it's all good!

ok, so i'm a whole six weeks old and getting used to this baby lark. i've worked out that if i cry, the big people come running and get all in a fluster trying to work out what i want (even though mostly it's obvious). momma is getting better at understanding me i think; she used to just shove her boob in my face every time i made a muff!

my daddy runs especially fast 'cos he does not like noise! sometimes i get cuddles, played with or sung to and sometimes i get taken for walks in my wrap or car rides in my special seat (i mostly use this time to kip).

i think i've met just about everyone in the jackson family now - except auntie beth, uncle circle and cousin lexl (who has a blog too - copycat). apparently they live very far away and i will meet them next year. auntie bo,uncle kyle and auntie diane like to hug me, grandad gray makes rude noises on my belly and nanna sue likes to bath me...alot!

also in our family are 'randy' gandy and (sm)elmo, daddy's big doggies. i like to watch them but sometimes they lick my face, which i don't like so much. the cats are more my size and sometimes i grab their tails!

i also discovered smiling this week; it's nearly as clever as crying at making the big people pay attention. some folk make silly noises and tickle me to try and make me do it. momma says nobody loves ginger boys, but i think perhaps if i smile lots and lots then maybe...

apparently, if i come out ginger, it means daddy must have a ginger gene, but daddy says he definitely does not have one of them; eveyone says i look like my daddy but momma says that's just cos i'm a baldy!

momma finished my nursery today ('cept for furniture - which she says is overated). a nursery is where big boys sleep. i think it's the bestest nursery there ever was! i enjoyed playing with my toys in my brand new big boy's nursery.
