Here's an "eight month" picture, out of order of course!
Chillin on the couch with a bottle- he's not actually allowed to touch the remotes (he's a little drooly still), but I had to get this picture!
Serious concentration- I think he was looking at a handful of grass.
On the job site with Daddy!!! Derek has been building this garage for a couple weeks- it's right up the road, so Jackson and I can walk up to see him and document what's happening. I love watching what Derek can do!
Those are some more eight month pictures- he was a super grouch and refused to smile... Well, not so much grouchy, but I think he sees the camera and shuts the smile off!
And yeah, that went right into his mough before I could get up and grab it... He's all about the stuff into the mouth, no matter what it is. We pacify ourselves by telling each other that it's healthy protein...
I look like my Mom here!
My cousin Melissa gave us this backpack- HUGE hit- every time he's in it he laughs constantly... he loves the movement and the fact that he has full access to pull my hair!
I'm trying to get a bunch of "hat pics" in here for you, Uncle Doug!
Sometimes he's so big, but sometimes he's just so very, very small...
A couple garden pics...
LOVE these boots!
First time in the Perkins grandparents pool! He wasn't really into it, but I thin kif just the two of us can spend some time there, he'll relax and love it. He sure does love splashing and bath time!
If you may remember... we had these trees cut down a couple months ago- they're finally making their way out of the yard to Someplace Else. Which is great, because I wasn't a fan of the landscaping that came with 5 giant trees in my yard!!
I have been insanely busy- well, lets clarify, even more insanely busy than usual. I love my part time job at Rock Gardens Inn (google it- if anyone needs a place for a vacation, this is totally it!), and it is so nice to have some adult time, but I feel like I'm in a whirlwind most of the time!
Huh- just realized that although I brought my camera to the 4th of July festivities, apparently I neglected to use it. Oops. Well, Jackson had a great time at the parade, even though it was approximately a million degrees out., and also at Mom and Keith's annual anniversary/4th party. He's such a trooper (and again, I sound like Mom!) and put up with the heat and no naps amazingly well. We were very proud of him!
Well, it's 8:15- I think I may just go sit with my hubby and watch some lame tv... and go to bed very early! Hope all is well with everyone!
Those rain boots are so cute! How did he do with the life jacket? Alex really isn't a fan of life jackets.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and text. The text will come in handy years from now. I love those rain boots. I now have a number of new hats shots. We can say he is hat man two which is almost the capitol of Nepal(Katmandu). I think the only advise I can give is to do busy at a very leisurely pace. And when you have a Jackson, go no where without a camera. Now you have to go back and relive the first expereice. Oh, my! Glad you got the seeds.Next batch is drying.
