On the Move

Jackson finally started crawling on Friday before I left for work! He went after a bottle of lotion of all things. We already feel like our life is over as he took right off and is unmanagable now. I don't know how long crawling will last, he is interested in walking now. He is pulling up and cruising around everything. On Sunday he even pulled up on our dresser and started opening and pulling things out of the drawers, what fun! Anyway, here are some pictures of crawling, Jackson getting into things, and a few random ones because they didn't fit anywhere else.

I think I can do it...


getting closer....
almost there....
Got it!


All that work for this?

I think mommy was done reading this anyway.

First Day of "School"

Today was Jackson's first day at Rosedale. Most days I will take him but since I had to work until 5 today Chad took him. I think it broke Chad's heart when Jackson didn't cry when he left. He just got in the floor and started playing! The day seemed to go pretty well. His teacher said he was her new favorite and she couldn't believe that he held his own bottle, went to sleep on his own, and didn't take a pacifier...made us feel like we are doing something right! I hope things keep going well, all I can say so far is that we love it!

This is my serious school look.
My shopaholic mother is determined for me to be the best dressed kid at Rosedale. I definitely won today!
Mom wanted to take my picture with my backpack...I wanted to stand up on the rocking chair.

Phew I learned a lot today. When I got home I worked on my numbers on the fridge. Mom is sure I was close to figuring out the speed of light here.

Nana & Poppy's

On Sunday Chad had the afternoon off so we headed to Culpeper to visit with his family. Jackson had a great time playing with his cousins and I know his Nana and Poppy enjoyed seeing him because it had been a while. Here are a few pictures of the day!

Playing on the bridge between the two fish ponds my daddy built. Don't I stand up good now?

More Fun at the Fair

We went back to the Montgomery County Fair last night for Supreme Champion. It was a great night as the farm was recognized for being the only family to exhibit at the dairy show every year for the last 60 years. Miss Patricia's cow Tauntra was also Supreme Grand Champion which was awesome! Here are a few pictures of Jackson from the night.

Wow Tauntra won!
Regan was my best buddy during the show. She treats me like her baby doll and I love the attention.
I didn't know what was in this bag but I knew it looked fun.
What is this stuff?
I don't know what it is but I want more!
Obviously my mommy hasn't taught me to chew with my mouth closed yet.

Wow being at the fair sure wears you out. I fell asleep right in the middle of it.

Fair Fun

Last night was the show at Montgomery County Fair. Jackson had a great time and was especially good which is amazing considering we didn't get home until almost 12. Waverly's cows did great of course, especially Miss Patricia's Tauntra who was Grand Champion! We go back tomorrow night for supreme so make sure to check for more pictures.

In other BIG news Jackson pulled himself to standing on Monday night. We have officially given up on crawling and are 100% focused on walking. He is doing great with it and I doubt it will be too long before he is taking off!

Ew, what is this stuff?


Being at the fair sure does wear you out. I was playing in my bed earlier and just fell asleep like this!

So Big

Jackson is getting big way too fast! I put him down for his nap today and when I went to check on him he was sitting up in his crib playing! This was the first time he has pulled himself to sitting! He also is standing all the time now!

Check out that hair!
I still like swimming...
but I like driving better!

Mix of Emotions

Things have definitely been up and down here. We lost two of the puppies last night. The vet did everything she could for the first one but it was the runt and was too weak to make it. I worked with the other puppy for two hours last night trying to get it to keep breathing but its little body finally gave out. We think Millie just had too many and they weren't all strong enough. So far the other 7 seem to be doing okay but we are having to tube feed them (sticking a long tube down their throat and into their belly) twice a day because Millie is just worn out. But so I don't make this too depressing I decided to share pictures of our little miracles that are left below. We are in love with them all!!!

Welcome to the World...

Millie had her puppies early this morning! So far there are 9, 6 girls and 3 boys. There are 2 blue merles, 4 red merles, and 3 red tris so it is a GREAT mix! There will be lots of pics of the puppies to come, but they are way to nasty right now! Instead I thought I would share a pic of Millie when we brought her home 4 years ago!! It is hard to believe it has been that long... If you or someone you know is looking for a puppy, we have the perfect one for you!
