Weekends are the Best

I love every weekend that I get to spend with my little man. I try to do as many things as we can together before Monday but it always go by too fast. I have started to give Jackson solid food as well as baby food. I have given him crackers and graham crackers so this morning I made him a pancake. I give him big pieces so gum on and when they start to fall apart I take them away. He has done great with the graham crackers and the pancake didn't last too long. He found out it was soft and and just ripped it apart. At least I got pancakes out of the deal. 

 This is rare that he has a paci but he was sucking on it and then taking it out and showing it to me. It was too cute!

 This was a sleeper that Aunt Taylor got for Sawyer. It is a 9 month sleeper and Jackson can finally fit into it so I decided to do photo op. Jackson loves his bumbo and it usually comes with lots of toys so he will give me good smiles when he sits in it.

 Little Frankenstein!

This weekend was beautiful so we all got out for a few walks. Well Willie rides in the bottom of the stroller but both of my boys loved it. The sun was great and made me look forward to leaving to go to Florida on Tuesday.

 I love these sunglasses. Jackson loves his Sophie teether (the second one we have had) this is a staple that has to be in the car seat at all times.

Cousin Fun

My parents put an addition onto their house and it was moving day! We knew Clayton would be able to help, but we knew we would have our hands full with the littles. Clayton picked out a movie and Mom got things to keep Sawyer busy. All Jackson needs is a jump-a-roo and he is set! 

We were busy all day taking turns keeping tabs on the little ones, feeding, changes, and playing with them but overall it was a fun day. The boys are so much fun to watch and I can't wait for Jackson to be able to play with both Sawyer and Clayton.

All the boys

I am Getting so Big!

Jackson is still a little munckin but he is sure happy. All of a sudden he is becoming more independent. He can sit up all by himself and likes to reach for toys. He now knows how to sit up and then go back to his belly or back. He is really happy and likes to smile at the camera. This morning we put on an outfit from Sawyer and I gave him a mohawk so we could send it to our cousins. Got to love this little Under Armour top, and he is wearing black fleece sweatpants (my personal favorite).

 I was standing in the kitchen when we got his hands on this little peek-a-boo bear and turned it on. I couldn't believe that he was able to reach it and was able to turn it on. This little bear is adorable and Jackson loves to giggle and play with it. Watching this was the first time I realized he doesn't need for everything he does anymore. Tear....

Jackson and Willie

These two love each other. Notice Willie is laying in the boppy pillow and Jackson is laying next to him. Jackson likes to pet Willie (pull his ear hair) and talk to him. They are really good buddies and I can't wait for Jackson to be able to play fetch with him!

I Got a Tooth!

Jackson cut his first tooth on January 18th. We were at Sherman's in Bloomington picking out a new mattress and I was letting Jackson suck on my knuckles to keep him entertained and what I got in return was a little bite. I couldn't believe when I looked in his mouth to see a little tooth. His tooth is on the bottom on the right side. He has done so good with it and hasn't been fussy or sick from it. 

 He loves to watch me make dinner and sits in his highchair just as happy as clam!

I sat down and ate dinner with him. I let him suck on this green bean and he didn't really care for it but he let me take a funy

5 Months Old

Our little monkey man is 5 months old. Tonight we were playing on the floor and he rolled over. Fluke... maybe but he was pretty proud of himself. He loves his jumparoo, Sophie his giraffe, eating squash, and playing with mommy and daddy. He can hold his head up like a champ and is so close to crawling and sitting up. I think at 6 months we might be able to say he can do both. 

 Love to take selfies with my crazy mom!!

 Look at him in action

 This is what she does to me! ha ha ha

 Baby showers are rough, this was after he spit up all over me, then he fell asleep.

 I am so flexible, I love my feet!

 Waiting for her to feed me. I love my little high chair toy. So fun! Thanks Clayton!

KU Game vs. Texas Tech

Matt got me tickets for Christmas to a KU basketball game. So we packed Jackson up and asked my brother and his girlfriend to head to Kansas for the weekend. This was Jackson's third trip to Kansas and it was so much fun. We had friends keep him while we were at the game and had so much fun in Lawrence. I think this was my first time back since 2008 and I hope we can make this a tradition! We were able to go to my favorite restaurants and got to drive by so many places that just brought back memories. I missed this place so much!

 All I have to say is that Jefferson's didn't disappoint. Burger, beer, and fried pickles....

 So cool, we got to the game with plenty of time to take it all in.

 Warming up.

 Me and Matt, it was his first game and now I think he understands why I am so crazy about Kansas Basketball. We didn't get a group picture of the four of us, so I guess we will have to go to another game.
