9 months

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Here are some pics of Jackson playing in his room. He is doing so well. Still crawling around everywhere. We're still learning how to walk. He moves from furniture to furniture so he's getting more brave!

He is saying Momma and Dadda and even imitates Casey snorting! He comes up with new noises everyday. He is playing great with the other babies. We are still learning how to share though! He's not so good at that! He does have the "Samuel" competitiveness though! When one of the other babies are crawling in front of him he thinks it is a race and starts crawling really fast to beat them! It is too funny. He does this on numerous occassions!

He is outgrowing his infant car seat so a convertible car seat is our next big purchase. His feet hit the back of the seat so it's time for an upgrade! Those things are not cheap!

Well hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy the pictures!

Jackson bungee jumping

I know it had to come sooner or later but Jackson had his first big "fall" on Friday morning. He fell out of his highchair and hit his little head. The table must not have been clicked properly (my fault) and he pushed it out and fell on the floor. I was so terrified. He started screaming and I picked him up off the floor. His forehead, between the eyes and nose were really red. Since he hit his head I took him in to see his pediatrician. She checked him over and reassured me he was fine and that this would not be the the last hard fall he would ever take. I felt so guilty! I cried all the way to the doctor! :-(

She said the most that would happen was he would have a headache or some bruising on his face and maybe even black eyes! Thankfully he didn't get any of that. He was back to playing the same day and this morning he had no more redness or even a bump on his head. He must have a head made of steel! Poor little guy. It was such a scary site.

Anyway, thought I would let everyone know.

More pics at the beach!

Holden Beach, NC

Well we had an amazing time at the beach this past week. Other than Jackson catching a cold and us not getting any sleep we had a blast! The weather was perfect with not one rainy day! Jackson was a little hesitant about the water but by the end of the week he was playing in the sand and running in the water! The beginning of the week was tough. Jackson was a mess with his cold, separation anxiety kicked in full gear with lots of new faces and then a change in his schedule. He was a trooper though still out in the sand! He warmed up to everyone towards the end as well. Hopefully next time we see them all he will remember them! Here are some pictures of our week!

First cold

Well, Jackson finally got his first cold at 8 months. We went to the beach this past week and he caught one. I tried sanitizing his toys but it still found him! :-( It was a long week at the beach with his cold but he still had a great time! We were up all hours of the night with a runny nose but no fever. Thank goodness! Amazing how it happend on our vacation.
