Jackson is 1

Jackson is now 1 year old! He has already had 3 birthday parties, and 1 still to come (can you tell our families like to celebrate?) We spent a week with my parents here in Colorado before our Young Life summer assignment began, and here are some photos from that:

The view from our house.

The flowers out here right now are GORGEOUS!

Mom, Jackson, and I hung out while the guys went fly fishing.

Jackson's favorite things...balls!

Mom and me before our massage.

Then we hung out in the hot tub outside...what a view!

Jackson playing the instrument.

So nice to share with Mommy.

Jackson was more interested in the balloons than opening his presents.

Bubble gun from Uncle Wes.

If only I was looking at the camera...

Mom and Dad went to Rocky Mtn. National Park.

Great family vacation!

11 Months Old

Jackson is 11 months old now and such a big boy! His latest stats are: 22.7 pounds (just above 50th%) and 29 inches long (just under 50%). He is so interested in exploring the world around him, and interacting with others too. His favorite things to do are to throw things and then go chase it and throw it again, and to open and close doors of all kinds. He is an expert crawler and he is all over the place! He loves animals and his first word besides "dada" and "mama" was "Daisy," the name of my parents dog. He also loves to see flags and balloons (making trips to Wal-mart very exciting for him...ha!) He claps whenever he is proud of himself or really happy and it's so cute! We go to Dollywood or Splash Country several times a week and he loves it. He is a really happy kid, and and absolute joy!
