First Easter

Let me start off by saying Holidays are so much more fun when you have children!! Jackson got so much for Easter it was like Christmas again. We woke up and went to church. He looked so cute in his little suit. Then we went home and let him open what the Easter Bunny brought him he loved everything. We got him his first soft baseball bat and ball, candy bunny, an animal for his animal train, and chicken that does the chicken dance, bath toys, and a shirt that says Perfect Gentleman in training.

Then we went out to my aunt and uncle's. Where he didn't do much but eat and play in a empty diaper box, (spend all that money and play in something we had). Then out to my parents where he got stuffed peeps and metal bucket with plastic eggs and candy!!! Thanks mom and dad. But I think mommy and daddy will eat that.

Ahh Yeah that's his!

Then off to Grandma Carrie's. For her mac and cheese and ham. yum!! By the end of the day he was so tired and fussy he slept from 9:00pm till 9:45am. Thank you!! Jackson has still not crawled but today he did take 2 steps while holding my hands he used to just stand there. Everyday he stand by himself longer and longer. He is holding onto furniture. Jackson is doing really great, he is eating all table foods not much of the baby food anymore. I can't wait to see how much his weight is now, he goes to the doctor next week. Length wise he goes from the top of my head to my waist. Crazy. I'll try to keep you updated!!

These was his Easter and 9mths pictures we had taken.

7 Months

Oh my. Is it really been 7 months. You have grown so fast. You have been really blooming this past month. A couple of weeks ago you really started sitting up on your own. You have been talking more and more hopefully we can announce your first word soon. I think it will be bye-bye or Dada (or maybe mama, please!!)

You love almost all baby food and whatever we're eating. Not too much of the green beans and strawberries. You just started drinking out of a sippy cup but still get kinda mixed up when going back to the bottle.

Your two bottom teeth are coming in very well.
You love to have naked time after your bath so you can stretch out and you just started sucking on you toes.
You are so cute when you smile. Your smile will stretch for miles. We love you so much and can't wait to see what you've become in the next months

More Pictures

Ok so last night I was up cleaning until 4 am and at 3am I came to my computer for a break and posted these pictures of him. This morning I get up and check it and it's not there? I swear I put these on last night. Oh well I hope you enjoy them. Everything is going great. He is doing great and me and Matt don't believe he is already going to be a month old next week. It's crazy!

My litttle slugger!

He yawned through the hold photo shot, but stayed awake (I love this one)

My First Pictures

So we had a pretty long week, but everything is starting to calm down now. We were out at my Grandma's everyday all day until she passed away on July 4th. She will truly be missed. After figuring it all up, she had 12 children, 38 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, and 4 great great grandchildren. Crazy! She really taught us all what a family means. After being with the McCormick's all week. Me and Matt actually got to hold Jackson today. It seemed that all week all we got to do was change and feed him. Every time I turned around someone else had him or people were fighting over him. But he was great! I'm so excited that he actually turned out to be a great baby. He only cries when he's hungry or needs a change. Saturday we went and got his pictures taken. He stayed awake the whole time. I hope he is like that every time. While we was doing naked shots and me holding him pee shot straight across the studio. I just died laughing, at least it didn't get on me. Here are some pictures from yesterday and some I took from last week. I'll trying posting more of the professionals later.

My cousin Emma Jo loves holding me!

My cousin Caleb loves holding me too!
