Oh me Oh my!

Its been quite the busy week for Jackson and all of us. This weekend was my grandpa's 80th birthday celebration. We had tons to do during the week to get prepared. During all the running around Jackson managed to scrape his leg at the pool, fall while trying to help daddy take the trash out and scrape his forehead and get a black eye at target when he fell and hit a clothing rack! I think I might have a heart attack within these next few years.....or get CPS called on me for Jackson looking like he is beat up! I feel so bad for the little guy right now he is all banged up! But he could totally careless! He looked great for family pictures this weekend...let me tell you!!
He also got his hair cut this week and he did such a great job sitting for the lady while she did it. I think he managed to eat three lollipops in a 10 minute span. The last two nights due to the festivities for my grandpa he has not gone to bed until 10pm which is a tad later than his normal 830pm, but his cousins have been around to keep him throughly entertained!
On a side note....Friday I watched a friend's daughter (Bailey) for a couple of hours. Jackson and her are in a weekly playgroup together and they are just about the same age. They play together quite well but can I tell you this little princess has not one bruise on her! Nor does she ever trip on imaginary things, she takes her time getting on and off of toys and delicately moves on to the next thing. This is POLAR opposite of Jackson's world!!!! Oh the differences between boys and girls! Maybe God will bless us with a little girl one day....I can only hope and pray....if not He has a great sense of humor!!!

Musical Chairs....

So at the end of our day for some reason Jackson and I always end up playing in his room till its either A) its dinner time or B) daddy is home. Well yesterday Jackson wanted to sit in or on everything that he could in his room. It was like he was playing musical chairs! He sat for a few minutes his rocker, then on to his old bouncy seat, then to his rocking lion and lastly his crib. I had my camera on hand to document the whole thing. I just thought it was too cute not to share these pics!

4th of July

I hope everyone had a safe and fun filled 4th of July! I feel like we have been going going going since I got back from Nashville. Last weekend we celebrated my 27th birthday, my mom left for Norway and this weekend was the 4th.
For the 4th we had over my cousin Kandace and her family. As well as Kandace's best friend Robin and her family. We did a little BBQ'ing and some small fireworks for the kids early in the evening. Later, the street over from us had some crazy huge fireworks and Jackson was not too sure if he enjoyed them or not. The pictures I have enclosed are him watching us light the sparklers and little fireworks. He was definitely in aw of them!
Jackson is LOVING his tee ball set that his daddy bought him. He now can hit the ball if you throw it to him in the air. His new word this week is ''ball" which is not shocking! He is quite the little imitator now as well. Not just sounds and things but actions. I was vacuuming the base boards the other day and I turn around and there is Jackson with a vacuum attachment doing the exact same thing! I am SO loving this stage in his life. He is exploring, learning and growing by the day... its sad and SO amazing at the same time.
