Out for a boat ride.

Jackson fell asleep in his Daddy's lap the second we started moving on the boat. He slept the ENTIRE boat ride. He opened his eyes a tiny bit after we backed out of the boathouse and looked at us as if to say "quit taking pictures of me while I sleep".

New Tooth

Jackson’s other lower tooth is coming in!

GI Joe

Well, our little man is really getting around now. He’s not crawling yet, he’s scooting around with his tummy still on the ground- like he’s a soldier trying to stay low. And the boy can move FAST!!! Ms. Tara at daycare said she’ll be changing a diaper and when she gets done she’ll turn around and can’t find Jackson! She said that he gets behind the rocker, under the cribs, under his crib behind his carseat- everywhere! Yesterday when I picked him up Ms. Kay said that he was scooting all over and would come to a “speed bump” (toys that he’s left on the floor) and would scoot half way over them and get stuck. He’d start making a sort of growling noise at them until someone came to move the “speed bump” and then he’d be on his merry way again. Then he’d scoot along until he would get himself wedged under something- like the floor bouncer holding the new 6 week old baby- and then he’d scream real loud until someone got him out. They said he’s just too funny! At home he scoots around and goes straight for the wood things and metal things- it’s like he knows what he shouldn’t be going towards and goes straight for it. So, needless to say, he has to be watched CONSTANTLY. The dogs seem to be a little confused that he can follow them now when they move away. J

Jackson’s also got some of the older girls in the palm of his hands!

One of the teachers in one of the toddler rooms absolutely LOVES Jackson and comes to see him all of the time and yesterday the Director of the Center told me that she has been spending her lunch breaks with Jackson- just sitting in the floor playing with him and holding him. The Director said that she says “I just love him!” Boy does that make a mommy feel good!!

Giving himself kisses

This is so funny- the first pic is of Jackson looking at himself in the
mirror. The second is of him kissing himself. He did that several
times the other day. It was SOOO funny!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day at the farm in Jemison

Here's some pictures from our Mother's Day outing on Sara and Jerry's

Farm in Jemison. We fished for catfish and ate what we caught. Jackson
played. Mimi and Papa carried a pool out to the pond for him to keep
him cooled off and even brought water, but the water was too cold for
Jackson. He didn't like his toes to touch it at all. He played in it
with his hands for a little bit but then spent a lot of time playing in the shade.

First Tooth

Jackson has a tooth!!! On Saturday night, 05/05/07 (his Daddy’s birthday), I was rubbing Orajel on Jackson’s gums before I put him to bed and felt a little tooth!!!! He wouldn’t let me see it, though, and wouldn’t let me put my finger in his mouth after I got all excited over the tooth- he kept his lips pursed together tight! The next day we were at Blanche and George’s house and I had just told Blanche about the night before. She got Jackson to open his mouth and she said “I see a tooth!” There it was, on his lower gum- looking at him it’s on the left- a little white part of a tooth sticking up out of his gum. It’s so cute!!! It looks like you may can see where one is coming through right next to it too. It feels sharp- but maybe that’s just because I’m not used to feeling new teeth come in. I bet it feels really weird to Jackson. J I guess this explains why he was fussier than normal last week and pulling on his ears a lot.
