18 months!

Ok, so we're a little behind, since Jackson has been 18 months old since April 1st. But, we had our 18 month well baby visit today, so I decided to just wait until now to post about our 18 month visit too.

Jackson was 29.5lbs and 34 inches! He's a pretty big boy. He got a clean bill of health, and the doctor said he looked great!

Starting the morning off right

Don't you wish your mornings started off with a tantrum and crazy hair? I had no idea what I was missing out on before I had kids!

Is Spring Finally Here?

We'd hate to jinx it, but we are loving the beautiful weather! Jackson and I played outside before lunch/naptime today, and he had a blast, of course.

Don't mind the crazy hair, he is just excited to be OUTSIDE!


Check out the new shoes! They're bright, just in time for spring.


Running around the yard is so much fun!


Notice the letter in his hand - he has been obsessed with letters and numbers recently.

We had such fun outside today (and yesterday too), and we hope everyone else enjoyed the weather too. Hopefully, Spring really is finally here!

Easter Fun!

Jackson's Easter basket... a few new Ugly Dolls, and some other fun stuff:

AWWWWW! How cute is he?


Starting to get a little silly...


Easter is REALLY funny!


We had a great Easter, and we hope everyone else did too! Jeff, Jackson and I went to eat at Cracker Barrel for breakfast, and then we went to church with Jeff's parents, his sister, her boyfriend and his parents. Then we had lunch over at Jeff's parents and Jeff's brother, Jerry, and his wife, Julie, were able to come, too! It was great to see everyone. Happy Easter!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Some of you may remember that last year Jackson wore some sweet shamrock glasses on St. Patrick's Day. Jeff said it was child abuse to make him wear them. Well I kept them anyway, and here are some pictures of Jackson enjoying his St. Patrick's Day sunglasses for the second year in a row! I've mentioned he likes accessories, right? Oh and don't mind the drool on his shirt, or the slightly runny nose.




As you can see from the pictures, Jackson is feeling a little better. He had croup last week, caught from Germboree, no doubt, because some parents seem to think the rest of us take our kids to Gymboree classes to get sick. NO, we take them for the great music. Ok, not that either. I take Jackson because he loves it, and he likes being around other kids.

Beautiful Weather

Today we took Jackson to the park, because it was so nice out! We had a great time, and here are a few cute pictures we took.

Jackson LOVES the park!





Unfortunately, the weather forecast includes possible snow this coming week, so this will probably be the last nice day we have for awhile. We can't wait for Spring to really get here.

Happy 17 months!

Today Jackson is 17 months old. I can't believe the time has gone so fast. He is such a big boy now, running everywhere and talking up a storm. Both Jeff and I love when he barks like the dogs (so funny!) but our favorite is when he says, "I love you," which sounds like, "I wuvoooo." :)
