Good Morning!

Jackson woke up in such a good mood this morning! I swear he can hear the camera turn on and starts smiling for his pictures! I am enjoying having extra time to spend with him these days, so there will probably be lots of pictures.

Daddy usually tickles me, but since he wasn't around I did it myself!

Hungry Man!

Jackson is really into eating new things these days. We have switched to Stage II food. He loves frozen canteloupe and pineapple too. He started eating Cheerios today and of course his most favorite is cookies!! Thanks Laura for getting us hooked:)

I am a little cookie monster!
MMMM....Canteloupe, my favorite!
I love to watch mommy's face when she turns around and sees how dirty I am after dinner.

Kentucky Candids

Jackson had a great time last week at Nina and Pop's. Fortunately Aunt Bibi took lots of pictures of him and sent them to us so we wouldn't miss him too bad. Even though it was a hard week for Chad and I, Jackson had a great week and I know it was good for all of us. Here is a glimpse of his week!

Uncle Brady and I playing with my teething ring.

Me and Johnny Blue who Nina and Pop bought from mommy and daddy last fall.

Me and Barnstormer's Shister calf. I am hoping Nina and Pop will give her to me since we bonded so much.

Swinging!

Thanks for putting my swing up Uncle Brady!

Thanks for taking lots of pictures for mommy and daddy Aunt Bibi!

Goodbye!

Yesterday was a hard day for us. We had to say goodbye to Jackson. He went to Kentucky to spend the week with Nina and Pop while I am at State FFA Convention. We shed a lot of tears on the way home and the house just seems so quiet without him. Of course, he is having a blast already I am sure!

Here I am playing in my car seat in mommy's car.

Aren't the sunglasses Nina bought me for the trip cool?

First Tooth!

Jackson got his first tooth today after months of teething! It is still barely there, but we can definitely feel it and see it! He is getting big way to fast for us. We are busy packing for his first by himself trip to Nina and Pop's in Kentucky so check in soon for traveling pictures.

I am trying to show off my tooth for the camera, it is just hard to see!

Already working on the next one!

Swimming Fun!

Today Jackson played in the pool for the first time with Reese, Laney, Claire, Laura, and Patricia. He was exhausted from all of our fun yesterday but still enjoyed the water. We are hoping the next time we go he will be well-rested and be a little more smiley! Thanks Paul for letting us use your pool, the water was great!

Thanks for the fun barn swimsuit Nina, I loved it!

My new car float!

Splashing in the water in the bottom of my float.

I really did have a good time, I just didn't want to smile!

Once we got home I decided to be extra smiley just to frustrate mommy since I wouldn't smile at the pool.

Please can we go back to the pool mom?

A Busy Saturday!

Jackson had a very busy Saturday today. We went to the ballpark early this morning to watch Jacob play t-ball (Zach should be proud!) Then we went to Nana and Poppy's for Uncle Chris' surprise 30th birthday party. Needless to say, Jackson was wiped out by the time we got home last night!

Dressed and ready to go to the T-Ball Game.

Kicked back in my chair, waiting for mommy to get ready.

Swinging on the porch at Nana and Poppy's.

Still swinging...

Me and Daddy at the fish pond that he built for Nana.

Playing with Cousin Jennifer, I really liked her!
