who's that cutie???

I just had to post these. I think Jackson looks so cute with his hood up! He's obsessed with this activity table that Rachael picked up at the Seaside Park garage sales. It was the right price too so that makes me very happy.

say it ain't so....

So the past couple of days have been a bit crazy with all that has been happening, but i'm thankful because we've been able to spend some quality time together as a family. Bill also happens to have off this week so it's been great to see him spending lots of time playing with Jackson. We've been enjoying waking up late and just laying in bed with Jackson...actually, he's constantly trying to crawl all over us, and we have to make sure he doesn't accidentally fall off the edge of the bed. Since it was a rainy day this afternoon, we spent lots of time inside and playing with some of Jackson's new toys. It just so happens that today, he learned a new trick...take a look for yourself. Bill swears it won't be long....I certainly hope it is! I'm not ready for this!!!!

bike ride

Now that Jackson is getting bigger we're able to take him on more "adventures." I'm so excited to be able to take him for bike rides because truthfully, I miss them! When we first put him in the seat he wasn't quite sure of what to do with himself or make of it, but once we started pedaling, he absolutely loved the ride! He had such a great time and was looking at everything! As usual! He's not exactly fond of wearing a helmet, but too bad...he has too! We took a bike ride all around Seaside Park and even stopped to see great grandma & great poppop. Jackson had lots of fun and I'm sure we'll go for another bike ride soon :)

naptime is over!

The other morning I heard Jackson stirring in his crib. I figured I would wait a while to see if he would fall back asleep, but it wasn't happening. After about 10-15 minutes I went upstairs and found this:

needless to say, clearly naptime was over!

family fun

A couple of weeks ago some of the family gathered out at Rachael & Greg's house for a bbq. It was a long drive (Bill likes to joke that we were headed to Kentucky :) and SUPER hoT, but it was fun to get everyone together. We had the chance to meet baby Gabriel for the first time; he's a cutie! And so tiny! Was Jackson really that small at one time???!!! I can barely remember!!
