Once Again

Once Again we're all sick. Jackson started Thurs. night and he got better on Saturday, when mine started. I have no clue where this started but Jackson is feeling better, more than what mommy and daddy can say. This weekend was fun besides getting sick. Saturday we went out to my cousin's for her 4 wheeler party. We had a blast and so did Jackson. He loved getting all the attention. He better not get to used to it my cousin had their baby boy on Friday. And Sunday we stayed in and watched cartoons most of the day because we were all sick. Jackson found a new love of cartoons. He laughed at giggled the whole time. It was priceless. His favorite seems to be Handy Manny. Sunday we had a big scare. 12:30amWe were laying in bed when we heard what seemed to be water running on the baby moniter. When we got up to see what it was, it sounded as if was coming in from the wall. So I went outside to find our neighbor using a water hose in our back yard. End up he was outside when he seen something burst into flames and hopped over our fence to put it out. A bag of charcoal on our deck some how caught on fire and burst into 6 foot flames thank goodness he was outside at the time, it could have caught the deck and our house on fire. Needless to say it took me awhile to go back to sleep. Thank you for good neighbors;)

3 Months

I don't believe your 3 months old. It seems like yesterday that you were born. So much as changed since you been here. You are all we ever think & talk about. Everything we do is for you. You are truly a gift to us. You light up a room where ever we go. Everyone loves & adores you. When you start to smile you get this slight squint in your eye. That's what makes me melt. You talk when spoken too. You really seem to think that your talking, the rest of the world is listening and everyone can understand you. You can hold your head up all by yourself. You can sleep through the whole night. You love looking at yourself in the mirror, you must get that from Daddy ;) You love bright colors I think red might be your favorite it catches your eye more quickly. I think Daddy would rather it be blue.

You love sucking on any pacifier or you fingers which ever is close.

You love to stick your tongue out especially when you talk

You love being outside, so many things to catch your eye

My little boxer. You always have you hands near your face. When mommy takes your hands and hits daddy or papa you laugh and laugh.

Me and your Daddy love you so much. We are so proud of how well your doing. You are truly our 'Little Stinker'

Movie Star!

Ok so I really wanted to go to Lanesville Heritage Weekend so I went with my parents on Friday and I thought how it should only be right to take my little John Deere out to the country so I had to decorate him up! I know I know, how mean! So I have been dying to put on his new John Deere outfit that we got in Myrtle Beach. When I got the whole getup on I just started to loose it and so did the rest of Southern Indiana. First we went to KFC and a lady stopped me and went on and on about how cute he was and took his picture how funny. Then when we got to Lanesville everyone just stopped and stared and just aaahhh. Like a Little Movie Star! I just couldn't help but think that we had the most adorable wonderful baby in the world. Then of course I had to stop at the John Deere booth and people just came by to see him not the merchandise. Well what do you think?

Isabella came up and seen Jackson at Church on Wednesday. He is so excited he has another friend. I can't tell if she is going to hug him or hit him ;)

Today we went to Cincinnati to my cousin's Bridal Shower. It was very nicely decorated. I love the ice sculpture. And of course Jackson got passed around. I don't know if it was because he was cute or that is was a little chilly outside and him and his blanket held a lot of body heat. He talked to everyone there. He has really become a little talker.

Just Smiling

I love this smile

So Jackson was in a great mood today so I had to take advantage of it. Matt brought him to work for me because we celebrated Vicky Denney's 50th Birthday. WOW!! He talked and smiled at everyone there. Then I brought him home and we played and played. He laughed the whole time. He is just too adorable. He loves everything that surrounds him. He loves looking in the mirror and bright colors. He is truly a gift and we love every minute of it.

New Look!

Ok so I finally did it. I change the look after saying I'm going to update it after he was born. It only took about 3 months. Tonight Jackson really showed his improvement of holding his head up. I laid him on his tummy and he held it up for a good while. Long enough for me to get tons of video, pictures, and to find his tummy mat. He really liked it too. He also rolled from his belly onto his back. But hasn't rolled over onto his belly yet. He's really trying to talk to you more and more. Me and parents went to Sam's tonight and we passed the UofL section with children's clothes. I said I bet your daddy would hang me by my toes if I bought that wouldn't he and he just laughed. Then dad kept saying go Hoosiers and I said Booooo. And Jackson would boo. It was too cute. Mama and Papa got a big kick out of that. Oh he got is first cold chill today. I laughed so hard he was laughing with me. It was the cutest thing. He is doing great in his crib. Since Saturday, everynight he has slept through the night. About 12 hours. THANK YOU!!! Mommy and Daddy Love You!!

Happy Grandparents Day

Ok so some people don't really celebrate but I did. Since this was my mom and dad's first official Grandparents Day. I had to make it special. So I made mini scrapbook, brag book, for my parents and Matt's mom. They loved it since they didn't even know it was Grandparents Day. We spent the day at my parents butJackson didn't get to see Grandma Carrie because she is sick in the hospital but is doing better now. Get Better Soon. We went church this morning to see the children's play. Great job Beth. Then we went to my parents and had a cookout and played the Wii with the Evans. We had a great time. Jackson's buddy Nolan came over and he is getting so big. But is still adorable as ever. And Jackson slept in his crib for the first time Saturday night. He slept threw the whole night. I actually got to sleep uninterrupted. Except when the battery in the moniter went out and it kept beeping. But I woke up to get ready for church and he was rolling in crib. Enjoy the pictures!

Morning look

He loves his bath now

He always seems to suck on every finger but his thumb

Our Little Stinker

Ok so I know it's a little early but not by too much. Being a first time mom you get so excited about the small things. But since day one I said, "He's so stinkin' cute", "Your Mommy's little stinker" So I found a Skunk costume for Halloween, and now he is so stinkin' adorable. Ok so I got a mailer and saw this cute little costume and me and Matt agreed that this would be his first costume. So here it is.

You know it comes to the point when you realize that Oh My, I said I would never do this to my child and here I am doing it anyways.
Oh Well Welcome to Motherhood!!!!

Labor Day

So we had a ok weekend. I end up getting sick. Thanks to my boys. But we are all better now. Jackson seemed to get over it the quickest. Matt still has a touch of it. My cousin Nici, Keith and Isabel came down to bring some of her toys to Jackson. And I had to shew her away cause I didn't want to get them sick. SORRY Nici! But we started feeling better Sunday. We went up to see our family who was camping without us again :) Next Year it's on!!! I think the fresh air did us some good. I went bike riding for the first time since I was like 14. Oh that was fun. Jackson slept the whole time imagine that. Sunday we went to some friends of ours church for their 50th anniversary party. Jackson was being so good up to the point where he started making the poop face ;) So I got up to change him and oh, it was bad. Being in a unfamiliar church looking for the bathroom. Getting in there realizing I had no more diapers. Then I had to walk all the way in front to get the keys to my car to get my extra diapers out. While everyone was looking at me trying to walk in heels for the first time since I was prego carrying a 2 month old. So I finally get out to the car. And lift his butt up only to find poop going down his leg. He had it all over his cute little brand new outfit. So I get his wipes out only to find I had 2 wipes left. Then trying to think how in the world I was going to make this work. I find a bottle of water thinking I can do this. Then realizing I had sample wash wipes in the car. Thank You!! So to make a long story short I finally got him cleaned up to walk into church right when everyone was walking out of service. The End!! But it was great party after that. Jackson is doing so good. He really got the hang of holding his up now. His getting big but he can still wear his newborn outfits.
