8 weeks

Last Tuesday Jamison was 8 weeks old. I can't believe how fast he is growing! The last time I took him to the weigh clinic he was 9lbs 12 oz and he was 22 inches long! He is also starting to grasp things because he likes to pull mommys hair and necklaces. He is also holding his head up really well now but not all the time quite yet. I can also tell that he really likes to listen to people and he is smiling more and saying words like ah-goo. I love it when he talks to me!

Last weekend we went to Ohio and it was an amazing trip. It was an 18 hour drive on the way out there and on the way back with all the stops we had to make for Jamison to be fed and changed. We stayed the night both times. On the way out we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Le Roy, Illinois and on the way back we stayed in Iowa City with Rick and Gail. (Andy's aunt and uncle) The drive went really well...Jamison only cried the last hour when we were driving to Ohio and he was a little more fussy on the way back but he was a busy little boy last weekend. He got to see both sets of my grandparents and all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my mom's side. He got so many cute clothes. We had such a great time and it was really good to see my family again. Everyone loved meeting Jamison!

While we were in Ohio Andy and I got to see the Wright Brothers Mansion in Dayton, OH. It was huge and it was great to hear about the history of the Wright Brothers. We also saw the world's second oldest plane that the Wright brothers had made. The world's oldest plane is in the Smithsonian in DC.

Next week we have Jamison's immunizations appt so I will let you know how that goes. Oh and I am going back to work Nov. 17 so I'm sure it will be bittersweet. I really think that I will have the so called "mommy guilt". I will always wonder is someone else taking as good of care as what I did and when he cries is someone attentive to his needs? I know that eventually I have to go back to work and I'm sure it will be hard at first but hopefully it gets better as time goes on.
