Jackson's tummy skills

These three pictures were taken in March, May, and June respectively. You can see in the first one, it took so much effort just to hold his little head up. Then in the second picture, he's clearly got the whole tummy thing mastered, and by the third picture he's showing off, "look mom, no hands!" We just can't believe how fast he's growing up; it's definitely bittersweet. Stay tuned for an update from his 6-month well baby check-up!

Memorial Day

This is pretty delinquent, but better late than never! For Memorial Day we traveled to Robber's Cave Park to attend Eric's family reunion. Jackson did pretty well for the 3 hour car ride and of course showed off his sweet little personality the entire time we were there. We did have to make a quick stop on the way there and the way back to give little man a rest from the car seat, but other than that, it was a very nice trip.

Cousin Addison's 2nd Birthday

Last week cousin Addison Paige turned two! Jackson and Mommy traveled to Enid to help celebrate. We enjoyed cake and ice cream at Addison's house and even captured a pretty cute picture of the cousins. I can tell you that Addison was sweet enough to give Jackson a kiss, but mommy was too slow with the camera and missed it. Addison seems to think that Jackson is fairly interesting and tolerates him as long as he's not attempting to play with her toys. Jackson thinks that Addison is pretty funny. It was a great weekend, and it was very nice for mommy's family to get some good quality time with the little man who is just growing up before our very eyes!

Father's Day

Eric's first father's day was last Sunday, and we had a wonderful day. Eric was greeted in bed with a sweet baby boy and cards from mommy, Jackson, and the dogs. :) Later we enjoyed a nice father's day breakfast and then headed to Midwest City to spend the day with Mimi, Grandpa, Aunt LeAnn, Uncle Ryan, and cousin Eli. Jackson had his second swimming experience, and this one went much better than the first. His first dip was on Memorial Day, and it was just far too cold for a baby boy, but the water has warmed considerably over the last month, and Jackson floated around for awhile happily splashing and being incredibly adorable.
