Jackson loves accessories

First, a cute picture of our happy little boy:


His first pair of sunglasses:

He's so stylish!


His other favorite accessory, monkey slippers!


Jackson has a great sense of style. He loves shoes, hair barrettes, and now sunglasses! I think he is going to be a fabulous dresser, like his godfather, Uncle Brad. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope everyone is having a great Valentine's Day! Lots of love to all of you!

Toy Storage By Daddy

Awhile ago, I found some toy storage I liked from www.landofnod.com, but it was a little more than Jeff thought we should spend. So he decided to make it for Jackson's toys instead. I was excited because it meant I got to pick out the paint colors!

Here's a picture of the original, our inspiration:


Jeff's toy storage with Jackson's trucks inside:


Jackson and his new toy bin. I think he's saying, "Daddy, you really didn't have to do this for me."


Now I think he has gotten a bit more excited about his toy storage. He's saying, "YAY TOY STORAGE. Everything will have a place!"


"Seriously, Daddy, this is the best gift ever!"


Jackson, testing out the strength of his new storage bin:


Jeff is in the process of making one more storage bin... and depending on how many more toys Jackson gets, we might have him make 10 more. But for now, two will do, and it will make our family room much nicer. Jackson and I are both thrilled that Jeff is so handy.

Our 100th post!

So I can't believe this is our 100th post! I started this blog last year, and at the time, Jackson was learning to roll over and sit up. It's hard to believe that he is now running everywhere and talking!

Here is the picture from our first post, and he looks SO different now! He's such a baby in that picture.


And now he's a big boy, who loves to wear Mommy's barrettes, and has a crazy, silly personality.


And a side view, so you can see his Pebbles ponytail better.


Sorry it has been so long since I last updated - I am going to try to be better from now on. I know you all missed his incredible cuteness!
