Hey Jackson, over here!

"Yay!"

Pictures from the past week

Hi All!
Just wanted to post a bunch of cute Jackson pictures from the past week. Hope everyone is doing well. We still cant believe Jackson is almost 2 years old. The other day I saw this quote and it hit home

It is truly amazing how someone so small 
could inspire a love so grand.

Summer Updates

So hopefully everyone has had an enjoyable Summer, and kept cool! Jackson has been quite busy with a family trip to Florida, Music Together Classes with Mommy, and of course tons of fun with his Nanny.  His new favorite thing is pretend cooking/eating, so we brought his Grill set to his play area, and he loves it! He is always "cooking" up something up yummy! Below is a compilation of photos from this Summer.

"No Pictures Please!"

"Now where did I put those keys?"

Step back and watch the Grill Master work!

Needs more salt!

"Ah, that's better!"

Time to check on those steaks!

Foods Done!

Keepin' Cool

What crazy summer weather we have been having, it's been scorching, humid, and even rainy at times, so Jackson has been staying in a lot.  He has developed some new interests over the past few weeks, one of which is playing with his kitchen and grill set.  He loves getting mixing bowls and spoons and pretend "cooking", he will even stir in the bowl and pretend eating, it's too cute.

His vocabulary has also improved, he is using a lot more inflection in his voice, and is repeating things more, so I'm working on the ABC's, 123s, and colors.  He has also learned how to blow kisses!

Since we have been inside, I've been working on Arts and Crafts with him, and below are a few of his projects he has done this week.

Hello All,

Just thought I'd add some updates on Jackson along with some new pictures.  He is doing so great, and growing like a weed! He's walking...er nearly running everywhere now and talking up a storm.  He is saying a few more words like "baby", "boo"-for peekaboo, and "goo boy"-For Friend, the dog.  He's eating great too and gaining weight.

Here are a few pics I've taken over the last couple weeks:

Julia got Jackson his own laptop and cell phone, he LOVES them!

Hmmm Times New Roman or Helvetica?

Cutie Pie
