SC trip and lots more!

Wow, I guess the saying is true, "Time flies when your having fun!"
Because that is exactly what we have been doing- having lots of fun and time has sure gone by faster than ever. I cannot believe summer is coming to an end soon!
Anyways, our most recent adventure has been our trip to South Carolina. Jackson had quite the time. He had is vey own "Sip and See". For those of you who may not be familiar this is a shower where people can meet your baby and sip cocktails while they do it. So hence the name, "Sip and See!" My mother in law was so sweet to host one for me! About 25 women came to meet Jackson in South Carolina and boy did he get passed around. I was a little worried how he would react to all the attention, but he did great and people showered him with such beautiful things. It was real treat, and really a neat expierence. I think I would definitley have to reccomend it to all my preggo friends!
After the shower, we had some down time and Jackson got to go in the pool for the very first time! Once again, I was a nervous first time momma and wasn't sure how he would feel about it, but he loved it and did great. He even kicked his legs around a little!
After spending some time at Eddie's parents we headed to the beach and Jackson got to meet a lot of special people. He met both his great grandfather (Papa Ed) and his great granmother (Pat) as well as Eddie's aunts uncles, and cousins. He really loved everyone, and it was a special time since we don't get to see Eddie's whole family often! What made it even more cool was Jackson was turning 4 months old on the day they met him!
Speaking of Jackson turning 4 months, he had his 4 month check up and he weighed 14 pounds 2 ounces and was 25 inches long. No question this baby is eating good, and is catching up. Of course, we feel so blessed and thankful for our healthy baby boy. We also recently started him on solid foods. My pediatrican advised us to skip rice cereal and move straight to veggies, and then fruits. The first day we tried sweet potatoes and Jackson looked at me with quite the puzzled expression. However, after a week he got the hang of it. I would have to say sweet potatoes and apples are his favorite so far. He doesen't seem picky, but I know that can change! Just so in love with my baby boy. Enjoy the pics, it has been one busy few weeks!

Hope everyone is enjoying the rest of the summer as well! XO
