My Big Boy is 7 months old

As of last Thursday Jackson was 7 months old. As I have said almost every month Jackson is truly a joy to us and he brightens our everyday. He is learning so many new things and is constantly looking around and taking it all in. He has his own personality now. He has found a new love for being outside and I am so glad. I take him outside as soon anytime the weather is warm enough.

Jackson's 1st Valentines Day

Jackson had a wonderful 1st Valentines Day. On Friday before V-day we went over to MeMaw's so that Jackson and Trip could exchange gifts. Jackson got Trip some candy and Trip gave Jackson a cell phone. The two of them really enjoy playing together and Jackson loves to watch everything Trip does. They will both be so happy when Jackson can walk and they can play more together.

On February 14th Jackson got his gifts from Mom and Dad. He got a few books and some lolly pops. (Do not start lecturing me on lolly pop safety I already know the risk) but Jackson licks on it for a bit then we just throw it away. Mostly he just puts it on his lips and smacks on the sweetness. But his favorite gift was his book that you can put a picture of him in and being the vain little boy he is he loves to look at himself.

Jackson and his "pet"

Ok so I will have to give you some background on this story. I am not a cat person I much rather dogs.. but (yes there is a but on this on) while I was pregnant we found out a cat had given birth to her litter of kittens under our house. I was dead set that we would get rid of them and send them to Papa's farm. I waited till the kittens were about 12 weeks old and I caught the Mommy cat and one of the kittens and they now live happily at the farm. However this one kitten watched me catch the Mommy and her sister and she was not going anywhere near that cage. So I could not help feeding her and she has now in a way became a pet. She is totally an outside cat but she does not like to get around people however Jackson loves to watch her play outside. And she loves to watch Jackson inside. So one day while it is pretty I let Jackson sit out on the deck and of course the kitten who will not go near anyone come right up to him. She almost got too close and Jackson almost got a hand full of her hair. So of course I took some pictures. Oh yea and in case you wondered the kitten's name is Kitty. And yes I did think long and hard about that name.

Jackson's 1st Valentine's Day Card

Here is the Valentine's Day Card that we sent out to Jackson's friends and family. I try to send out things seasonally so that I can remind everyone we love them and are happy to have them a part of our lives.

Playing in the yard

A little over a week ago we all had a chance to go play out in the yard on a very pretty day outside. Jackson had never had the opportunity to feel grass or leaves and he figured out he liked both of them. He kept picking up the grass and just dropping it on him and he wanted to eat the leaves. However he did not like it when he got grass between his toes. Here are a few picts we took. You will notice he has two different shirts on and this is because the 1st one was so soaked in drool that he needed to change.

Jackson Waves Bye-Bye!

Jackson has learned to wave Bye-Bye that is when he is in the mood. He started only waving when I waved at him now he will usually wave when you say bye-bye. He also now loves to clap. Now clapping is much more random he claps just to see himself clap and will not do it when I try to get him to. So thus we have video of waving but none of clapping...

He has also taken up falling asleep in his swing. He has always been a swing boy but now he wants to sit up so he will get so tired while he sits up that when I look over he has fallen asleep. Of course before I move him I take pictures. And might I add his swings batteries get a workout swinging him -- it does not seem to go as fast as it once did.
