Hat Day

Jackson's school had hat day last week. Here's our little man. What a cutie!

Next Stop: Harvard!

Jackson rolled over today. At four months and 3 days, I think we may have the next Doogie Howser, MD on our hands.

We were doing some tummy time this evening when he got home from school. I could tell something was different... he didn't seem so annoyed with being on his tummy. I saw him start rocking, then start pushing with his arm and I thought to myself "I should get the video camera." Then I thought "Nah." Then lo and behold, he rolled over. And I did not get it on video. Of course I immediately put him back on his tummy to see if it was just a fluke. The video below is roll over #5. I got roll overs #2 & 3 on video as well, but that clip is a little long.




And on a personal note, I've been relieved of some of the "working mom" guilt by witnessing this, his first roll over. Even though he's at daycare most of the day, I didn't miss a first! That's my boy!

It's been a while since last we spoke. Sorry 'bout that. We've been trading sicknesses around the Fish household. It's been neither fun, nor pleasant. It's been a good two weeks since we've all been healthy, but we're all on the mend now. Thank goodness for antibiotics! Is it wrong to have antibiotic envy? Jackson gets the yummy pink bubble gum amoxicillin while I get stuck with the big white pills. I digress.

Before we all got sick, Jackson started laughing. It's this kind of stuff that makes getting out of bed in the morning all worth it. Seriously, I live for this sound! So let me put this video in context so I don't win the "Worst Mother of the Year Award." Jackson had been laughing for a couple days by the time this video was shot. This was the first opportunity we had where I could make Jackson laugh and Aaron could shoot the video. Jackson tends to clam up around the camera so you have to be kinda stealth about getting the goods. So remember that post a few weeks ago about how things that made Jackson laugh one day won't the next? Well, it happened again. We prepare our video shoot, I do my dance like a good little trained monkey, and nothing. Nothing! In jest, I tell Jackson he's killing me, and THAT makes him laugh. Go figure. So that's what this video is. Me telling Jackson he's killing me and him laughing at that fact. I should be worried, shouldn't I? Great.
