Memorial Day, 2 weeks old, and an outing

We had such a nice Memorial Day weekend with a BBQ yesterday with our bible study.  There were 5 new babies in attendance from 9 weeks old to 11 days old, and Jackson actually wasn't the youngest.  Here are some pictures of the ridiculous things parents do to their children because it's just so cute...The Circle of Babies!

 Jackson's crazy arms kept hitting everyone in the face.  His friends are Emeline, Joshua, Noah, and Grace.

He was cold and Jackson wanted to cuddle up with Noah.

Elaine and I were due 6 days apart, but the babies ended up having a 7 week age gap.  Jackson's got some catching up to do to grow as big as Emeline.

Sizing up those babies.

Mohawk!

So today was my first day home alone with Jack.  I was a little nervous with no one else here, but it went really well.  We slept in and even got out of the house for the first time alone together.  With my c-section recovery, I've been pretty cautious about pushing myself too much, but we were able to make it to the baby store today and pick up some things I needed.  Jack slept through it like a champ and made it so easy on me.  I was very grateful and I look forward to more outings with him in time.  For now, one new thing a day is a good start.
