You want the tooth?!?!?! You can't handle the tooth!!!

So Jackson got his first cold last week. Damn kids, they are like germ factories. We went to a halloween party and within 24 hours of being around all those other kids, he was coughing and sneezing and cranky. He spiked a 102 degree fever that wouldn't come down even with tylenol, that lasted for about 36 hours. But he got over it, like they always do. Even when he was sick though if he wasn't sleeping he was bouncing off the walls!!

After his week of being sick we tried to get back into the routine of Jackson sleeping in his crib. Monday night, no dice, there wasn't anyway he was sleeping in that thing. Tuesday night he was up every half an hour for 4 hours or so. Wednesday night he woke up about a half an hour shrieking in pain. I just thought it was a new cereal he tried that night. Wednesday during the day, he wouldn't nap, at all. I just chalked it up to him still getting over his cold, and just being in a mood. Then thursday morning when we were at a play date, I put my finger in his mouth and low and behold there was a tooth popping through! I can't wait for the first toothy smile.

Jackson has been making leaps and bounds on the "talking" front. His first official word is "mama", he doesn't know what he is saying yet, but it still counts in my book. He can also say boo, and mmmmmmm. He is really starting to babble a lot.
