J Monster

When I was pregnant, Charlie Claire was Baby A and Jackson was Baby B.  For 8+ months C was the baby that was supposed to come out first.  At my 37 week ultrasound we found out that Baby B had taken the lead and pushed Baby A out of the way.  Baby B (who was now A based on position) was in perfect position ready to come out, Baby A (who was now B) was sideways with their head in the others belly.  We know now that the original Baby A was Charlie Claire and the original Baby B was Jackson.  Jackson made sure he was the big brother and since having these babies this all makes PERFECT sense!

Aside from medical issues, C is super laid back, relaxed, low key, wakes up chatty and smiling, etc.  Jackson on the other hand is ready to go all the time! From the time he wakes up, mad because there is no one there entertaining him, till the time he goes to sleep he wants to be doing something EVERY second! He is our high energy boy!

This little boy doesn't know it yet but he got his mommy and daddy through a very difficult time.  While at times it was stressful trying to coordinate people when C Bear was in the hospital or had dr appointments, he was able to brighten our bad days.  When we were in the thick of watching seizures that were devastating our  little girl he didn't skip a beat...growing, learning and developing. There were moments that as a mom I will always feel bad about...the time Jackson rolled over for the first time and I screamed to Jason "Oh gosh, Jax just rolled over..oh no, C is having a seizure.." and the seizure took precedence at that moment. As I have said before, I remember all of Jackson's milestones but for the first 6 months of his life he was "competing" with epilepsy.  Thankfully, now epilepsy has taken the backseat!

Jackson, while high maintenance, is a very sweet boy who loves playing with Jeter and Ripken, bouncing in his jumperoo, going on walks, people watching, bath time, rolling anywhere he wants to be, enjoying every food we have given him so far, putting anything and everything in his mouth, is super fascinated with his sister but currently does not like that he has to share me with her!

Here are some things that make Jax, Jax!

We are just so in love with this little boy and love that CB has such an awesome big brother...he is our little monster!
