Still Here

Yes I know we haven't blog. But I have been so busy lately. The past 3 weeks have been crazy for us. I had my cousin bachlorette party one weekend the next her bridal shower and then last weekend thunder. It seemed that we only had one week to plan for each event. We were so jammed pack. But enough with the excuses. Jackson is doing great we discovered today that he is getting his molars in right now. It's been rough the past few days tring to figure out what was going on, he wasn't eating or sleeping much, some days he would have a minor fever and had little red bumps around his mouth. All these were signs of teething but he never did this with the first 4. He doing much better after we figured out what it was. It's rough trying figure this stuff out. Jackson is still not crawling but is really trying to walk. I really don't know when he is going to do either. At his 9 month check up he weighed 21 lbs and 28 1/2 inches long. He's a big boy. He has learned 2 more words dog & doggie and dirty. He doesn't say dirty to often though. He loves animals last week we took him to my grandpa's farm to see the pigs and cow. And he loved every minute of it. He would actually grab the hay and feed it to the cows. Well I just thought I would update you all on whats been going on.

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.

I Know I Know

I know that I haven't blog lately. We have been really really busy. We meaning I decided I didn't like the look of our kitchen floor so we went to Home Depot and bought some new flooring. Matt and Dad worked non-stop all week to get it done because I was hosting my cousin's bachlorette party Friday which we reschuled because of the snow. Boo! But it looks a thousand times better. The old floor was white but it started turning colors, plus with 3 dogs white isn't a good color. We did get everyone together to go sledding, and how much fun was that. We went Friday night and Sat. afternoon it was so much fun. In totally about 14 people went. We had so much fun. Jackson is getting so big. He's still not crawling but everytime he stands up he tries to adventure out to walking. Jackson is doing this really cute thing when I go to tickle him he reaches back and tries to tickle me. I really need to get video of it. He is going tommorrow to get his Easter pictures done. So I will get those posted.

This is me trying to catch a ride with Matt on the way up. It was hard climbing that flood wall.

I am about to hit a ramp the guys built I went down it 4 times. The first 3 I clipped the edge. 4th time I went airborne and flipped backwards on my right side. Yes, I'm sore!!

The Heintzman's Latest

So not much has been going on ok maybe it has and there is no excuse for me not to blog. So Matt started his job on Monday and so far so good. He seems to be enjoy it so far. I started my new job Monday. Staying home so far so good on that too. It's been kinda weird not going to an actual job, but everything has really been the same since I'm doing everything I did before except I'm not working a 40 hr week on top of that. Grandma has really been enjoy the extra time with Jackson and so am I, and now I'm also watching my 6 year old cousin Caleb. I have been taking and picking him up from school everyday. I tell you what this kid is a HAM!! He is so hyper but adorable. I will not have 2 kids with this big of an age difference between Jackson and Caleb. Jackson is doing more new stuff everyday. He has really started lifting his chest up like he was going to start crawling and today he actualy lifted his butt up too (for about 2 seconds). This child is actually starting to like laying on his belly. He started the other day saying daddy instead of dada. And yesterday he said mommy instead of mama. I am loving every minute of it. Well hopefully I'll have so more pictures soon.

The Latest

Everything has been going good. Jackson is doing new stuff everyday. He started this whole screaming laugh thing a couple of days ago don't know where that came from, and last night he started making his smouch face when all of the suddon he started blowing spit everywhere. He loves doing that now.

He just made the transfer to 3-6 month jeans, yes I said 3-6. This child's bottom half is never going to catch up to the top half.

He really loves to suck on his toes now. He has become a lot more flexible now.

He has a nice goose egg on the side of his head today. He was sitting up on the changing table when he starting leaning over to the right before I could catch him he hit his head on the side of the table. He cried for awhile and so did mommy. It broke my heart. I couldn't believe it. I felt so horrible for awhile even though he was fine and laughing 5 mins after it happened. He's such a trooper. I have been sick all week and still feeling really bad. Tuesday I had some kinda flu I guess and Thursday I came up with a cold. Today I felt the worse. Matt did find him another job making a little less than before and it is first shift. Before he was working 2nd shift and I would go into work for a little bit before he had to be at work at 3:00. So we decided it would be best for me to stay at home with Jackson and help my mom take care of my Grandma. It was a decision that we had to make because I couldn't bring myself to put him in a daycare and I know that my mom really needs my help with my grandma. I have been helping her at night since she broke her leg, but it is getting to the point where someone needs to be with her during the day. I am excited to be able to stay home with Jackson now. Friday is my last day at work which is sad because I know the girls will miss me ;) and I will miss being around them too, because they are all family to me. But I will bring Jackson down to visit because he loves it there, I don't know why, just kidding :)

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.
