10 months

On June 4th our little duders turned 10 months! It's almost birthday time! So that day we did a little photo shoot. Here are a few of the many faces of Jackson!




He is such a good little boy. But definitely ALL boy! He is a very speedy crawler. And is also quite good at the bear crawl. He climbs on everything, including up the stairs and up the slide we have upstairs. He walks along furniture and even stands up without holding on to anything and balances for a few seconds. But still no interest in walking. He crys every time I try to walk with him while he holds my fingers. He has 8 teeth and still loves most food. He's given up most baby food and usually just eats what we're having. He loves playing with toilet paper. There is usually a trail of it all over the house. He says, "mama", "dada", "hi da", and a lot of other jibber jabber! He now shakes his head no when we ask him questions. A week after he turned 10 mo. he got his 1st eye infection and his 1st ear infection. He's on on eye drops and a liquid antibiotic that is reaking havoc on his tummy. Poor little guy. The dr. wasn't kidding when he said it would give hime diarrhea. And we still have 5 days of medication left. YUCK! He had become a really good sleeper at night, but of course this little illness has messed that all up. Still love him to pieces! Wish he wouldn't grow up so fast though!

Louisiana

The kids and I were able to go to Louisiana for 8 days for my brother's recpetion down there. It was so nice to spend time outside, finally! Jackson's 1st time in the swimming pool. He Loved it. He was splashing like crazy!
Of course Londyn loved it too!
One night we went to the park. Londyn is one of those rare people who actually has good hair in humidity! It was so fluffy and curly the whole time we were there.
We had to get crawfish while we were there YUMMY! Londyn even ate a few!

Louisiana cont.


They had fun playing with their cousins too. This is Jackson with Austin, aka "Bubba".
There is a splash park right by my parent's house that we went to. They loved it. Even Jackson did. He crawled all over the place and didn't care if water got on his face.
The kids also loved my mom's piano.
And we went for a walk around the block almost every morning or evening, sometimes both!

Grandmama's House

When were weren't doing wedding stuff in Idaho we were able to spend some time at my Grandma's house.
Jackson had a blast playing in her kitchen sink! Look at that cute little body!

He also liked playing outside with Max. Max on the other hand, wasn't too sure about him!

Cody's birthday was on May 5th. He woke up to a pancake breakfast with fresh berries and cream. Mmmm.
After Jackson's morning nap we headed over to his office to surprise him with ballons and chocolate white chocolate chip cookies.
The kids were super excited to see their daddy!
We met some friends at Costa Vida for dinner then went back home for more birthday treats and presents!

9 months

Today Jackson is 9 months old!
We went to see Dr. Zarbock bright and early this morning for his check-up. We got the Jungle Book room this time.
He said he is right on track for everything! He weighed 20 lbs 15 oz, which put him in the 60th %ile for weight. I can't believe that 40% more babies weigh more than him! Those are some big babies! He is in the 92nd %ile for height (wonder where he gets it?!) and 70th %ile for his cute little noggin'. When people make comments about him it's usually about what a cute shaped head he has, how dark his eyes are, or just how happy he is.
No shots at the appointment, Yay! But he did have his hemoglobin checked. He yelled at the nurse pretty good for poking his heel and wasn't too sure about the band-aids.
At 9 months he is CRAWLING all over the place and will pull himself to STAND on just about anything. He loves FOOD and loves to drink water out of a sippy. He SLEEPS up to 9 HOURS at night, but usally wakes up after 6 or 7. Dr. Zarbock siad "no more eating during the night." Did you hear that Jackson?! He naps very well during the day. He is a very smiley kid and makes friends just about everywhere we go. He's not much of a talker, but can say "mama", "dada".
Here is Londyn at 9 months. What a toe-head! At her 9 month appt, she was not even crawling yet, but she was saying a lot more! A difference between girls and boys I guess. I'm very grateful to have one of each; cute, smart happy ones at that! Love you guys!!

Tulip Festval 2010

We LOVE the Tulip Festival and look forward to it every year. This year we went twice! And since we are now so close to Thanksgiving point, we got a season pass so we can go there, and the farm and dinosaur museum as much as we want! And we can get guests in for 1/2 off, so come on!
The 1st night we went the weather was PERFECT! 80 degress!
Everytime I put Jackson down to take a picture by the tulips he would proceed to eat the dirt. he's ALL BOY!
