Big man!

Our little boy is growing into his own little man. He is getting so big, he is now 37" inches tall and weighs around 30lbs. We go to the park after work a couple days a week for some bonding time and so he can unwind and stretch his little legs. He has been working a lot lately on his letters and numbers. He is repeating pretty much everything that is being said around him so really have to watch what I am saying around him. I have been working with him at nights to try and get him to use his little Elmo toilet. I think soon we will have some action and that will make Daddy really happy:0)

Every day it is something new and exciting! I love him the way he is right now and don't ever want him to grow up. He is my pride and joy and I Love him so much!

We spent this last weekend at G-Ma and G-Pa's house and he got to see most of his cousins and had a blast playing in the dirt pile at Auntie Carrie's house and playing in the pool. Let's just say that he was exhausted and can't wait to see his cousins again for playtime.

Sorry it has been along time since the last posting...just finding the time now to keep this updated as often as possible. Pics to come soon.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

We took Jackson to the Minnesota Zoo today; it's his second trip this summer. He just loves the monkeys, fish, dolphins and bears. We went and saw a bird show while there and he saw his very first Bald Eagle. Quite a big sight for such a little guy. We discovered the huge sandbox they have for the wee little ones and the water fountain that the Zoo has for the little ones to run around and cool off in. He LOVED that!

Labor Day Grilling with Mimi & Papa

Mimi & Papa hosted us for some turkey burger and corn on the cob (or mac & cheese if you were under the age of 2) this weekend. Jackson showed Mimi & Papa how well he plays the bones and Mimi taught Jackson how to properly manuver a grocery cart. This will come in handy once he turns 16 and Mama makes Jackson do all the grocery shopping (oh the joys of motherhood).

Jackson's State Fair Debut

We took Jackson to the Great Minnesota Get-Together this weekend. He got to see horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, etc. He even was able to touch one of the dairy cows. He was hesitant at first but then he went right up and pet him...and then ran for his life! ;-) He had a great time and was amazed to see all the animals that he's been learning about for so long.

Our latest discovery...

I can't say that I'm proud; but I knew it was going to happen soon. He found his nose and discovered what fun it can be to stick his finger up his recent find. He thinks it's hiliarous and I don't blame him. Every time he does it we laugh and make a joke out of it. One of these days that will have to end...

The Face That Keeps Me Going

Playing with Addie (just one of his many lady friends!)

They are quite the pair. Both are very outgoing and they compete for toys with the best of 'em. Dress code called for diapers only this day!

He LOVES Yogurt!

He's so silly! He loves peach yogurt and everytime I put it down in front of him he goes to town on it. The messier the eating session, the better the yogurt was (in his mind). We are quite friendly with the wipes because almost every meal needs a little yogurt in it!
