9 Months Old

Jackson is 9 months old! Wow...he's been on this earth for 9 months! Unbelievable!

Crawling!

Well it finally happened! Jackson FINALLY crawled!!!!!! It took forever for him to get going. Really, it took like a month and a half. He mastered pulling himself up to his knees and then his feet. He mastered the art of scooting on his little behind and crawling backwards but crawling forward was just out of his reach. On Thursday though, something clicked! He was rocking on his hands and knees and just took off! We were so excited for the little guy!! Now we have some serious baby proofing to do around the house and the cats....poor cats, they're in for it now.
Unfortunately, we don't have any action shots to share. We've been so busy getting back to normal from our trip that our camera is who knows where! Although, we do have some bath time pics from a few weeks back to share! So enjoy those for now and we'll get back to ya soon.

By the way, I'll be out of commission for a few days. I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled bright & early tomorrow morning. :( Wish me luck!

Silly

Jackson was eating small bits of banana the other day and got a piece stuck to his face. He had no idea it was there and it was the funniest thing! Of course, we had to grab the camera and take a picture! What a silly little guy.

By the way, this silly little guy will be on vacation for the next 8 days. He's off to sunny California for some r&r and quality time with family. Watch out Hollywood....here comes Jackson! Maybe he'll make his big break in showbiz and bring his mommy & daddy millions! We can only hope! ;)

Little Compadres

Jackson's compadre Daniel came over with his mommy Wendy for a little get together the other day. The boys haven't really interacted too much b/c they've always been big lumps on a log but now that they're both sitting up and moving around, they really took notice of each other. It was a hoot! We couldn't stop laughing at how they interacted. If only we knew what they were thinking! :)

Trip to the Fire Station

Jackson went to visit his daddy at Station 17 recently. He had a great time checking out the ladder truck and seeing some of daddy's coworkers. He can't wait to go back!

Friends of all ages!

On Tuesday, Jackson & I got together for an afternoon of fun with my former coworkers from Bedichek. We all met at Barbara's place. Danielle came with her little man, Graham (4 months old) and Adriana attended with her little cutie, Avery (7 weeks old). We all had a great time hanging out, talking, and passing babies around! Unfortunately, Jackson & I had to leave a little early because he became incredibly tired. We look forward to meeting up with our friends again soon!
