Jackson and Cousin Lia

Jackson and his cousin Lia (Lia is Andy - JPs Brother- and Beckys daughter). They look like they are holding hands. They are 11 weeks apart. They are starting to look a little bit like cousins. Jackson wore his winter hat tonight. His hat is from Ecuador. He is working on sitting up.

Jackson's almost ready for food!

Jackson was sitting in his bumbo seat the other day. He has a purple one because he barrowed one from his friend, Mackenzie. He needed something to hold onto and I gave him a bamboo spoon for his little hands. I want you all to know these spoons dont splinter. He looks like he is feeding himself! WE are going to start food when we come back from Thanksgiving. Yeah!

Sleepy baby and Sunglasses

This is a sleepy night. Jackson and I were all tuckered out and fell asleep on the couch together. Jackson also got a pair of sun glasses from his Aunty Joy. So he was trying them out. Doesnt he look cute!

Jackson and Noel

The pictures below are of Jackson visiting and meeting Noel in Sept when she was born. She and Jackson are 11 weeks apart. I think Noel is starting to make noise and talking now. How exciting. Sarah and My mom did diaper duty a few times with them. How exciting to have cousins so close together. Jackson is now 5 months old and Noel is 11 months old. Jackson and Noel have grown so much. We are excited about seeing them this weekend in Chicago. We are going for a weddding of our friends. I will post pictures of that.

Jackson and Noel

Well, things here are going well. Jackson gained 8 ozs this week and now weighs 13 lbs and 9 oz. He is gainig more each week. The pics are also of Joy, Dan and Noel. I think she looks like Joys baby pics. We are going to getee to see them next week at a wedding in Chicago. My parents, Sarah and Jon and Jodi are also coming. Jackson and I went ot Mommy & baby Yoga today. Jackson cried the last 15 min of he class. But it was fun to do some stretching with Jackson. JP has started calling Jackson a wide mouth bass at the moment. He loves to smile with his whole mouth. Its really cute!

Jackson is so smiley I wanted to show how he opens his whole mouth when he smiles. Nana bought him his 100% baby boy shirt and he now fills it out well.

Jackson is getting so big. He loves his play mat and enjoys Daddy reading to him. He is dressed in his pumpkin outfit with his cousin Lia in the background. She came over to help pass out candy.
