one month

I still can't believe that Jackson is already one month old. It's weird being out at the grocery store or Starbucks and answering a stranger's question of "How old is he?" with "One month old." How is it possible that an entire month has gone by so quickly?

Jackson is a pretty cute one month old.
In addition to his usual newborn activities of eating, sleeping, crying, flailing his arms & legs about wildly, and making all varieties of facial expressions in his sleep, Jackson has also added a few new things to his baby repertoire. He smiles without gas incentives, stares at me from across the room, and is showing new-found interest in the owl mobile above his pack 'n play.
Not only is Jackson cute, but he's also pretty smart. He started saying "aye!" or "I" (depending on the intonation) back on day 4 of his baby life but now he's also added "ga" to his vocabulary.

To further demonstrate his baby genius, Jackson answered my question of "How many weeks old are you?" by smiling a huge smile and raising four fingers. Yea, that's right! He's a smartie!
