Jackson and Emily's Journey Through Life: March 2013

As usual, it has been very busy since I last wrote. Jackson is still enjoying preschool. On his days off we stay busy by visiting with friends, going to the park, or just playing at home. We are still waiting for the consistent warm weather so we can enjoy the outdoors daily. On March 8th Jackson started playing soccer! It is a co-ed team with players age 4 and under. They have a 45 minute practice session every Friday night where they run through stations focusing on basic soccer skills. They have a coach but one parent is required to participate on the field, that will be Toby for the most part. At this age they do not play any games. So far it seems like he is enjoying it and is doing really well!

Emily was 3 months on March 5th. She is becoming more interactive and interested in her surroundings. She grabs for objects occasionally and loves to look at her fists. When she nurses she runs her fingers through her hair. She is cooing and giggling often throughout the day. She is about as sweet as she can be! Her routine has remained consistent with going to bed between 9 and 10 then sleeping until 7 a.m.! She nurses about every 3 hours while awake still. Her last feeding before bed is pumped and put in a bottle. She is pretty fussy nightly between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. We mentioned it to her doctor and he thinks it is probably just colic since it occurs at the same time every night. Hopefully she will outgrow it soon! Emily took her first overnight road trip this past weekend. We went to Virginia to celebrate Delaneys birthday. The kids were both great travelers!

Toby has been traveling a lot for work, so the days go by very fast trying to juggle the two kids. Its a crazy life but I wouldnt have it any other way. I love my babies more and more every day!
