We made it to 6 weeks :)

Jackson is 6 weeks old! Our little big boy : ) 

I go back to work a week from yesterday boooo.... so I'm trying to enjoy every minute with Max and Jackson. I absolutely love love love my job but how can I not love being at home with my boys even more? We've been having so much fun and I feel like both of them grow and change almost every day. 

Max's life still revolves around trucks, books and eating. I've found some great wooden trucks at the library which blows his mind and he will play independently with them for a long time. Everything deserves a ride in a construction truck so I know to look in his fleet when I'm missing something- remote control, toothbrush, Jackson's sucker, cooked carrots waiting for dinner time, trash, and birthday candles. And many more. Inspired by my Mom's genius, we set up a huge tray with uncooked rice in it for Max to bulldoze, dump and excavate. Hours of entertainment. HOURS. He is very creative.

Max the Builder

In between the ridiculous cold and snow, we had a few days that were nice enough to go outside- Hallelujah.

Max got right to work preparing the yard for spring.

Max is quite attentive to Jackson. He will often lay down beside him and tell him "hi", put blankets on him and try to shove a sucker in his mouth (even if he's not crying). Jackson hardly ever gets to lay on his playmat by himself. Big brother Max is always there to show him how its done.

Max has been a great helper from the beginning, especially with diaper changes. He pulls up a chair, gets the diaper ready by opening up the tabs and sings "EIEIO" at the top of his lungs into Jackson's face.. usually while Jackson is crying. Its magical. This particular time, we finish and I expect Max to jump down and follow me onto the next activity as usual, but I turn around to find he had climbed up onto the changing station. Magical. : )

Just about every other day we take a drive to the library drive thru and pick up new books, toys, dvds, etc. Most are about trucks and Max likes to look at the best one as we drive home. Its become quite the fun little tradition : )

The best part of the day is when Daddy comes home! 

There is a lot of squealing, running around and laughing- plus whatever Max does.
