I finally have some pictures to post--although some of them are old! I just got all of these pictures off of my brother's camera...and they date back about 5 months...

February 2007 Jackson and Uncle Nick at granddaddy's birthday celebration

Easter 2007 Jackson and mommy (yes, he's in a "sailor suit" with matching hat; and my hair is NOT red--it's apparently the light that makes it look that way! It's brown!)

TODAY (7-13-07) Jackson and his Elmo backpack

More from today:

Mommy and Jackson just laying around (Jackson fell yesterday and his paci jammed up under his nose...you can sort of see the red mark it left...poor baby!)

My little boy!

Brian is out of town in Miami until Sunday. He's down there for Kappa Sigma fraternity's biannual conclave (the last one was in Vegas...see several posts below for a picture from that one). I didnt get to go to this one, but we've only got 3 weeks until a return trip to Vegas! I'm tanning up a storm and trying to look my best for my big vacation...

15-month stats

Jackson had his 15-month well-checkup this morning and here are his stats...

Weight: 25 lbs. 4 oz

Length: 32 inches

I think the pediatrician said he's in the 50% for everything--my growing boy!

I stink...

at this blogging thing! I always look at my page, but rarely post anything--I dont know why!

Maybe it's because I have been totally slack with picture taking lately and have nothing new to post...my digital camera fights against me regularly, so sometimes I just give up and dont take pics!

We've been busy lately, chasing after 15-month-old Jackson! I cant believe I'm the mother of a 15-month old! He is SO incredibly sweet--he loves giving hugs and kisses and does it even without being asked! There is no sweeter moment than when your child just randomly comes over to you and gives you a huge kiss...it just melts my heart!

We've taken Jackson swimming a lot recently and he LOVES it! His favorite part is standing on the side of the pool and jumping in to daddy...he is such a water-baby! I swear he thinks it's a giant bathtub...

For those of you who dont know, Jackson has been sleeping in our bed for almost his entire life. After his surgery (at 11 weeks old) he was extremely clingy to us and would only sleep in our bed, and it's been that way ever since. Well, yesterday was the big day that we re-claimed our marital bed and put Jackson in his "big-boy" bed...so far, so good. I do have to sit on the floor right next to the crib until he goes to sleep, but tonight it only took him 10 minutes to fall completely alseep (which is warp-speed compared to what it used to be!). He's slept in his crib for all of his naps yesterday and today and he's in there right now, so we'll see how it goes!

The countdown to Vegas is on...only 3 1/2 weeks to go, and I cant wait!
