Yoga Baby

Jackson is getting ready to crawl and has been showing off how strong he is. He is sitting up on his own very well and in his attempts to crawl has been pushing himself all over the room..... backwards.... not exactly what he was wanting.

The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

WORST DAY EVER

I don't have any pictures for this one- sorry. The saying goes an apple a day keeps the doctor away, therefore we are going to buy at least 9,125 apples so that I never have to take a sick Jackson to the doctor's office ever again. Thursday we took J in after he had a temperature for 2 days. (He weighed in at 17 lbs 3 oz) His temperature at the doctor was 103.6- but the doctor couldn't see anything wrong with him, so he ordered a urine sample and blood draw to check things out. So poor Jackson had to endure 2 catheters to extract the pee they needed and 3 needle sticks to try to get the blood (which they ended up doing the heel stick anyways- and it 25 minutes to catch all the blood drop by drop). They ended up calling us to say one of the test they hadn't gotten enough blood for.... I told them we would have to do without it cause i wasn't taking him again. The whole thing took 4 and a half hours just to find nothing wrong with him. He's finally fever free and playing like normal today! Long story short, we will go in for well child visits to get our vaccine shots (which must feel like nothing compared to what he had to go though this week), but we are staying home next time we are sick.

5 Months

For FHE we had a 5 month photo shoot.

Craft Projects

I've been a little out of control- everytime I go to the store I find more projects to do. This week I've actually made some headway on them. Sorry to Melissa who will be seeing presents on here. You can pretend you are surprised.

CARROTS- Enough Said

Jackson enjoyed watching Robin Hood steal from the rich to give to the poor. That and he likes to play naked (no diaper rash for this baby)! I'm surprised how much he really understands- although I think he mostly likes all the colors moving. We have been watching in 5 to 10 minute installments because he gets distracted quickly.

In other news- I'm on a 3 day cycle.

Day ONE- I've been crafting up a storm(blankets, taggies, knitting squares, painting orchids for our bathroom, and working on our cookbook)

Day TWO- Cleaning my mess- dirty dishes, craft junk, endless laundry.

Day Three- DOING NOTHING- while feeling guilty and lazy about doing nothing.
Then it all starts again. I guess I can feel happy with the fact that 66% of the time I'm doing something.
