Just a little laugh...

Jackson thought it was hilarious to make funny spitting sounds last night. I promise it will make your day to hear him laugh. Theres nothing like a belly laugh from a baby!!!

Jackson is Crawling!!!

Jackson is now crawling..about 5 to 6 steps, and then he falls. I can't believe how big he is and how mobile is is becoming. The sight of him moving around is still so exciting to see. Now I can put him on the floor with some toys and he can entertain himself for a good 20-30 minutes! That is as long as he doesn't decide to reach for the nearest table/remote control/phone. I am definately having to say "NO" to him more now than ever before. I dont think he gets teh meaning of it yet but he will have to sooner than later. We are going to have to start baby-proofing Amy and Gunars house so that he can crawl around without having to worry about him hurting himself. Everything else is going really good. We had the day off yesterday so that was a nice break! I was sick with a sinus infection for a couple of weeks and it got a lot worse before it got better. I finally went to the doctor to get an antibiotic for it and am starting to feel "normal" again. Now I just can't wait for Thanksgiving! Jackson will get to meet his new baby cousin Michael which will be exciting! Enjoy the beautiful weekend that we're supposed to have:)

I can't get this picture to appear correctly but this is Jackson a couple of weeks ago with his Auntie Kelly:)

Halloween

So Jacksons first Halloween was much more fun than I even anticipated on it being. He was a Jackolantern on Friday and Saturday during hte day and then Saturday night he was a bumble bee (as you can see) Aside from the few smiles we got, he didn't seem to like the costume that much. Its a costume that his cousin Donte wore when he was a baby so we thought we would keep it going. I also put a picture of him with Marlo, Amy, and Gunars playing in the morning. Marlo is very tame with him, but just likes to lick, lick, and lick. He is now 7 months and can crawl for a few steps, but then falls down. I know I'm going to miss him just laying there and playing once he is getting into everything under the sun. He is saying a lot f dada's and baba's and just plain babbling. He is also 20 lbs. already! And I swear I'm not overfeeding him! Although he does have an excellent appetite and will take a bottle/food by anyone/anytime. I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and can't wait for a yummy turkey dinner!

I am obviously putting this picture up to show off Jackson! Not my pale look! Oh do I wish it were July in the sun. haha! I just had to acknowledge this because anyone that knows me knows that I hate being pale! Anyway, Amy and I had a photo session this morning because we loved his preppie (Spelling?) monkey shirt from his Uncle Brad. Its really cute on him. He will be 7 months this coming week!!! He is all over the place, eating all of his fruits and veggies(obviously, you can see this by the chunks) and still working on his crawling. He gets up in form but then ends up scooting backwards. I'm sure it will happen soon. Also, a funny story- at his daycare his teachers have to feed him after the other babies because he gets so upset and cries if he doesn't get all of the attention and food to himself. I thought it was so funny, and we hope that he grows out of this as he gets older. It definately won't be cute as he gets older:) Jimmy and I will have to spend some extra time teaching him about sharing. He is our little piglet and we love him for it:) I hpe everyone has a good weekend, I know I am looking forward to it!!! TGIF

Here is a picture of Jackson from almost 2 weeks ago. I wanted to share because it turned out so beautiful in black and white. It was taken at a benefit that we went to. My sister got it through an email from the benefit and made it black and white. Thanks to whoever took it! Doesn't he look so big! He is trying so hard to crawl and can get up to do the motion, but just can't move his hands and legs with it yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks. I have a feeling we will miss the days before he was crawling. He is 6 1/2 months old and is full of personality! I'm still not sure what he (or any of us) will be for Halloween. Possibly a bumble bee that our nephew Donte used when he was a baby. It would defintely make a cute picture. As soon as I get some, I will get them up to share:) Have a great weeked!!!

Go Bears!

Resting up for the Bears game. Thanks Auntie Jackie for the awesome Hester Jersey!
I took this picture when Jackson had already been in bed for a couple of hours. I walked in and saw that his foot was hanging out of the crib. Maybe this is normal? Maybe not? Anyway, it was defintely a kodak moment to me. Of course I fixed the foot problem so that he wouldn't wake up crying in the middle of the night from his foot being stuck, awwwww.

How do you explain this? All I will say is that it was late on a Saturday night in the garage and a game of Beer Pong. Its Mike (Linseys Love) Jimmy (What a creep!) Gunars (These are his hats) and Tom Eddy (who woke up in a different place than where he fell asleep) haha. Just thought it was a good laugh!
