My Bucket List

Here are some things that I truly want to experience in life:
(I will add to it as I think of things worthy of the my list)

1. Either witness or participate in a flash mob
2. Attend a loved ones birth
3. Attend a U2 concert

Happy!

Tonight Lincoln added the word happy to his vocabulary, after hearing Stephen say it while watching the rider game. This is what we experience for a solid 20 minutes after the new found word was discovered:

7 Months and Incredible

My sweet Jackson.
He is pure happiness!
Jackson is seven months old and I can't believe it. He has his 2 bottom teeth and is looking little more different than Lincoln every day. I can't wait to see what he looks like as he continues to grow!
Jackson loves his dad. Whenever Stephen comes home Jackson gives him a huge smile. Every single time, its really amazing. He really knows who stephen is and really likes him! We don't remember Lincoln ever being so consistently excited to see Stephen, its really special!
Jackson always has his feet moving, whether he is sitting in his bumbo, sitting on the floor cuddling with me in bed, he is constantly doing ankle circles. A little dancer>?!?!
Jackson is still a very social kid. Loves people, loves action!
He also is a social eater, which I'm not sure how I feel about! He loves to be eating when everyone else is eating.
So far he has had banana, apple, pablum, sweet potato, carrot, peas, sweet potato & brocoli, peaches, icecream, mango sorbet, and mum-mums. Oh and frnech fries, as we just found Lincoln feeding Jackson french fries while we watched the Rider game and I worked on this blog. Jack was very happy.
He also really enjoys drinking water out of a cup, especially while eating.
Unfortunately Jackson has been constipated for the last week or so. Its hard watching your little scream while they try to have a movement...we have been trying to feed him foods that are high in fiber to help him through this tough time!
Jacksons favorite thing of all may be his bath time. He loves to sit in the tub with his big brother grabbing at any toy that may float his way. And he can kick up a mad storm when he lays on his back, he absolutely loves it.
He is super content, and just likes to sit on the floor, playing with his toys. He is starting to push himself up when he is on his stomach but I think crawling is still a month away.
So that is my baby at 7 months old!

Halloween 2010

Another successful year of sugar highs followed closely by sugar crashes. The boys went this year as a shark:


and a turtle:

Stephen took Lincoln out for a while. He would not say "Trick or Treat" but would say "thanks" or "bye" at each house. We then took the boys to my grandmother's house so she and grandpa could see their great grandboys all dressed up:

And then out to the farm to see Stephen's family. At which point the sugar was wearing off, and the boys were very tired! Getting a photo of them together proved to be pretty much impossible:


But it was great seeing Lincoln think he was actually a shark, as he chased me around the house! And Jackson, for whatever reason, got a HUGE kick out of having his costume on! It will only get more fun every year!
