Visiting Family

The sisters

Hello Mr. Moose

Relaxing after another fabulous dinner by chef LeRoy.

Jackson and his GG. Such a great visit.

I love this photo - Jackson and his GG

Center of attention!

Kisses from "Grantie" (great aunt) Brenda!

Talking to Grandad and GG.

Performing for the family - everyone was around the bed watching Jackson's every move. He didn't disappoint ;-)

Stretching out on GG's (great grandmother's) bed after a long flight.

Bath time!

I just adore these photos. Jackson is such a chub-a-lub. He really enjoys bathtime.

Visiting with Grandma

First Airplane Trip

Last weekend we headed to see Robert's family. We were a little nervous about how J would do travelling. I'm happy to report he was an angel - these photos accurately depict the entire trip. He slept the whole way! Yay! On the way home, he only cried after we had landed and sat at the gate for awhile waiting for the crew to let us off. I didn't blame him at all. The whole trip was wonderful.

Daddy Joins in on "Baby Wearing"!

Sometimes nightime is fussy time and the only thing that helps is a neighborhood walk. It puts him right to sleep. I usually wear the Bjorn, but last week Robert decided to check it out. It was good Daddy/Baby bonding. Jackson fell right to sleep. Now that we are in full-fledged summer, our evening strolls involve the stroller and a large mosquito net to protect J. I love the Bjorn for grocery shopping, though.

A Day in the Life

Just some random pictures I took while Jackson and I were hanging out. He adores his floor gym and is getting pretty good at hitting the animals and toys hanging above him. Occasionally he even manages to grab hold of one, but I am not sure that's intentional.

First Pool Party!

While on maternity leave, I have discovered a whole different world - one where people throw parties at 10 am on a Wednesday!!! Who knew??? Jackson and I were invited to a pool party at his friend Maggie's. Maggie is 10 months old and the other babies at the party were a year old, so Jackson was definitely out of his league. They were all splashing around in the shallow end. The pool was great - it had a large section that was 8 inches deep. I was really excited to see his reaction to the pool. He LOVES his bath after all. So, I suited him up in his SPF 50 swimsuit and sun hat (thanks, Mimi!) and headed out. Alas, it was a rare cool morning and when I put his toes in the water he howled. So, we stayed in the shaded and he napped for most of the party. Oh well, it was fun to get out. We'll try the pool again soon.
