Jackson and Opa at the park

my sweet little girl!

Jackson didn't take his eyes off her, he thought it was so awesome that Bailey was swinging too!

I mean, is that cute or what?!?! I love John for thinking to do that ;) She loved it!

Stephen and Asya or as Jackson would say, "Undle Steve and As-see-ya"

Our Family

having a blast feeding the ducks

Jackson has the funniest posses! Love this one!

Opa was extra cool and let Jackson play with the "bower", his favorite toy next to the weed whacker, chain saw, lawn mower, and saws! Is he his daddy's boy or what?!?

We made the trip up to Memphis this year for Thanksgiving! It usually is a 6 hr drive, but it took us 8 on the way up. Lets just say it was not the best trip up and it involved Jackson stepping in dog poop, lots of other poop, and a whole lot of crying! hahaha We had a wonderful time while we were there and were waited on hand and foot by Nana and Opa. Dinner was delicious except for the fact that both kids screamed the entire time! We went and saw a drive through light display that we all really loved, especially Jackson. He had so much fun playing with Asya and I think she is his new best friend :) He has entered into a whole new territory and decided he can now climb out of his pack-and-play. My Dad discovered him in the office (that was where we had his sleeping) that first morning out and about with a stapler in his hand and playing with the fan and Jackson yelled "OPA"...as if he knew he was caught!! The next morning Mrs. Moe heard him playing with the door stop and the rest is history! Needless to say, we are afraid he will start climbing out of his crib and get hurt, so he will be in his big boy bed within the next week or so!

Cute

Great-Grandparents!!

My grandparents niece and nephew Arlene and Wayne came over to visit too!

Being silly of course!!

We had such a wonderful time last weekend! My Grandparents came in town from Philadelphia to meet their 2nd great-grandchild :) We were so happy to be able to give them a boy and a girl ;) We also had my Opa and Nana visit and Arlene and Wayne too! Arlene and Wayne actually live in Woodstock and we LOVE to visit with them! Jackson remembered GG and GG-Dad from this summer and it was so fun to watch him interact with them :) He often speaks of them. We already miss everyone and can't wait until our next visit with our family!

Bailey's 1 month check up

My mom came over today and got Bailey to smile :) This is the first one we have caught on camera!

Stats:

Weight: 9lbs 11oz (50th %ile)

Height: 21.75 inch (75th %ile)

Head Circumference: 37.5 cm (50th %ile)

I can't believe a month has already past! Bailey is so sweet! She has had a pretty good 1st month considering she had a cold for 2 weeks. The Dr. said she is finally over her cold :) Sadly Jackson now has some sort of virus and I have a runny nose...it's a never ending cycle I am afraid :) I think they measured her wrong at birth, b/c I watched them do it today and saw her mark it and have no idea how she could have grown 3 inches in one month,but who knows!?! She is a pretty good sleeper~well once you get her to go to sleep that is! It sometimes takes an hour for her to finally fall asleep at night. After that she only wakes up 2 or 3 times to eat in the middle of the night (on a few rare occasions she has woken up once!) During the day she eats every 2 or 3 hours. She seems to eat less than Jackson did, especially at night. She doesn't seem to cry too much, it's mostly when I am trying to eat or clean of course! Jackson still adores her and LOVES to talk about her and tell me that she has pooped or that she is sleeping. "Baiy-ye poopoo" "Baiy-ye seeping" and when he is touching her he always says "nice" in a sweet soft voice. We like to play the game, "Bailey's gonna get you!" and we hold her and act as if it is her chasing him :) Bailey has also started smiling this week, it is soooo cute! Janet and John came over on her 1 month birthday and those are what the pics are from!

Happy Anniversary

We are celebrating our 6th Wedding Anniversary today! This was one of the first times I went to John's house and Janet is so sweet and smart and took pictures of us that day. I can't believe we are now a family of 4 (well, 5 if you include Cooper!)! I can't wait for all the years to come!
