Sophie the Giraffe

Thanks to Kat for all her hard work finding the perfect gift for Jackson. He loves trying to eat Sophie. (hold her, squeeze her, drool on her, chew her, stare at her, etc)

Jacksons Friends

Dr. J has many wonderful friends. First Jackson had a wonderful time when my family was in town. He enjoyed all the love and attention from his cousin Jackson.

















Jackson also has friends from churcj and the nieghborhood. Here Hadley, David and Jackson play while the grown ups chat.




Of course Dad is J's very favorite friend- and favorite sleep buddy (although here I had to put my shirt on Ralph so Jackson wouldn't cry because I wasn't there)

Holding Your Heart In Your Hands

I love holding Mister J- He has decided to take advantage of this though. We had Jackson sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night, but the last 2 weeks he has gotten up every 2 to 3 hours unless he is being snuggled with. What a little stinker. He is getting a little better and we hope this phase passes before long (Strangely at the same time- i don't want it to end, because I'm afraid he won't be snuggly at all).

Wonderful Wild Weekend

Poor Jackson had to deal with alot alot of driving this weekend. First Jackson and I drove up to Canton on Thursday to meet up with my mom, sisters and niece for Canton's First Monday of the Month Trade Days. It was super hot but we all found little treasures to take home on Friday and had a wonderful time.

Then Saturday we got back in the car to drive to Austin. Ralph and I took a crazy detour but finally made our way to Henry and Allison's apartment. We had a barbecue with John, William, Lara, Mary and April. We all went to the pool for a few hours. April was so cute splashing around and the boys enjoyed a small game of water volleyball. We played Bananagrams for a few hours and watched The Little Mermaid waiting for our reservation time at Maggiano's. We ate family style at Maggiano's for William and John's birthdays. There was so much food. 2 appetisers, 2 salads, 4 main dishes and 2 desserts (and if you run out of anything, they will bring more). We all went home stuffed but happy. Ralph and I drove home on Sunday morning with just enough time to get to church on time.
