He had sooooo much fun playing with Megan and if notice what they are playing with, don't worry they were empty ;)

Grandma!!

Diddy played with him a whole bunch outside and Jackson loved it!!

We had many things to be thankful for this year. Mainly our health, our family/friends, and the love we share for each other. Hope you all had a great time with your family too!

Lots of visitors!

Hanging out with my favorite cousins in Auburn! Since we won't see them for Thanksgiving

Hanging out with with the Wilson Family!

giving Jessi some love!

he was so excited to show Liam how he can walk like him!

Ash and TomTom visited us in Dallas!! Such a wonderful surprise!

Walking

He has decided that walking is better than crawling! It took about a month after his first step to get to that point :) He walks all around the house now, it's so fun to watch! Here are a few other things he is doing...

~he is OBSESSED with John right now! He freaks out when he leaves or puts him down!

~he loves to show you where the fan is!

~he shakes his head "no" ALL the time :) At least most of the time he is just doing it for fun :)

~diced ham, yogurt, and raisins are his favorite foods right now

~he knows to hold a phone up to his ear, especially the toy one Amy gave him

~he uses my hair brushes and brushes his hair (he learned that by just watching me I guess, I didn't teach him that one ;)...it's really cute!

~he could spend the entire day outside, especially at the park

~he can't get enough of playing in the car with John, he lets him steer and play with all the buttons! (and don't worry grandparents...no keys in the ignition!)

~he has decided to wave bye, bye again (he has not done that in a while)

~he is doing great on Milk in his sippy cup, we went cold turkey on his birthday and he has done great ever since! It has been awesome not dealing with bottles or formula for the past month and a half!

Catching up!

walking at the playground :)

As you can see I had a little catching up to do! One of the hard drives on my computer was old and just died, so we had to wait until we got a new one to start uploading pics again! As you can see Jackson helped John fix it ;) A lot has been going on lately. Our new favorite thing to do is go to the park. The weather has been so great and we are trying to take full advantage of it! Jackson is walking more and more everyday. He definitely still crawls more than walks, but he is getting there! He got his first cold this week and is finally starting to get over it, I have had it as well! John and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary this past weekend and Nana and Opa stayed over to babysit Jackson. We felt terrible that he ending up starting his cold that day, but he was lucky he had such loving grandparents that took great care of him~thanks again!! Jackson is also starting to point to things and he uses his entire hand to do so...it's really cute!
