Jackson's first Halloween!

Jackson had such a fun first Halloween! Nana and Jackson carved their first pumpkin together. Jackson wasn't quite sure what to think of this round orange pumpkin but I think he liked it.

Nana, Jackson and I met Kim and Tanner at the Pumpkin Patch. The boys rode ponys, played in the hay, and took a ride on a "tractor trailer". They had a blast and mommy took LOTS of pictures!

I took Jackson out trick or treating on Halloween night. He was the cutest little monkey I've ever seen!! We met up with some friends and walked around the neighborhood. It was a great time and a Halloween I will never forget.

Tulsa Zoo

Jackson went to the Tulsa Zoo today with me, Kim, and Tanner. He had a great time!! He especially liked the petting zoo, the monkeys, the train, and the carasoul. After a full day at the zoo, both boys were pooped!

9 Months!

Time is just flying by! Jackson turned nine months old on September 26th. He has learned so many new things in the past few months ~ waving bye-bye, clapping, and even climbing stairs! We can only imagine what joy the next nine months will bring!!

At his nine month appointment, he weighed 22 lbs (74%) and was 29.5 inches long (90%). He didn't have to have any scheduled immunizations this time, but he did have a flu shot ~ which he was not too happy about.

We love Jackson so much and are having so much fun watching him grow and discover new things!

Goodbye Ear Infections!

Today was a long day for little Jackson. After battling several recurring ear infections, we decided to get tubes placed in Jackson's ears. The surgical procedure for placing tubes in the ears is very common...but we still worried (of course)! Jackson was so brave and he did great! He was a little bit scared when he woke up, but once we arrived home he was happy again! I'm so proud of him!!

Poor Bella!

6 Months Old!

We cannot believe that our little baby boy is already 6 months old! At his checkup, he was 27.5 inches long (90%) and 18lbs 10 ounces (74%). He had another round of shots, which he did not like very much. He is also battling a constant ear infection...we are hoping this new antibiotic will do the trick.

We were able to spend a week in Texas in late June. We had so much fun visiting friends and family and Jackson had a blast! He is getting very very close to crawling.....yikes!

Happy Birthday Bella!

Today is Bella's 9th birthday. By looking at her, you would still think she was just a puppy. She has been my baby for 9 years and is just the best dog we could ever ask for! Happy Birthday Bella!

5 Months Old!

Jackson turned 5 months old on May 26th. He is getting so big and he is learning to do new things every day! What a joy he is!!!
