Jackson Jump Up

Sunday afternoon we tried out a new toy at Grandma's house.  Jackson's expressions crack me up here.  Watch the progression from..."I'm not so sure" to "Where has this fun toy been all my life?!?"

"You are going to do what Grandma?"

"Seriously..what is this thing?"

"Let me think about this for a minute please."

"Whee!!!!"

Time for a Change

I figured I needed to start updating my blog.  Just realized maybe it shouldn't be all pink anymore since we have a girl and a boy now.  I thought this color arrangement was fair - some blue, some purple.  I also finally added Jackson in the top photo!

Seriously?!?

I can't believe I just dropped Elli off at preschool.  Even though I have been waiting for this day, it was very bittersweet.  I could hardly calm my nerves last night, just thinking about all of the "firsts" that are coming our way now that Elli is growing up.  Here is Elli on her first day of preschool  (outfits compliments of Grandma Waller's dressmaking!)

I just realized I put the wrong date on there...oh well!  In ten years, the  4th or the 5th really won't matter!
I do realize it says "Cinderbrella" but that is how she says it and I don't want to forget that!

That's the big smile I love!

We're Going to the Zoo!

Think she was excited?!?!

A Sneak Peak

This is what it was like coming back from Maryland....it can only get better!

Actually this was a fairly mild moment.

Jackson's Four Month Appointment

Jackson's four month appointment went well.  He is a little over 15 pounds and about 25 inches long now.  That puts him in the 40th percentile for height and weight.  He is definitely smaller than Elli was at 4 months; she was in the 97th percentile at this age.  The pediatrician said he was looking good though and not to worry.  She did say we could start solids, but I'm going to wait a bit.  She said everything looked great and she was impressed with his strength.  We do have to call ECU and make a follow up appointment to check his heart murmur from birth.  We have to have that appointment when he turns 6 months old.  All in all, we are very blessed with a happy, healthy four month old.  She did note that he showed signs of teething (drooling and constant chewing on his hand).  He has had random low grade fevers lately so that makes sense.  We're keeping our eyes out for a tooth!

That's My Man

Is there anything better than this?  A man willing to...
1.  vacuum
2.  wear a crown and a necklace while vacuuming
3.  spend time with his baby girl
4.  let me take pictures of it

Love him!
