Sippy Cup and New Chair

 Gramma gave Jackson a new sippy cup!

 L'll Texan!

Jackson feels like such a big boy!

 AND now he even feels like MORE of a big boy!!

He got himself a new chair.

We love this chair.

We really want him to start feeding himself.

HE LOVES IT!

He doesn't know what to do with a spoon as far as feeding himself goes...

which I don't expect him to know that, but he loves chewing on the spoon after I have fed him his meal.  He just sticks that spoon in and out of his mouth.

I can't believe my little baby Jackson is growing up soooo fast!!

Sleeping TIme

Tonight (Jan. 16th) when we were watching TV, Jackson came and sat with Dad.

 Soon he looked like this....

And then like this....

And finally...he was asleep!!!

This is Dad's favorite part of being a Dad...

Cuddling up with his precious sleeping baby boy!

Graham Cracker Love

(Catch up from January 11)

Yesterday Jackson and I went to Scouts.

I am now over the Bears.

Jackson loves to come and hang out with the boys.

He loved today even MORE because he got to have Graham Crackers for the FIRST time.

He was in love!

He was wondering why it took me so long to introduce him to such goodness.

He was so thankful that the other leader, Lisa, talked me into giving him one.

 The next day I thought he could have some for a snack.

He again LOVED them.

 Most of them, however, ended up at the bottom of the Bumbo seat.

Don't worry once I took him out of it, he tried with all of his might to get them out of the bottom of that Bumbo seat.  He was quite successful.

He just can't seem to get enough of those Graham Crackers.

Jackson's 6-months Photo Shoot

 Our little boy is GROWING UP!

I just CANNOT get over this smile!

 It just melts my heart!

 Such a big boy!

I love this one.

It just makes me think that he is taking a photo at school!

 Love him!

This is a new face he has started doing.

It is his FAKE cry look!

Do ya see the little tooth coming through?

 "Ok, I will sit here and let you take a picture of me!"

Oh my!

We had such a great time taking pictures of this little guy!

Our friend, Morgan, is the photographer.

She did such a WONDERFUL job!

I can't even handle how good these pics came out.

Thank you AGAIN Morgan!

You have some serious talent.

Gymnastics Please

On January 11th, we met up with some Mom's and their little ones for a little Play Date.

We went to Open Gym at a Gymnastics gym in Idaho Falls.

Jackson absolutely LOVED every second of it.

He crawled ALL over the mats.

He played in the Foam Pit!

He wasn't QUITE sure about it at first....

 But once he got use to it...

He had a blast.

He even got to play on the trampoline.

I wonder if this means we are going to have a gymnast in our future.

A Brand New Year

It is 2012!

Wow!  Another year is here and we can't wait to see what it will bring us.

We left San Antonio on the 1st and headed up to Lubbock.

We stayed there that night and then bright and early Monday morning on the 2nd we headed up to Utah.  Man it was such a LONG day. But, we are so happy we were able to spend a few days in Utah with Andrew's family.

 Jackson and ML had a great time playing with eachother.

It is so fun to see them as they both grow.

They are going to be the best of cousins!

 Jackson did some more playing at Nana and PopPops and then it was time for us to head home.

We got home on the 4th.  Andrew starts his last semester on the 5th!!!

The end is in our sights.

 When we got home there was a package waiting for Jackson.

My Uncle Lenny and Aunt Paula sent Jackson this awesome Dinosaur toy.

As you can see Jackson LOVES it!!!!

He got even MORE excited when I pushed a button and it sang the ABCs to him.

Thank you so much Uncle Lenny and Aunt Paula.

I am sure this is going to be become his favorite toy!!!

It was nice to be home.  We of course had some shoveling to do.

But it is always nice to come home after a very long vacation.

We loved being able to see everyone that we did and we look forward to this Brand New Year!
