One year old, but still my little boy



Jackson turned 1 the end of April! We had a really fun cowboy birthday party for him and lots of the family was able to come. It's unbelievable to me that he is a one-year-old. He still just seems like my tiny baby. I wish he could stay in this stage forever! I love how cuddly and soft he is. I love how cute he looks when he crawls around and points his fat finger at things. He is such a sweet little boy and I am so glad that he is a part of our family. He and Peter are the best of friends, and I hope it stays that way year after year.

New Tricks


Jackson is crawling! He started two Sundays ago on January 24th. He loves being mobile! I wasn't really looking forward to having two mobile children, but it has actually been easier because Jackson can get to what he wants instead of crying at me to carry him around. I love how he'll crawl up to something and pick it up, then roll over onto his back to look at/slobber on it. Oh - I almost forgot to mention the Tongue! Jackson discovered how cool his tongue is and now it's almost always poking out of his little mouth. I think it's the cutest thing EVER. I have pictures of myself doing that when I was a baby too - so it must be genetic.

(When Sean sticks his tongue out like that, he and Jackson pretty much look like twins)

Peter also has a new trick! (Video coming soon) He learned to sing "I am a Child of God" and "Twinkle, twinkle, little star". Pretty soon he'll be cutting record deals, making billions on Broadway, and doing special appearances on American Idol.

Jackson photo shoot






I'm so glad that Sean got me a camera so I can better capture all these precious baby years. The days turn into months all to quickly. Jackson just turned 8 months! Today I watched some videos we took of him when he was just a few minutes old and it's incredible to see how quickly he grew! He is so adorable and fat and kissable and squishable and happy. I love love love being his mommy. What a blessing to have him in our family!

6 mo. old baby Jackson



I wake up each morning to the sound of happy cooing. When I go to get Jackson out of bed, he sees me and his little baby mouth turns into a BIG smile. Then I unwrap his blankets and his fat little arms pop up while he scrunches and stretches his chubby body. He looks at me and starts smiling and wiggling all over the place. He's like a little soft puppy, all drooly and excited to see me - he just needs a tail. He's the happiest baby I've ever seen! Guaranteed he'll give you a big smile if you so much as look at him, and he loves to snuggle. There's nothing like a good Jackson smile and cuddle to boost my mommy confidence!

His latest accomplishments include: sitting up for a minute at a time, being able to push himself up straight onto his arms, turning over, and he's really good at grabbing things accurately and sticking them in his mouth. He can almost hold his own bottle, and he's really interested in eating real food. When he sees us eating, he gets this look of concentration and grabs tight onto the food and tries with all his might to eat it. He's a determined little guy!

Jackson has an amazing amount of tolerance too. Which is good because he needs it with Peter as a big brother! Peter loves to play and make Jackson laugh. And it is SO cute to see them giggling at each other! Jackson adores Peter.

I love having little baby Jackson to cuddle and smile with. He is such a sweet baby and I am such a lucky mommy. I wish these days could last forever. They grow up way too fast.
