Bath Time!

A couple of months ago Jackson would scream and scream until his bath was over. As you can see he now very much enjoys his bath time. I think he would stay in the water and splash all night long if we let him. I always think he looks so cute in his towel.

My Sweet Boy

I don't have any funny or cute stories about this one, and I know its a little blurry, but I just love his cute little face in this picture!

Back to Work/ Spring Break

Last week I had to go back to work. I had a very hard time leaving my baby. Every single morning I cried and wanted to stay home. It is amazing how such a little person can change all of your priorities. Well, I made it through the first week! Every day I would rush home to spend time with Jackson and then this week I was on Spring Break and got to be with him all day every day again!! I absolutely love being with him! He is able to play for longer periods of time and it is so much fun to watch every little thing he does. This is his new favorite game... He sits in his Bumbo and plays with a toy for a couple of minutes...



Then he bats it off of the tray and waits for me to put it back on so we can start all over again!

Man, he has me wrapped around his little adorable finger! Who would of ever thought that picking up a toy a hundred times would be something to look forward to every day!

Sittin on the Couch

Jackson can now sit up with some support so sometimes he likes to sit on the couch and play with his toys or just watch TV. He will just ignore me and stare at the TV, such a typical boy!

I have no idea what he is doing in the picture but I think it is hilarious! I think it is one for his high school yearbook for sure!

Crooked Smiles and Mommy Toes

Like every other American teenager I had to take biology in high school and college. In those classes we learned about genetics and how there are dominate and recessive genes. When Joel and I found out we were going to have a baby we would have bet the farm that he would look exactly like me...I mean, I have every dominate feature that you could possibly think of. So we were both very surprised how much Jackson looks like his daddy. Almost exactly like his daddy, especially the eyes. I wanted to go back and tell my biology teachers that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Well even though everyone sees Joel in Jackson there is some Darci in him too. For example his hands and feet. He has the classic long skinny Banks toes. I had to take this picture to prove that I am really his mom! See how we even both have our big toes lifted, this was not planned, I didn't notice it until a few days later. I've also noticed lately that Jackson has my mom's crooked smile. I absolutely love his little crooked smile and how it reminds me of my mom. There are also a lot of my personality traits that are surfacing in Jackson, like the fact that he isn't 100% happy when he first wakes up. He needs a little extra time in the morning and after naps.
Bottom line...it is so much fun to see both Joel and me in this little baby. It is such a little miracle how it all works!

By the way, As you can see I am WAY overdue for a pedicure! I guess having children changes priorities. Don't worry though, I won't have ugly feet for too much longer. After seeing this picture I am making a point to go get one this week!
