Stud Muffin

I picked Jackson up from the nursery this morning and there were 3 two year old ladies swarming him. Is it the smile, the eyes, or the attire (compliments of his uncle brent and aunt emily)? Maybe a combo, but at least he has an appropriate label now. He is dragging himself around the apartment, so there is no hiding anymore! And he is much better at sitting up as well. We are going to take a walk today to enjoy this incredible weather. He is energized by being outside just like his parents.

Third Time is a Charm

Well, after three rounds of carrots, Jackson is becoming a pro. He has mastered holding the spoon and on Saturday night he picked up a small cup with both hands, put it to his mouth, and tipped his head back to drink...we are already obsolete! At this rate, he will be in the kitchen making his own food in no time. And no strange reactions to the carrots, so hopefully this week we can try something else.

Always has an eye on the camera.

Missed his mouth a bit.

He starts out in our den and then makes his way into the kitchen if I am cooking. He has now learned how to throw it into reverse!


We spent a lot of time outside this weekend, and now we are staying in due to the rain. We are looking forward to more spring weather though.

Entering the World of Food

I made Jackson some homemade babyfood (carrots) yesterday, and we let him try them last night. At first he was a bit confused, but he gobbled them all up pretty quick. We were not sure whether he liked the carrots or the spoon more, but either way it was a good experience. His faces were hilarious...funny for us to think about what it was like to taste food for the first time.


This is my personal favorite!

Still no crawling, but now he has started getting up on his toes in the pike position. His legs are just much stronger than his arms after 6 1/2 months of bouncing non-stop. It won't be long now.

Fast Weekend

We had a good weekend here in S.A. Saturday was beautiful, so we spent sometime outside by the pool. Jackson was waking up a lot last week during the night, but ever since Friday he has slept all night which is really nice for us. He is really happy when he has slept well. He is spending a lot more time on his hands and knees rocking, but no crawling yet.
