Mowing the yard

Jackson loves the lawnmower! He stood just like this and watched Adam mow the entire backyard.

Global Wildlife

We took Jackson to the Global Wildlife Center today. We met MaMaw down there. Jackson loved it, especially the giraffes. He would hold his food in the cup and when the animals came up to eat he would point and say NO! He kept calling the food rocks. We had so much fun!

New haircut!

Jackson got a big boy haircut yesterday. He looks so much older now. He was just to cute this morning before school. He got his bag and was standing by the door waiting to go. We also hit a major milestone...NO CRYING when I dropped him off. I couldn't believe it. He kissed me and said bye-bye! Yeah!!

Jackson's new shoes

We got these new slippers yesterday. Jackson picked them out at the store. When I put them on his feet he yelled WOW! It was priceless. We got some PJs to match.

I just can't seem to keep up. Jackson began his first day of playschool August 10th. We have had a rough start. He just doesn't like to be dropped off. His teacher says that he plays well during the day and is beginning to adjust to his new schedule. He is really missing his Nanny and PawPaw though! It seems that in just 3 weeks he is already becoming so much more independent. His is saying lots of new words and his favorite toy is his block set. He loves building towers tall as he is.

Beach Trip

We have had so much fun on vacation. Jackson had to warm up to the sand, but by the second day he loved it. He loves to go out in the water and jump the waves with us. He has been so good the entire time. We took him to the track to ride a few rides. He definately did not like the swing. He learned how to work the elevator almost immediately. I just can't believe how fast he is growing up. Here are a few pictures of our vacation.

Way behind

Boy am I behind... Jackson is keeping us so busy. He started walking at 141/2 months. He is talking up a storm. He is so independent. He loves all sports and a ball of any kind. He also loves to play outside. He can point out just about anything you ask him in a book. We actually had to go to the bookstore this past weekend and get NEW books. We were sick to death of the old ones. His favorites are the Sesame Street books. I can not believe he is about to be 16 months old. Well here are a few pics for you to see how big he has gotten.
