'Round and 'round we go....

Tuesday, Jackson got the pleasure of spending the entire day at home with his PawPaw. And on Tuesday, Jackson showed us his new trick. He now stands in the middle of the living room and puts one arm in the air and spins in circles until he gets dizzy, then falls down. Then...he just grins and giggles because he thinks its so fun and hilarious! Paul said it was the first time he'd ever seen him do something like that, and Tuesday night was my first time experiencing it too. He is too funny to watch! I tried to get a video but (of course) as soon as I tried he would stop spinning.

I just wonder what else he's learning at daycare? Or from his PawPaw for that matter! :)

Jackson 12 months

So...Jackson is really 13 months, but with the amount of Internet problems we have been experiencing over the last month (you don't even want to get me started), I have been having a hard time getting these pictures posted. If it hasn't been taken on my phone, you haven't seen it in the last little while....anyways.

Jackson had the most excellect airplane themed birthday party a few weeks past, but was feeling a little under the weather during his party (those darn teeth), so I decided he needed a do-over! Here are some of my favorites!


Jackson looking cool in his aviator sunglasses and camo! LOVE it! :)

Then came the sweets! Jackson looked at me like...."Do I really get to eat this??!!" when I gave him that sucker! He was such a sweet (literally), sticky mess by the end of this photoshoot! :)

Mmmmmm......

"This thing is awesome Mom!" :)

Think he likes it?? I think so....

* * * * * * * * * *

Then came the cake! Poor guy was running fever and was a little fussy with his first cake, but enjoyed himself while making a mess of this cake!

 

Happy Birthday Jackson!

My messy ONE year old baby boy!
Can you say "bathtime"??!!!

Messy, messy, messy! I just love this kid!


* * * * * * * * * *

After a long day of playing hard, taking pictures, getting super messy, and getting a good bath, my boy was down for the count! He had to sleep it off with a good long nap with some if his best buds (Snappy and Stripes)! :)

Is he not the most precious thing you have ever seen?

There is no way you could ever meet this child and not just fall head-over-heels in love with him!
He is the most precious soul! I just love him!

Subliminal messages??

So...let's be for real.

Baby Einstein has got to have some sort of subliminal messages embedded behind all the shapes, colors, puppets, and classical music. It just has to. My boy NEVER sits this still and/or is this attentive to anything for this long. He will sit there watching the tv for the longest. He doesn't watch regular tv (ever. He could care less) and will only watch Veggie Tales for a couple of minutes before he is up and into something. It is just unbelievable. And...these pictures were taken several minutes apart, after he'd been watching it for a while before that. Not to mention, I had walked through the room several times AND cleaned up his toys all around him. Now that is what is the craziest...he follows me around like a puppy dog every time I walk through the room in any other situation. Insane. That Baby Einstein is some good stuff! (At least to Jackson....me? I'd prefer the Veggie Tales myself!) :)

Getting up...

Jackson might fall down on occasion, but he knows how to get himself right back up! Just got to stick that booty as high in the air as possible! Pretty darn cute to watch! :)

Finally....

...thought he would never take a nap today! Just way too much going on that he could miss if he were asleep!

"Hello?!"

Jackson carried Marlie's cell phone around all afternoon, and he would hold it up to his ear like he was talking to someone on the phone. You could say "hello?" and he'd hold the phone up to his ear and grin! He would just chat away talking either to or about his "Da"....still his favorite subject.  I'm not sure, but I think that's pretty smart!

Also tonight....he learned how to climb the STAIRS! He thought it was a game, and he was really good at it too! That child has no fear. None. He also thought Marlie was just automatically supposed to climb the stairs with him (because she always did to make sure he was safe). He would start up the first step....look back at Marlie and grunt until she came to climb the stairs with him. He wore us all out....and he stressed me out! :) Marlie says we are going to have to get a "puppy gate" and I think she may be right!

Completely unrelated note: Marlie quote of the day...."Antelope have weird butts!" :) She ain't right....but she sure is hilarious! I love that kid....she made me laugh so hard!! :) Love you Mar!

Just a swinging.... :)

Jackson wanted to play outside so bad today (see Unhappy. post), we decided to take him to the park to swing. It was such a pretty day and I think Jackson enjoyed his swinging! He didn't want to stop! Eventually the swinging just about put him to sleep so we had to call it a day! Fun times...
