6 weeks old!

Time sure is flying! Big J (as I call him) is 6 weeks old now and doing great. Everything I've read and been told says that fussiness peaks at 6 weeks, and considering this guy hardly ever cries lately (aside from when we try to put him down for bed, but that's another story), I think we've got a fairly smooth ride ahead of us *knock on wood* He's been sleeping for 6-7hr stretches at night starting about 4 nights ago. Hopefully we're onto something there because I sure am enjoying getting my sleep again :) He started smiling last week, so that's been fun to see what and who can make him smile. Those gummy smiles are the best!

Colin's still doing great too. He tells everyone "my brother" when they start talking about Jackson. And he loves to hold him - actually he'll lay down and ask to hold him, so I just rest Jackson's head on his belly and that'll last for about 30 seconds when Colin declares "all done" and I have to grab Jackson's head before Colin moves and it hits the ground. Toddlers sure like to keep us on our toes LOL Colin does seem to like getting his picture taken more now too - anytime I get the camera out to take a picture of Jackson, Colin's there saying "my cheese, Mommy", which means "hey, take a picture of me too!", which I of course do!

Here's some new pics of my boys:

Here's a couple pics of me attempting to catch Big J smiling:
And finally, here's a video of Big J in action taken this morning. If you listen, you'll hear Colin hiccuping & laughing at his hiccups (he was standing next to me) and saying his version of "Jackson" and "Mommy, Jackson here".
