My First Mother's Day

Sunday was my first offical Mother's Day. Last year was a practice run. It was great we went to church then to my parents where my mother's side was out there. Jackson got to play with his cousin Isabel who is 8 months older and only weighs 5lbs more than Jackson. He's such a chunker. Matt is (meaning still) building my mother's day present along with my dad's help. It's almost done. It's a cute window bench with cubbies for Jackson toys. Cannot wait to get it because I'm running out of room. Then we went and visit my mother in law and nephew for awhile. It was such a busy day but a great memoriable Mother's Day. It was weird for me because I celebrated this day for years and now it's a day for me.I will try to post pictures of Jackson dedication and others I have been really busy this week my cousin is getting married on Saturday and I'm the Maid of Honor/Wedding Planner. If I didn't dye my hair blonde I sure you would see gray!!

We have a crawler

I had to post this because we are so excited Jackson finally crawled Monday! And it's the cutest crawl too. His one knee is dragging as the other foot it walking along. I don't care how he does it he's just finally doing it. I was afraid he was going to walk before he crawled. And of course he is getting into everything he has had his eye on for awhile. I will have to post pictures and video of it. It's way cute.

The Circus

Tuesday night me and Jackson were sitting on the couch when, "Come to Circus the Greatest Show in Town..." came on and he stopped everything he was doing and just looked at the t.v. with his mouth wide open until it went off. I told Matt we have to take him. He said mom called and asked if we wanted to take him and I told her he's too young. I said call her back we are taking this child to the circus so we went and we had so much fun not to mention it was my first time going as well. We went with Grandma, Kayla and Mikal. Jackson was great the entire time he just sat there and watched the whole thing. The only thing he didn't care for was the clown that came up to him we were sitting in the front row so it was perfect for him to see everything up close. Here are some pictures we took that night.

The elephants were my favorite part.

I don't know if you can tell or not but there are 7 dirtbikes in the ball doing tricks

The Cute Things

Ok so it seems that Jackson is hitting everything at once now. I have been meaning to update everything that he is doing. So last Wednesday we started to practice standing him up. The next day he had already caught onto it and started standing on his own while holding my hands. He has been saying bye-bye-bye, dadada, mamama but we wasn't for sure if he knew what he was saying. But 3 days ago he started asking for dada and just today he has been asking for mama. And oh it made my heart melt.Jackson waves in the cutest way, he puts his hand in a fist and moves it back and forth like he is starting a motorcycle. It's the cutest.We have been loving these past few weeks and so fun watching him learn new things.

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!!

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!!!!

His First Cold

So Tuesday Matt said he wasn't fealing well and I told him not to breath, cough, and even look a Jackson because I didn't want him to get it. Well he did. Poor little thing is all stuffed up and sneezing and coughing. But he doesn't seemed to mind it at all. He's still a very happy baby. It's going around I guess. I talked to my friend Hollie and Nolan had it too. So Beware. I'm taking a little something just so hopefully I don't get it ;) Jackson is doing well other than that. He's trying to giggle a lot more he really tries to talk to you. He's really active. Oh his favorite song is "This Little Light of Mine" He really tries to sing it with me it's so adorable. It makes me laugh so hard I start crying. I would love to catch it on video but along with everything else everytime I get it out he stops doing it. Well I hope all is well and have a safe hoilday weekend!!

A Weekend of First

Saturday he got to go to his first birthday party. It was great seeing all the girls from high school and their little ones. I just don't believe how fast they all grew up. Poor Alexander being the only boy, besides Jackson, at the birthday party. Sunday was his first visit to church. I know now how hard it is to get to chruch on time with a newborn, but we made it and he did really good through the whole service. Then we took are first trip to the Zoo. We had a blast. We went with my cousin and some friends of ours and their 5 month old. Jackson did great till the end. I don't think he really got to appreciate the love for the animals yet, but it was still fun ;) But all in all it was a great weekend of first!

Lynlee and Jackson's first trip to the Zoo!
