Happy Holidays!


I'm all dressed up in my holiday outfit! While Mom was trying to get me to smile for this photo, I sat up so much that I did my first forward roll down the hill in the front of the lawn. Mommy caught me as I landed perfectly! :)

Hiking in La Costa




Field Museum - Chicago





Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa Lewy took me to the Field Museum while I was in Chicago for Thanksgiving. We saw all sorts of dinosaurs, fossils, and mummy's in the exhibits. Here's some pictures of me with Sue, the dinosaur!

Watch me sit up on my dad

Jackson is getting ready to sit up on his own any week or day now. He is getting stronger and stronger. Watch him sit up from a reclined position. He was getting a little tired here after doing it about 15 times before I got the camera rolling!

My First Thanksgiving



Cousins Abby, Elliot, and Jackson all play together for the first time!











Cousin Elliot is showing Jackson his toy collection.

Elliot is very interested in Jackson.














This is Jackson's first time sitting up in the Bumbo all by himself!














All the cousins are laughing!

Great Aunt Sheila holding me at Thanksgiving dinner...yummy!
Great Uncle Howard was playing with me after dessert.

Weekend With Me and My Dad

Jackson tried on his first pair of shoes...Vans (a skate shoe, of course!).
I was at a gymnastics meet over the weekend and this was my first night away and Brian's first night all on his own. This was definitely much harder than I think either of us expected! There was one freak out moment on everyone's part, but it was eventually resolved. Jackson had decided not to take a bottle for over 7 hours! Dad had a good talk with him and they worked things out. In this picture, Sanford and Jackson are watching their first cartoon together...Pooh and Tigger.

Jackson hit a few milestones this weekend, including holding his bottle on his own!
BUSTED!!! Now you'll have to hold your own bottle when eating with Daddy! :)

Hitting My Parrot

Here's a video of a lot of the things that Jackson has just started doing. He's getting very good at entertaining himself for a few minutes on his Tummy Time mat. He's having so much fun trying to grasp at everything, although sometimes I think he gets frustrated too!

Sitting up Smiling

Jackson has become so animated in the past few weeks. He smiles all the time and laughs too.

He loves bath time and to rock in his chair.

He just learned how to grab both hands together, stick them into his mouth (preferably at the same time), stick his tougue out at you, and he's beginning to learn how to sit up from a reclined position. Oh, and a week ago he rolled over from his back to his stomach. He hasn't done it since, but we're waiting to get that one on camera! There's always something new to learn in Jackson's day. Until the next time...

My First Halloween

Jackson got all dressed up after Dad got home from work. He put his wiskers on and toured the neighborhood. Everyone loved his outfit!

Sanford dressed up in his best tuxedo...
and Anson cowered around totally embarassed wearing his "Fire Hydrant Inspector" t-shirt! :) Jackson had so much fun smiling and cooing at all of the neighbors that he passed out in Mommy's arms on the way home. Trick or Treating success!!!

Trying on his costume...

Jackson wasn't very happy when I wanted to try on his Halloween costume the other day.
He didn't like that I had to pull it over his face from behind.
But then he started smiling and coo-ing. He's been doing that a lot lately.

He must have a lot to say! :)

Mr. Grump

We tried to take some nice photo's of Jackson in the front yard. It started off pretty well...
But Jackson got a little grumpy...
Then he got even more grumpy...
Dad didn't know what to do!
This photo was just about his only moment of contentment in between his hunger cries! :)
Anson is a pretty good baby sitter. When Jackson gets upset he gets worried.



















Jackson got a little time in the back yard with some toys.


Hitting the town in my hat.

A Day at a Rock 2




A Day at a Rock 1





We went climbing as a family here in Carlsbad. Jackson had fun watching his mom and dad try to boulder around on this huge rock!
