Okay, camera's loaded with pics, software's all installed, here we go, check out this cute fella:

Say, is that a new camera Mom?

Like his outfit? It's a size 9 months. Yep, 9 months. He is one looooooooong baby. He is way above the chart for length. He's 71 cm (28 in), which is the 99th percentile for 6 month olds. And he's only 3 months old. Good thing we have that really nice convertible car seat my Mom bought us. He'll be outgrowing his infant car seat very soon, I think.

So for the last week I've been fooling around with the camera, taking lots of pictures and videos. The problem is Jackson is very fascinated by the camera, so you get lots of pictures like the one above where he just stares interestedly and, much more boring, whole videos of him quietly staring interestedly at the camera. But I've got his number:

(I'm loud, I know. Next time I will definitely hold the camera farther out.)

Baby also got his first cold this week :( He learned what the snot sucker was (I believe the correct term is bulb syringe, but that sounds like something a drug-addicted tulip would use, so I say snot sucker, it's much more descriptive). He is NOT a fan of that thing. AT ALL. I just hope I get faster and sneakier with it. He doesn't mind the saline drops, though.

Jackson's also started teething. One of his favourite poses is this:

Nom nom nom

He's kind of young to be teething though, he hasn't really figured out how to bite on things, he just sucks on them, so he gets frustrated sometimes. But despite the teething and the cold, he still is quite the happy cute munchkin.
