Botancial Gardens

Wow, two posts in one day!!! Last weekend we had some fabulous cool weather which allowed us to spend a lot of time outside. We again, frequented the park in our neighborhood, but also spent an afternoon with a picnic at the Botanical Gardens to celebrate Jackson's 11 month birthday. This picnic was full of walking, looking at trees, flowers, acorns and butterflys.

Jackson has been walking now for almost two months and on occasion thinks he can run. While at the Botanical Gardens he started running, got wobbily and fell. He had a little bruise on the side of his head for a few days but definitely did stop him from having fun.

Enjoy this latest group of pics!




Absolutely love this picture...Walking with daddy!



What? Sorry, I can't hear you tell me to turn around and come back...too busy!!

Silly daddy...I might just grab your glasses when you least expect it.

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.

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