A Big Week Ahead!!!







Well we have a BIG week coming up! We are moving out of the condo on Sunday (and into Amy and Gunars) while looking for a house. Monday Jackson will start at his little daycare for a few hours to get used to the new environment (what will I do with myself?!?!?!?!) and Wednesday I am officially starting the new school year. It is a bittersweet feeling for me because part me loves my job and working and the other part of me has gotten VERY comfortable being at home with Jackson everyday and just doing what we please on a daily basis. It is going to be a huge change for all of us. No one likes change but I guess when it has to happen, why not throw it at me all at once. I can guarantee that there will be tears a few times but thats what my family and friends are there for. The past 5 months have created the most amazing moments for Jimmy and I thanks to Jackson being such a sweet, loving, and beautiful baby. I know that going back to work will only make me appreciate even more the precious moments that I have with him. My job is also very ideal for being a mom. A six hour school day and coworkers/friends that have become even closer since I've had Jackson. Although it is a big change, I am confident that it will be a good change for us all! Here are a few recent pictures of Jack. Of course, I am holding him a little tighter in these last few days:)

The picture explains it all. Jackson had his first taste of baby food (Peas, yuck!) today. He didn't like them at all, who does right?!?!??! In the pictures above he had sampled several spoonfuls and is totally discusted. The ones below are a little more pleasant. That was just the beginning. To bad he has to stick with peas for at least a couple more days before moving onto green beans, mmmmm!





I can't wait to go to the Shedd Aquarium. Hopefully pictures will be coming of that soon!

A Day at the Beach

Like my beach outfit?!?!?!??!
We made the best out of a cloudy day at the beach. If we didn't have Jackson to entertain us I think we would have just turned around and left! He was completely fascinated by the waves and sounds of the water. He also got buried in the sand from his waist down. Talk about some fun in the sand:)
He didn't really like the water hitting his feet but once he was picked up he could have watched it all day long. Obviously, I haven't had much time in the sun.




This is my friend Kristins baby, Grace. She was flirting with Jackson like crazy, but Jackson seemed to not want to talk details with her. So typical of a boy/girl. Oh, and thats Jill on the left who is about to have her first baby in September. We can't wait for Baby Olszta to arrive to play with all the time:) Hurry up already Jill!!!





Wow this swing is awesome!!! He didn't want to get out...
