5 months old

Jackson is 5 months old. He is such a big boy. He is an angle. He is so easy and sweet. I sure do love this little boy.


Two things about this picture.
1. He is sleeping on his back. When he learned how to roll over this was a problem for a few days. But we let him cry and figure it out on his own so now he can fall asleep while on his back.
2. He is sucking his thumb! WHAT.... I have given this boy a passy since he was born and he loved it. Why has he replaced it with his thumb? I have kept forcing the passy but he spits it out and goes for the thumb instead. Oh no....

Swine Flue

Well we got it... We were so sick and didn't leave our house for a solid week. And, we are just now feeling better and it has been 2 weeks. I sure am glad it is over. I got sick first and two days later Danny and the girls had fevers. Thank goodness Jackson stayed well. Thanks to our sweet neighbors Arlynn and Debbie who took him for hours at a time to let us rest and disinfect his room and thanks to Katrina and Karen for the food and drinks.

We wore masks when Jackson was around. Sadie was scared of them at first but once she saw Savanna with one on she wanted one herself.





Check out all the medicine. This is what we were taking on a daily basis.

We kept Jackson well by bathing him constantly. He got about two baths a day and we sanitized his hands about 10 times a day. He was so clean.


Savanna and Sadie got very creative being stuck inside without leaving our house for a week. Since everyone was so freaked out by the Swine Flue, I kept them on our porch for the first 5 days before I would let them go outside around any other kids. They had fun playing on the porch.

After playing with every toy they had and getting really bored, a package arrived in the mail. It was from "Day" and was the Little People Thanksgiving set and the Nativity Scene. They had so much fun playing with this and it couldn't have arrived at a better time. Thanks Day.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. The girls wanted to dress up as princesses and have Danny be the prince. With a little convincing, it happened. Jackson got to be Cinderella's pumpkin.



Jen and Dave brought the kids over. Blake and Baylee were so cute.
Here he is, our Prince Charming. What a great sport Danny was. He looks awesome in tights.

This is probably Sadie's favorite holiday. I know she was cold while we were trick-or-treating because her nose was red but she didn't care. She would eat a piece of candy after leaving each house and walking to the next. She seriously thought she was in heaven. Look how excited she is to pour out her pumpkin to see what she got.Savanna's first choice out of her pumpkin was pretzels. Then, after taking only 2 things of smarties, she told me she was ready to hang her candy on the tree so the witch could come get it and leave her a prize.

Emma stopped by dressed as Marilyn Monroe. She looked gorgeous.

Putting on Makeup

I know everybody says it but I am watching it happen.... These little girls are best friends.
I love watching them play together. The were watching me get ready and wanted to put makeup on too. I love how still Sadie is being and how Savanna is holding her head still.

Sadie is so proud of her pretty lips. You can't see her "eye" makeup because they were using lip gloss.

Nanna is so brave as Sadie approaches her with that Q-Tip.

One, two, three...

Today we were at home hanging out and I decided to snap a few pics of my cute kids. They decided which pictures I took and who got to have a turn with Jackson. At the end Savanna said she wanted one with just she and Sadie. They are so sweet!

Hawaii

We went to Hawaii for 10 days. It was so much fun. The kids loved playing in the pools and beach. The weather was perfect; 85 most days and low 70s at night. It really is paradise.

Jackson turing 4 months old

Jackson is growing so fast. He will be 4 months old this weekend. He is such a happy smily boy. He is such a good baby. He is a tummy sleeper and has been rolling over in his bed. He gets stuck on his back like a little turtle and can't roll back over. We always know when this happens because he starts to scream in frustration. It is the only time he cries like that so we know exactly what has happened. He is holding his head up so well. He is reaching for toys and starting to play. He is so fun. We are crazy about him.
