thriving

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 6:33 pm

once again, jackson and i went to visit kell at the hospital last night.  when she works, i’m pretty sure these visits will become part of his nighttime routine.  while we were there, out of mere curiosity, we decided to put jackson on the scales.  well, what we discovered was somewhat humorous.  this little guy just turned four months old, and he already weighs 18 pounds and 3 ounces.  needless to say, he is clearly “thriving”.

new video – be our guest

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 2:24 pm

jackson absolutely loves to hear kelly sing.  he was so tickled by her version of a childhood classic that we all know and love.  you can watch it on our video page right now, but i’m warning you, it will be in your head the rest of the day.

hospitals

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 3:38 pm

we’ve been spending a lot of time at hospitals this week.  sounds scary, right?  well, not necessarily.

 

monday night, jackson and i went to the hospital to see kelly.  since it was her first night back at work, we thought she could use a little visit from the fam.  even though jackson was being a little flirt with all of the nurses, we were able to break away and spend some time with kell.  and, i know it might come as a surprise, but we took a few pictures.

 

last night, we headed over to the hospital to pay a visit to both our labor nurse and doctor.  we have been anxious to give them a little token of our appreciation for helping bring our son into the world.  we gave them each a dvd copy of our babymentary video, complete with a personalized case that included a thank you note printed on the inside.  kelly also baked two chocolate pound cakes, which, despite our hunger, surprisingly survived the drive.  the desserts and dvds were a big hit with them, and they were so excited to get to see jackson for the first time since his delivery.  and somehow we managed to get a few more pictures as well.  crazy, huh?

 

this morning, we had to take jackson to the radiology center to have what they call an “upper GI”.  for those of you that don’t watch grey’s anatomy, that is a test used to monitor and study a person’s digestion process.  you definitely wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but sometimes jackson struggles with digesting his food.  so, our doctor suggested that he have this test.  we were a little nervous about it at first, but as it turns out, the little dude is just fine.  everything is working properly in his system, so we have a new sense of peace about it.  and to top it all off, jackson was a perfect little angel through all of the testing.  go figure.  and what would a morning of medical tests be without pictures?  you can see them all by clicking on the photo above.

first day at mimi’s

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 7:18 pm

today was the first day that jackson has stayed with my mom (whom we now refer to as mimi).  and sadly, tonight is also kelly’s first night back at work.  so, in order for her to sleep and me to work, jackson stayed with mimi during the day.  kelly is working two nights out of each week, so it works out perfectly for jackson to stay with mimi during those two days.  we are so blessed to have such a great situation with family nearby.  that being said, it didn’t make it any easier to drop the little guy off this morning.  kelly even wrote him a sweet love note and left it in his “lunchbox”.  a lunchbox that, by the way, was empty when i picked him up (hmmm – shocker).  all in all though, i would say that it was a pretty successful first day.  the report from mimi was excellent, which was such a relief.  plus, this is just the first of many trips to mimi’s house, so we can be sure that many great stories are to come…

change in flow

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 4:32 pm

kelly and i both like for things to be simple, neat, and uber-organized.  such is the case with our website, and we are constantly looking for ways to make it more user-friendly.  so, we have decided to make a few changes to the overall flow.

 

1) our videos will now be sorted from newest to oldest.  therefore, the video page will display the most recent video at the top, instead of you having to scroll down the entire page to see the latest.

 

2) our photo albums will be sorted from newest to oldest as well.  the photo page will now display the most recent album at the top of the stack.  to make it even easier, we have also designed nifty little thumbnails that now include the month and year of each of the albums.

 

3) you guessed it, our music will also be sorted from newest to oldest.  so, when you visit the music page, you will see what we are currently listening to at the top.  and in case you haven’t noticed, the albums pictured on the music page always link directly to iTunes.  if you love music and you aren’t using iTunes, then you should seriously consider downloading it.

 

we feel like this will make it a lot easier for you to scan our site and stay up to date.  now go and explore the new flow.

new video – rollover

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 5:52 pm

in case you haven’t heard, we had a big milestone here at our house yesterday.  that’s right, jackson rolled over for the first time all by himself.  i don’t know what we were more stoked about – him rolling over or us catching it on video.  check it out on our video page.

new video – burp

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 3:55 pm

whenever we post a new vid, we will notify you here on the home page.  and it just so happens that today we have a new one for you to see.  just go to our video page to view it.  the focus of the video was supposed to be jackson holding his head up, until he pleasantly surprised us with a little burp.  that is how we came up with the clever title.  enjoy.

finally

Filed under: Story — Dusty @ 1:42 am

as you can see, we have finally created a new photo for the top of our website.  yes, that is our sweet little jackson, and kelly and i are holding him up.  a lot of thought went into this photo, and it was quite a creative process from start to finish.  without saying too much, i will go ahead and tell you that a behind the scenes video is in the works.  in the meantime, go ahead and get acquainted with our website, and start checking in regularly for new posts.
