Playtime!

Jackson loves to play with his Bouncing Tigger. He loves to bite his nose and watch him bounce.


Jackson checkin' himself out in his mirror. I would too if I were that cute. He's such a big boy sitting up by himself.

Playing with Mama. What a strong boy!

Just the boys. Jackson loves spending time with Daddy.

Yummy, Yummy, In My Tummy!

Jackson is such a great eater! So far, he's loved everything he's tried, except the first time he tried bananas. He made a face like he had just eaten something very sour, and made a gagging sound every so often. I think it was just because it was the first sweet food he'd ever eaten. He's been fine since then, though, and now loves bananas just as much as veggies.

Jackson eating peas, YUMMY!

U of L's Littlest Fan!

GO CARDS!!!
Jackson is a big U of L fan! Doesn't he look so adorable in his jersey? Even if you're a UK fan, you've got to agree that he looks pretty darn cute. Jackson loves cheering on the Cards, and hopes they make it to a bowl game this year (he really wants to go).

Jumping Jackson

Jackson LOVES jumping in his Johnny Jump Up, though Daddy calls it his "Jackson Jump Up"! I think he would jump all day if we let him. He especially likes to jump to music. They have something similar to this in the nursery at church, called a Jumperoo (though it's more stationary), which he also loves to jump in. In fact, he keeps all the other babies entertained.




Jackson loves to jump so much, that he jumps himself right to sleep. How cute!

Cherokee Park

Over the long Labor Day weekend, we went Cherokee Park. We had a lot of fun walking the trails and enjoying nature.

Jackson was a little out of it, since he had just woken up from a nap.


As you can tell, Jackson could care less that his picture is being taken.

Selena & Bekah

Jackson's friends, Selena & Bekah, came over last weekend to play. They had a great time hanging out and playing. I'm sure they'll have even more fun once Jackson gets a little bit bigger and can play more.

Jackson with Bekah & Selena. What a ladies' man!

Starting Solids

Jackson started on solids two weeks ago. First he started with rice cereal, which he thought was alright. This past week, we gave him sweet potatoes, which he absolutely loves! He can't get enough of them. He will be trying squash this evening for the first time, and carrots later in the week. He is such a great eater! Look Great-Grandpa, Jackson has a "soldier's bowl"!

4 Months!

I can't believe Jackson is already 4 months old! He has changed so much, and keeps us entertained by showing off his talents daily. At his 4 month checkup, he weighed 15 lbs. 12 oz. (60th percentile), and was 25 1/2 inches long (75th percentile). He also has three teeth that are trying to come in.
Jackson loves to help Mama with the laundry.

Watch out, here comes Jackson!

Jackson sits up with assistance, and plays with Daddy.

Jackson sitting in his rocking chair. What a handsome little man! By the way, his onesie reads, "If I don't sleep. . . .nobody sleeps!" Isn't that the truth! We really can't complain though, he's usually a really good sleeper. He's been sleeping through the night since he was about 2 months old.

His Shirt Says it All

Though Jackson loves to "talk", it isn't always so easy to understand what he's trying to say. In order to help others understand him a little better, he wears some of his favorite shirts to get his point across.
Jackson wants everyone to know just how much he loves his Daddy. They love to hang out and play together.

He really doesn't mean to brag, but who can blame the girls? His Mama certainly "digs" him.

He Can Sleep Anywhere

When Jackson's tired, he's tired. He falls asleep on the couch. . . . . .


on Daddy's knee, sucking Daddy's thumb. . . . .


and even in the pool. Yes, he's really asleep. We couldn't believe it at first either. What a silly little boy.
