Today is Jackson's 15 month birthday! He actually gets to celebrate this February with today being Leap Day and all. We started off the morning by heading into Austin for the Cowboy Breakfast, which kicks off the Rodeo. Jackson has recently become completely obsessed with guitars and music so when we saw the band playing, he got so excited. We watched the band play for a bit and decided to move along. Well, Jackson wasn't having that. He kept signing more as we tried to walk away! So we stayed to watch a little bit more before heading on our way.
After breakfast, we headed back home for nap time. That's so important, you know! Jackson & I then headed to my friend Angie's for lunch and laughter! :) Jackson loves playing with Luke & Ellie Rae so he had a fantabulous time!
After Jackson's afternoon nap, we headed to Mimi's house for a catfish dinner. It's no meat Friday (Lent)! We hung out with Mimi for the evening and then called it a day.
I'll give an update sometime this weekend on what Jackson's been up to these days!

Buds
Jackson's buddy Graham came over to play last week. Jackson was thrilled as he really loves Graham. He gave him lots of friendly head butts, tried to sit in his lap and even gave him a hug! The boys even got to go on a wagon ride around the neighborhood. It was very cute! You can check out some pix Danielle took on Graham's blog. Here's one I got of Jackson trying to sit on Graham! By the look on his face, I'm not sure that Graham was real thrilled with all the affection! ;)

Kitchen Cabinet
Raiding the kitchen cabinets is one of Jackson's favorite things to do! He has 2 kitchen cabinets that he's allowed to get into, the rest are off limits. He usually takes out a few things to play with but on this specific day, he decided to empty out the entire cabinet but the mixer and that was only because it was too awkward for him to really grab. Cleaning it all up wasn't so bad. He actually helped me put things back, which makes this mama proud! I'm doing my best to instill my organizational skills upon him. His future wife will thank me! ;)

Rice Play
What a disaster! I don't remember where I read about this activity for toddlers but I thought it sounded interesting so we thought we'd try it out. Well, this toddler was so not ready for rice play! What a mess! Jackson just started throwing rice everywhere!! It was actually pretty funny. Now cleaning up rice that went all over the kitchen in every nook & cranny was a whole other story!

Valentine's Day Fun
On Valentine's Day Jackson & I went to the New Braunfels Children's Museum with his friends, Ellie Rae and Luke, and their mommy Angie. It was a very special day in that it was also Ellie Rae's third birthday! Wow, the NB museum was awesome! So much better than the Austin Children's Museum...in my opinion. As soon as we walked in the door Jackson immediately spotted an oar and took off with it, knocking and banging things & people along the way. Trying to take it away was not an option...he'd pitch a fit! So the minute he got distracted and put the oar down, I grabbed it and hid it! :) Bad mommy! After spending about 2 hours at the museum we headed to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and then back home to Kyle. We all had so much fun and we can't wait to go back!

So Behind! Part Two
Visit to Bryce's house
Back in mid-January, Jackson & I went over to visit Ann & Bryce. Jackson & Bryce hadn't hung out in a long time so this visit was long overdue. They had a great time!
At Home
This is Jackson's GloWorm. He sleeps with it during every nap time and at night. He loves it. Every time he sees it, he instantly puts his thumb in his mouth and gets ready for night-night.
I love, love, love this picture of my precious boy! I'm so sad that it came out blurry. He was on the go and headed straight towards me so I took it as fast as I could.
Visit to Graham's
Jackson hadn't seen his friend Graham in a while so we went over for a visit just recently. Graham shared his cool toys and showed off his mad crawling skills. We were very impressed!
Cozy Coupe Accident
In late January it had been pretty cold around these parts so we brought the Cozy Coupe inside for Jackson to play. All was going so well when all of a sudden Jackson slipped out of the bottom and was run over by his very own car. Getting run over seems to be a theme with the kid! Poor guy was so upset but mom & dad were bent over, dying with laughter!
Outside with Biso
Jackson loves his Great Grandpa (Biso) so much and always has so much fun with him. They had a great time together playing around outside one day.
Whew, that was a lot of updating!! So that was January. I'm hoping to not fall too far behind this month. Until next time!
