We had a great Saturday. Our friends came from New Jersey to visit. They brought us a shower cake from the Cake Boss! It was delicious! Since all the girls couldn't be here, Kim brought the baby shower to us! Thanks to all the my girls who are so thoughtful. Thank you to Kim and Chris and the girls for coming and driving in the bad weather! We had so much fun and ate way too much! Jackson was so sad when the girls left. Thank you Brian for cooking us such a feast! :)
We went over to the Malloe's for some fantastic Hawaiian BBQ. Jackson had so much fun playing with all the kids. He got pretty dirty, flipped off the slide, and ate delicious shouo (?) chicken. Thank you for having us!
We went to New Jersey last week to visit Kim, Chris, Camryn, and Maddie. We had so much fun! Jackson loves playing with the girls. We miss them already! We all went to kid junction and played dress-up, and Jackson and Camryn loved the slide! Thank you for everything, we can't wait to come visit again!
Jackson will be 20 months on Sunday. He is talking so much now. He can say lots of words, so much now sometimes he will just repeat words you say. He loves Sesame Street, especially Elmo. He jumps in front of the TV yelling Elmo, Elmo. He loves 101 Dalmatians and Jungle Book. He loves dogs. He loves playing in the snow and running outside. He jumps on and off of everything! He still sucks his thumb and loves his blue taggie blanket. He loves for us to read to him. He loves throwing balls and hitting them with his bat..I think he might be a lefty :) He plays really well with other kids. His favorite food changes weekly from hot dogs, blueberries, french fries and bananas. He knows mommy has a baby in her belly and he shakes his head no when you ask him if he wants to be a big brother. He pretty much shakes his head no to anything you ask him :)
Jackson had a playdate today with his pal Avery. They had so much fun playing. Avery shared all of her toys, it was so cute! The moms had a great time too! :)
Jackson and Dad spent the day together, while I went to NYC to seeing a taping of the View. We had so much fun. Barbara Walters is so tiny! She looks awesome for 78! It was a great day out with the girls. The boys had a great time too :)
We got a little snow yesterday. Jackson watched out the window all day...he loved it! The next day we played outside. He was not excited to come back in the house!
Jackson had his 18 month appointment this week, only a day after getting back from our vaction! Jackson apparently ate well because he jumped up to 24 lbs! Now he is in the 25 th percentile for weight! He was between 33 1/2 and 34 inches long. Guess we don't have to worry anymore :) ! He is doing great and growing fast! I also had an appointment and baby Stark #2 is also growing fast! :)
Jackson had so much fun playing at Westek with Grandpa and Uncle Matt! He played in the snow, played with his cousins, and did a little sleding, although he didn't like it much! We also saw Argy and Nick and met beautiful baby Demetri. :)
Grammy and Grandpa had the ranch all ready for Jackson. He helped feed the cows, jumped in the mud and drove the tractor with Grandpa. Great Grandpa and Grandma Ansley came to visit with Aunt Pam. We all had a blast! Thank you Grammy and Grandpa!
Jackson loves his ocean play mat! He spends hours on it everyday talking to his toy octopus that hangs down from the top. He likes tummy time but only for minutes at a time...unless it is on mommy or daddy.
