Jackson is 8 months old!

I can't believe Jackson is already 8 months old!
He's such a happy buddy and he's crawling and pulling himself up like crazy. Needless to say, the cats are a little less thrilled with him. The past weeks have actually been pretty nerve-wracking for us. A few weeks ago Jack got pink eye and an ear infection. Then a week later he got another ear infection and a horrible virus called coxsackie (hand, foot and mouth.) With the coxsackie, Jackson had sores in and around his mouth and a rash all over his body. That, along with the ear infections, convinced Jack that nursing and bottle feeding were a bad idea. We had to give him fluids with a syringe and I spent many sleepless nights walking the halls with my poor crying baby. After getting three antibiotic shots, Jackson is finally better! I took the pictures below the day Jackson finally felt like his old self again.
