He'll be walking before you know it!



Jared and I figured we had at least three more months before we had to chase after Jackson, but we are already out of breath, and he is only getting faster! Our little man is growing up! Jackson walks along furniture, pushes his lion, and walks while holding our hands. He's our little man, but he is such a big boy! He's a smarty pants too!
As you see in the picture to the right, he is not a big fan of the sunglasses. Shortly after this pic, he put the glasses in his mouth and then stuck his tongue out at me!! Then he laughed! He laughed at his little gesture! He is only 9.5 months old and he is already playing jokes on us! What an amazing joy! I hope all of you get the chance to really get to know Jackson and fall in love with him! He is such a blessing - I say it all the time, but he is really such a blessing!
Well, it is late and the bed is calling! Next post: pics of our new home! Yeahoo! We close on Monday and pics will be posted within 24 hours of closing!

So little time, but so much to blog about...



I was reminded the other day that I have not updated my blog in a long time. Sorry! Life is so crazy with a baby! Not to mention David's wedding last weekend, Jared travelling more often, and oh yeah! We are closing on a house at the end of this month! I am going to look at paint colors this weekend and my only guidelines from Jared - no pink! I think I can manage that since I am a HUGE fan of pink, but not everything should be pink!

My little man is now over 9 months old and looks so much like his daddy! They are my two favorite guys - so handsome! Jackson is crawling, pulling himself up, and walking with the help of anything he can hold on to. He is growing so quickly! He has four+ teeth and has his first dentist appt on Friday. Yes, first tooth, first visit! We want Jackson to start off with the best health possible and that includes his teeth! He even drink whole milk now!

As I said before, we close on our house at the end of this month. It has a huge backyard, nice deck, big upstairs, and with an unfinished downstairs - we can finish it and add a fireplace and two more rooms. It also has a three stall garage!

Jared and I are so blessed to be Jackson's parents. He amazes us every day and we love him so much! His eyes and smile brighten up every room he enters.

I promise after things have settled with the house, we will post more often! Next time, we will post pics of the house!

Till next time!
