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

The Ups and Downs

Ok for the past year meaning last Jan. things have been up and things go smack down to the lowest of lows, and it's been like that for the past year. So I don't know if everyone is up to date with everything that has been going on. To start off Last year in a nut shell- Got into a wreck almost total my car, next week thought I was going to loose my job. Found out we were going to have a little boy, next day my father in law passed away. Gave birth to the most wonderful human being ever, 2 weeks later my Grandmother passed away. Matt got into a wreck almost total his car. This year hasn't started off to well either. So to the point Matt got laid off from his job. So it has been a very roller coaster ride year. I had to go back to work full time so we could have insurance and not to mention money. It's killing me that I now have 17 hours less with my baby, I just feel like I'm missing out so much. But we just keep on saying it will get better and this past year has been a test of our faith. So please pray for us that things will get back to normal.

Party At My Crib

So I had my first New Years Party. It was so much fun. I was fighting to go asleep but finally gave it up at 11:30. Me and my buddy Nolan had so much fun. We played with all the toys I got for Christmas. I had a little fit when I saw him playing in my Jump-a-roo, but I soon calmed down when others distracted me. I also got to open more Christmas presents. Nolan got me an outfit and a cute book. Shawne and Kristina got me this toy were all these balls pop up in the air, and this huge stuffed dog that I love to snuggle up too. After wearing down mommy and Hollie put us both to sleep in my room. Yeah! my very first sleep over until I woke up in the morning to find that Nolan was gone. He must have slipped out while I was asleep. We had so much fun I can't wait to do it again. Well thats all for now. Enjoy the pictures. Bye-Bye;)
Jackson

Jackson's First Christmas

Christmas was great. This has got to be the best Christmas ever. Jackson got so many presents. It took him a while to open everything and taking breaks here and there, but it was so much fun. We had such a busy Christmas this year. Sunday before Christmas we had it with my mom's side and everyone was there. Jackson got some cute outfits and some neat toys. He slept most of the day though I guess he was really tired from everything going on. Christmas Eve we went out to my Aunt Roxanne's and Jackson got to see Santa again. He was so cute he loved Santa. On Christmas morning we got up and me and Matt did our own Christmas which was great. Matt got me some much need clothes and after that we went to my parents house to meet up with them and Grandma Carrie, Kayla and Mikal. We had a great breakfast and then on to the presents. He got all kinds of stuff. From cute little outfits to all the toys you can think of. Grandma Carrie got him this cute jack-in-the-box. It took her forever to find one. Mom and Dad got him the sing along stage. He really likes to play with that. It lights up and has a mirror and plays music. He also got a rocking horse from Hank and Lana it is too cute when he gets on it he holds it by the ears and hair. He loves everything he got and will really play with anything you stick in front of him. We are truely blessed this year that we had a wonderful Christmas with our healthy baby boy.

The Christmas Party

Saturday was so much fun we went and helped at the Angel Tree distribution and later on that night we went to Wooden Glenn for our Christmas Party. We had a blast and it was just so beautiful out there with the snow and everything. We all had a great time. Thank you John and Vicky you guys are the best. We haven't been out there since we got married 3 years ago. The food was awesome. It was so funny looking around and seeing half the people I work with and the other half is from church ;) I always ask Vicky how many more people she could hire for CIC, but their all great people to work with.

Jackson loved Santa! This was his first time with him.

He really loves opening presents.

I don't believe Christmas is a week away. I'm so glad I have my shopping done. I can't wait for Jackson's First Christmas. This has been far the best Christmas ever!

Another One

So Saturday we went to have our family pictures done, and during them Jackson started to get really fussy, unusual for him we really didn't know what was wrong but we got some good pictures anyways. Then we went to my cousins Christmas party he wasn't to bad just tired. Sunday morning he woke up fussy and guess what we found another tooth coming in right next to the other one. So I really think he's going to get his 2 front teeth for Christmas. He's been pretty good about it. It seems to only hurt the first couple days when it starts coming in. We are so excited about it. He's been in a pretty good mood the past 2 days. He has been waking up and talking extremely loud. This high pitch talk that wakes up every morning it is way too cute though. We love it. Well here are his 6 month pictures.


This one is my favorite!
I don't know I really like this one two! He reminds me of the paperboys from back in the old days.
This picture cracks me up. He look like a little mafia child telling kids "Give me your money"

Everything Going Good

So I took some good pictures of Jackson touching the tree. And he had his first cookie yesterday I took some great pictures of that too. And I just remembered I left my camera at work:( Boo so I will have to post them later. Jackson is doing awesome his tooth is coming in a little at a time but it doesn't seem to bother him much, knock knock on wood! He is getting bigger and bigger, I think. This child is still in 0-3months clothes. We tired different 3-6 month outfits on and they don't fit. Some shirts do but not the pants. Oh well some day. All the clothes that we bought before he was born I don't think are going to work now. We prepared that he was going to be some giant child and he actually turned out smaller than we thought. Well I just thought to update, We have a busy weekend. Tomorrow we have his Christmas, 6 month, and family pictures and a Christmas party. Sunday we are helping with the Angel Tree. I'll post some pictures later.
