Playing Catch-Up

It's been a very busy week and mommy has been remiss in posting new pics on the blog... so we'll get right to it with a few from the past week!

Jackson is getting very good at sitting up like a big boy now!

Happy baby still loves the jumperoo - jumping is his favorite!

A good... but messy... little eater =)

Jackson's main daycare teacher, Becca. He loves to give her big smiles!

Movie Monday

I'm starting to really like Movie Mondays... it's so fun to try and decide what little clip(s) to throw out there for everyone to see. Since we all had such a fun time this past weekend up at Mama and Papa's house for Maddy's 2nd birthday, I thought we'd continue the celebration today with a great clip of Maddy dancing - on Mama's counter, of course!

And since I can't leave my baby boy out of the blog, here's one of Jackson from a few minutes ago... Don't you wish you had THIS MUCH energy when you woke up on Monday morning?! I know I do!

Dedication Pays Off

When you spend a lot of time working at something, that dedication is often rewarded with success... so if you spend a fair portion of your day (and night, occasionally) working on sticking your fingers in your mouth, eventually you'll be rewarded. And I have proof caught on camera - check out Jackson below, he finally got that darn thumb in his mouth again! =)

He's really starting to enjoy the jumperoo more, too... thank goodness, give Mommy and Daddy a break every now and then.

Testing Out the Jumperoo

Jackson loves to bounce and jump when he's being held, so now that he has improved so much with his head control, we've started to let the little man hang out in the jumperoo. No, he's not really tall enough to get it really "jumpin" yet, but he does get it moving a little bit and he loves to watch anything with flashing lights. We're still in the early stages, though. Sometimes he's super happy baby in it like this...

And sometimes he's just really not diggin it like this...

We're sure though that once his little legs are long enough to actually reach the floor and give a good bounce, he'll like it a lot more. Until then, we'll keep at it as we work the jumperoo into our toy selection!
