Mommy and Daddy take a trip!

Matthew and Jennifer are gone on a much needed vacation to Jamaica for a week.  We are so lucky that we got to take care of Jackson. He has been so much fun and quite the entertainer. He has gotten so verbal and babbles constantly. He can almost sit up by himself and LOVES to stand. Here are a few pictures. They really capture what a happy boy he is.

I am going to Nashville on Wednesday to see Jacob (and of course Leah and Kirk). 10 days after I get home they are going to drop Jacob off at our house while they go to Cabo. Can't wait!

Jackson at 9 months

Jackson is  doing so many new things that I wanted to share them. Here are a few of his most recent accomplishments;

• He loves to stand. You can put him up next to the ottoman and he can hold on and stand by himself. He seems to be very proud of himself. He also makes his legs "stiff" to avoid being put back to a sit.
• Jackson is very close to being able to sit up on his own.
• He sits in a high chair to eat his solid foods.
• Still sleeps 12 hours at night. 
• He can roll everywhere.
• Jackson babbles and makes all the cute baby noises, dada, baba, nana.
• Laughs hysterically when Matthew tickles him.

 Jackson loves his two fingers. The minute he gets sleepy, in they go!

 Here he is standing at the rocking chair.

 Hanging out in his pajamas. Thanks Krista for my new pajamas!
