My Jackson Jump Up

Jackson's Granny want him to have something to play with during his vacation to Phoenix so she bought him a jump up. We had so much fun laughing with him while he spun in the doorway. He had a lot of fun in it, but we had to stay within site of him at all times or he would cry. He is going thru anxiety whenever he is left alone for any period of time. I hope I haven't created a monster by holding him too much.

I can sit !!! Well almost...

Jackson is learning to sit and doing a pretty good job at it.
These were taken during one of our morning sessions with floor play. I am so glad that we have memory foam padding under our carpet.

Bi-polar Baby

These were taken for his 5 month pictures. He went from happy and smiles to tears and to smiles again in a matter of minutes. He weighs about 18 pounds and is 25 inches long.

His favorite past time is to stand on my lap and try to bite off my fingers. I fear the day he gets teeth.

First Day of school !!!!

Taylor's first of 3rd grade. She continues to attend Mountainville Academy. Every year she has a themed back pack and supplies. This year I decided I would surprise her, however, she found the stuff hidden under the bed. So much for that surprise. She was more nervous than she had evee been before. I had to walk her not only to her room, but into the actual room and to her desk. She now loves it and is doing well. She started basic pre-algebra. I was shocked. It won't take long before she is smarter than me.

My new Bumbo

This is Jackson's new favorite toy. He loves to sit and watch the world around him. He hates this toy because it stays on the tray. He pulls and pulls with all his might but can not break it free.

My first Playdate!!!!

Jackson had his first playdate with his cousin Ali.

They are only 6 weeks apart.

Their activity was to lie on Grandma Beardall's bed and watch the ceiling fan turn.

I don't think either one of them even knew that the other one was there, but that was O.K. it was more to capture pictures of them together anyway.

They have made our family a lot more exciting. We can't wait to watch them grow up together.

Jackson loved to talk to Grandma on the bed. She was so wonderful to help in anyway she could during my pregnancy. I don't know what I would have done without all of my family's support.

Jackson's Smiles

At 2 1/2 months old, Jackson is just starting to smile.

His toothless grins are sure to melt your heart.

His uncle Chris was able to get him to smile while I stood behind him to snap the pictures.

He is such a good baby. We are truly blessed to have him.
