Laughers Man

I'm not sure what this says about Jackson but gargling and spitting are the only things that have consistently made him laugh. Most of the ways we get him to laugh are fleeting and only work once. This, however, has lasted through the months and always works! Silly boy!

The New Train

Jackson got a new train from big mama on this trip and he's begining to enjoy it!

Texas

I didn't mean for this cake to be the first picture on here but it's okay I guess knowing how much I love cake! It was very good and Lauren came up with a great decoration! I'm still mad at myself for not bringing some home!

At Alex's graduation. CONGRATS ALEX!!! GREAT JOB!!!

At a park playing with the man.

At the pool with lolo and grill!
This was his first time in the pool! He was a little unsure at first but I think he liked it in the end. He liked the waterfall better than the pool itself.

Typical posers! Actually Alex, it looks like you're going to the bathroom! haha

At the stockyards with Lolo! He's not frowning, I promise!

The picture is a little blurry because Jackson would take the hat off quicker than I could take the pic! He liked being like his Auggie!
He was not excited about wearing cowboy boots! I think I'm okay with that, knowing how much they cost!

Typical Grill!



2 weeks ago we went to Texas for Alex's graduation from Southwestern and because it had been way to long since we'd seen Auntie Lolo and Auggie! We had a great time (for the most part) and they were very hospitible, especially through the tantrums that Jackson and mom had to work through! He was getting over an ear infection when we got there and the medicine made him a bit crazy! Because I'm on my computer at work I can't adjust the pics so I just commented under each one. Most are pretty self explanitory. I have to say that I just love their dog, Gisele. It's not her fault she has a silly name :) haha j/k Anyways a few days into the trip we started calling her Grill because as this last picture shows she was all up in our grill the whole time. She is so sweet though and we didn't mind a bit! She hardly barked at all, which is not my usual expierence with a mini schnauzer. She's only 6 months old but she was great with Jackson, crying and all, and she was so cuddly! Thanks again Lolo and Auggie, we had a great time and can't wait to see you again!!

Hair Cut

Well because of a couple of girl comments ("Hey you have a beautiful little girl!") we decided to get his hair cut! He was very good and didn't cry one bit. He did get wiggly at the end but his name is Jackson Wiggles! Here it is in a progression of pictures:

Bath time the night before. Check out the height on that hair!


At the salon, right before the scissors came!

During the cut he chewed on a yummy comb!



Almost done!



Finished product! Gone is our baby - meet our little boy! I would also like to add that there were no tears from mom or dad! I had prepared myself :)
