7 Months



You are so funny Mom!





Working the overalls. Yeah baby!




Love my little boy



Tom loves squeezing baby J. It's so cute.



The office chair...Should not be a toy. Oh well:)





Date night at Scheels!


Asleep in grandpas arms. 


Lunch date with the Mother at Costa Vida. Jackson did great.


Holding Shannon's new baby girl! Such a sweet little thing.




This kid would be happy chewing on my hair all day I think.

FAMILY REUNION






My cute niece likes to call him fuzzy duck..can you tell why?? 


What Mom?? I'm not doing anything bad!




Love those little feet:)


Yup. Why even buy toys? The controller works just fine!




Really Jackson? Blinds...kids' favorite things to play with.


Just having a meeting at the studio. Love working there! Kim is so good with babies:)


Just helping mommy with dishes. What a sweet boy.




This kid seriously loves my water bottle. Teaching him at a young age the importance of water. haha 


He is one talented kid! Loves holding things with his cute feet!








He sure loves his Daddy


Having a staring contest with his cousin Pratt. Jackson won. 

7 months. Wow Where did the time go?! This little boy is becoming mobile more and more everyday! He is getting super close to sitting up on his own for a longer period of time. He is also getting up on his arms and knees..boy are we in for it real soon! He is sleeping so good at night..I really can't complain. Evening can be hard at times..when he is so tired and we are exhausted from a long day, but it's totally worth it. The pediatrician said he looked great! He has eczema pretty bad. We are working on that. But overall he is doing so well! He doesn't love solids too much...we are working on that too. He will eventually get there though! I'm not too worried. I love this boy! Oh and it is so fun being able to make him laugh. I just love that part about being a mom. It is so rewarding watching your child smile at you, laugh, etc. Grateful for motherhood..as hard and challenging as it is. I wouldn't change it for anything.

Some things he is doing right now:
-sitting up..getting so close!
-rolling everywhere
-rocking on his arms and knees
-talking a lot
-holds thing between his feet all of the time
-shakes his head uncontrollably from side to side..hilarious
-makes a snake noise when he is excited about his toys
-still loves the bath
 -smacks his lips
-pouty face
-poops up his back

6 Months




 

So precious when he sleeps


He is SO happy!


Oh just staring down his beautiful girlfriend miss Ava!


Love at first sight:)


This is our life.


My little family!



ooooh yeah


My sweet sister left on her mission. She is so wonderful and I am so happy and proud of her! I can't wait until she gets back home. She is awesome. 



My cute little dancers! They did so good at their recital. I just love teaching and am so excited to be on this new adventure of becoming part-owner at the Performers Place!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY





Tommy is such a good daddy. He works so hard everyday to provide for our family then sweetly and graciously watches Jackson for me while I go teach without complaining. He is amazing. I am such a lucky girl to have a husband like him. I am never worried if Jackson and I will be taken care of. I love him so much. But like I said he is such a good Dad. He loves Jackson, plays with him, watches him, helps with diapers and baths. He also helps me around the house with dishes, sweeping, taking the trash out, etc. I just had to do a little shout out to the husband...Thank you Tommy for all that you do for us! We are so lucky!



HAPPY FOURTH!







Helping out with the BBQing. He's the MAN! 




1st time on the swing. Loved it. Kicking back!

Road trip to Gossner Foods with the Hubby. So fun!




Thai Village


Almost asleep...LOVE HIM!

I Can't believe it has already been more than half of a year! The time seriously flies. We just love Jackson so much. He is SUCH a good baby. He is so happy all of the time! He definitely has his moments and tests our patience, but we really are so grateful for him. He brings so much joy into our home. Here is some things he has been doing lately.
-He is rolling a lot more
-He has become so interested in toys and is constantly trying to reach for something
-He got his FIRST tooth! Happy day!
-He is starting to make sounds like bababa dadada.
-He squeals all of the time..cutest thing!
-I love when he giggles. So cute. Brightens my day.
-Thumper..This is one of his nicknames. He kicks his left leg all of the time whether he is standing, in his carseat, or in his stroller. It's hilarious.
-He is so active. When we sit and hold him he just can't stop moving. It's so fun:)
