozs and 19 inches long….just a little guy! I was induced at about 6:30 am and started going into labor at about 2 p.m. My doctor broke my water at about 7 pm. The doctor told us that I should be in labor for about 6 hours and I told her no way Jackson was coming by 10…what a good boy already listening to his mom! Delivery went pretty smoothly, with the exception of the epidural not working! Brian was an awesome coach and got me through…with a little bit of screaming! The second epidural luckily kicked in the last 20 minutes helping me to keep pushing. Ladies who go though childbirth all natural wow! Jackson is now the first grandchild in the family so he won't be spoiled at all! To view more pictures go to http://picasaweb.google.com/sssastark/JacksonSDelivery?authkey=bTfH8SeSrQg##
