3 weeks

It's been three weeks since Jackson was born, a fact that seems a tad impossible...time is flying!  This week was my first full week home alone - the days when both boys are home are BUSY but fun!  It's a bit harder to get Jackson to sleep with a VERY talkative (and LOUD) 2.5 year old in the house, but Crosby brings a lot of laughter and life to the house and it seems quite empty on days he has gone to Nana's. 
Jackson is starting to show more and more of his personality.  He has definite preferences and he is not at all shy about letting you know what those are.  He can rev himself up from calm to screaming in less than 5 seconds flat. Not sure what this is going to mean for us when he is a toddler, but I'm bracing myself now! He is starting to have more awake time, which is wonderful, but means that getting him to sleep has become a bit harder.  The exercise ball for bouncing has been brought out again!  We have noticed some more gassy/fussiness coming out -especially in the evening when he also likes to cluster feed.  It makes for more interesting evenings but we also have enough experience to know that it is just a phase.  He still only sleeps about 2-3.5 hours at a time during the night between feedings, but we are sure hoping for a longer stretch in the coming weeks.  I have transitioned him this past week to spending the whole night in the bassinet (as opposed to ON me) and he has done a great job with that - something I didn't accomplish with Crosby until he was nearly 3 months old!
Crosby has been a champ through this all. He has moments where you can tell he is frustrated with being patient and sharing us, but those moments are few and far between. He has been incredibly loving and caring towards Jack and patient and easy going with us as we figure this whole 2 kids business out.  He is definitely growing up and LOVES to follow Drew around and do whatever Daddy does.  It's incredibly sweet to watch!
I haven't been good about breaking out the real camera, so here are some cell phone pictures for you to snack on from the past 3 weeks.
