Fairytale Town

A few weeks back Mimi, Zane and Auntie Jess came to visit us and spent a Friday babysitting while mommy worked for a few hours. Jackson got to play with Zane a lot and took a walk to a fabulous little park located in our neighborhood. Jackson frequents this park with mommy or Yaya on a daily basis to swing, walk and throw the ball.

It was so great to have Jack and Zane together although Jackson did not stop giving him kisses the entire weekend. Zane was a good sport and just sat there while Jackson smooched away!! We spent the next day at Fairytale Town where Jackson got to give Humpty Dumpty a lot of kisses, walk around the park, listen to music and go down a few slides...with mommy of course.

Jackson is to the point where he absolutely loves being around kids and although he is usually the youngest one...he is also the bossiest. Here are a few from these two adventures!




Giving kisses to Humpty!


Very content just sitting in the grass--and holding a leaf.


Eyes are focused on Auntie JJ's Blackberry...Ready to swoop in and take that as soon as she is done with the picture.


On the swings with Mimi


At the end of the day..tired baby boy!

Where has the time gone?

Walking around like a big boy.


Playing in the sand in San Francisco


Hanging with Daddy


Celebrating Mommy's 28th birthday.

We have a lot going on with this little boy. He is now basically running around the house and only stopping to swipe something he shouldn't and carry it down the hall.





He loves to feed Mishka some of his food by dropping it on to the floor while sitting in this high chair. This is probably the only time that she shows some interest in him.





Jackson is now equipped with 7 teeth and sometimes likes to use these teeth for things other than chewing food. We are trying to break him of the biting, but even at 10 months, he is already defiant. :)





We are having so much fun and cherish all of his milestones.

These legs are made for walking...

Truly amazing! Jack is walking and sometimes on the verge of running around our house. He went from taking a few steps last week, to now walking across the room. He is a very good multi-tasker and can sometimes clap his hands while walking.

We had a great 4th of July and Jack absolutely loved his first fireworks experience. He clapped his hands and smiled the whole time. This after he was a perfect angel at our friend's pool and bbq.

Jack still says "mama" and stomps his feet when he is mad. We are trying to get him to say "dada" but think "Mishka" might be the next word.

Here are a few of Jack's latest pictures.

So smart at 9 months

Jackson is pretty amazing and has conquered so much in the last month. He finally cut two teeth, can stand on his own, can recognize and pick up specific toys you ask him about..and in the last week has starting saying "mama, mama"....so cute and adorable. Now if only Pete can get him to say "dada"

We spent the weekend in Santa Rosa and Bodega Bay in honor of my dad. It is hard to believe it has been two years. Although Jack never met Papa, he wrote him a note and got to send a balloon to him in heaven.

8 months

We have been a little lax about posting lately but thought since Jackson is 8 months old today that we would put up some new pictures. He is cruising right along with his crawling, and pushing his car all over the house. His latest thing is to crawl on his knees while pushing the car--hilarious to see.

Jackson is enjoying eating his Cheerios and baby food. We are hoping he will like to sleep through the night as well some time SOON!!

7 months of absolute cuteness!!

The cutest profile

We are in trouble


Love walks with mom and dad


That profile again..


DJ Jack with his new sunglasses


I know, we can't believe he is 7 months either! It seems like yesterday when we were so excited that Jackson could do tummy-time for 5 minutes. Now--if only we had 5 minutes!! He is crawling like crazy, pulling himself up on whatever he gets his hands on and enjoying walks facing frontwards in his stroller.

Business

Two little monkeys!

What a big boy

Lets go..

Bye, mom..

So stinkin' cute

We have a lot of business going on in our house! Jackson has been sitting up for about a month, but in the last couple of weeks has started to scoot on his bottom, pull himself up and within the last week has started crawling! We can not believe it and are not so sure we are ready for it yet! :) We have included a few of his most recent pictures.
