At 14 months he could count to 13, now he is progressing up to 20. He's still having a little trouble past 13, as all the numbers begin to sound the same to him so 13 is 14, 15, 16 and so on. Here's a little video of him counting. You'll see he gets a little distracted in the middle:-)<br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwl91sgjH0z5RiDcgDGXFpxKsCwNMbRg5s5YuXcG3hqbkJsL2D40kpaLNjhCYk1ofef16gP1uIz8vUQ552Z_A' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-52374618895344968592010-05-25T21:52:00.004-05:002010-07-09T22:10:24.330-05:00Jackson is 18 months!Wow, where is the time going... my baby is becoming a boy... then he'll be 18 and grown before you know it. I know I have said this before but I just still can't get enough of him. He truly brings me sunshine everyday! <br /><br />Well he's almost 22 lbs, I know only in the 5% range but it's because of his lean diet, meat veggies and fruit, and almost 31 inches. He's talking up a storm, we believe he will be the social butterfly. He loves telling people "hi" when we go out, especially kids. I feel bad sometimes because he's so excited to tell people hi, sometimes they don't hear him. I also took out his potty to see if he is interested since he knows when our dog and we go potty. First day I took it out he told our nanny, "potty" and she put him on his potty and he went #2! He's done it one more time... we'll see how it goes.<br /><br />His favorite things right now...<br />- my wallet - he loves to pull the credit cards out and give them to me. If he can't get them out he grunts and fusses until I help him. <br />- randomly counting - i'll here him, say "five four three two one" just out of the blue, or count real fast to 10.<br />- Dr. Seuss books - if you show him the covers of the books he can tell you what books they are, Hop on Pop is his favorite<br />- Beans- can't get enough of beans, and given a choice will pick beans over fruit!!<br /><br />Here are a few pics with him at the park with his friend Zoe..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho-qfQrWtvKDU-vbxciGX_YWd9838UfjG6FBDDjxCaU9bXF8ROYtPkqNuqYYazWZvxr7mjWqqSvlGPGg7IzcuG1G99vmti8fOPuWr7nmZJqSjdWd6yeAMti2YNETxvafOn75CXQ6_NV7Rb/s1600/Picture+071.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho-qfQrWtvKDU-vbxciGX_YWd9838UfjG6FBDDjxCaU9bXF8ROYtPkqNuqYYazWZvxr7mjWqqSvlGPGg7IzcuG1G99vmti8fOPuWr7nmZJqSjdWd6yeAMti2YNETxvafOn75CXQ6_NV7Rb/s400/Picture+071.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492109315493790370" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPY4uqjboD5sFLpbcsomCTMg-4dpp4qUqk114r0E-pI3C-Gg8GFQ0CxWDqZ_eV-20-TrUNbvejHhgDOZWB0XjMHq27RGp6v2E-RKBb8UA0vQBRiXwm7JnzhbGE-sS-X3CTHZXMhN3Dari/s1600/Picture+069.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPY4uqjboD5sFLpbcsomCTMg-4dpp4qUqk114r0E-pI3C-Gg8GFQ0CxWDqZ_eV-20-TrUNbvejHhgDOZWB0XjMHq27RGp6v2E-RKBb8UA0vQBRiXwm7JnzhbGE-sS-X3CTHZXMhN3Dari/s400/Picture+069.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492109309621319426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi88Q34pEMF-q4QnptRHcWfwEGC1jJXuPAbw96RxIv5PR9Dd-KyW04HQbkOFCn13H6VN8MCvRIrHlYb3JfE-pkek7OVMWd8t-S-jkD5AS0OK6KGXIsYCGrlZwgHwLOYVMifPkKRwMOJgI-/s1600/Picture+067.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi88Q34pEMF-q4QnptRHcWfwEGC1jJXuPAbw96RxIv5PR9Dd-KyW04HQbkOFCn13H6VN8MCvRIrHlYb3JfE-pkek7OVMWd8t-S-jkD5AS0OK6KGXIsYCGrlZwgHwLOYVMifPkKRwMOJgI-/s400/Picture+067.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492109304421787074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4etIZSkHn_ijSiUCL_OQAwxcHXxA8WHCN5qJKRjM3R0qwqWa1k4hnUnVtqSvXiXIqPWNxhVws4FSrDumhB91K0cIZCHnPbFXGEa50o5t4K4U0nAnbvIGw2sKz9S1gzap-k4AC5qjS9yOL/s1600/Picture+064.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4etIZSkHn_ijSiUCL_OQAwxcHXxA8WHCN5qJKRjM3R0qwqWa1k4hnUnVtqSvXiXIqPWNxhVws4FSrDumhB91K0cIZCHnPbFXGEa50o5t4K4U0nAnbvIGw2sKz9S1gzap-k4AC5qjS9yOL/s400/Picture+064.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492109298112363714" /></a>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-77778945336877895322010-01-31T20:47:00.002-06:002010-04-14T21:00:42.873-05:00Jackson Can Count to 3!Jackson is one smart cookie. Here he is counting to 3 at 14 months!! We've been practicing a little with him, so when we say one he says two then we say two and he says three. He just can't get his fingers to go past one but I'm sure he'll pick that up soon.

Key milestones: <br />- He got his top two teeth New Year's eve weekend, that makes a total of 4<br />- He has learned how to get off of couches and beds by turning on his stomach and <br /> pushing himself down until he feels the ground<br />- After months of sign language for the word "eat" he is finally saying it<br />- His vocabulary continues to amaze us, now he can repeat almost any word you say<br />- He loves to walk around pointing 1 finger in the air, we've now told him that <br /> means one, so now when we start counting he puts up the 1 finger for one1<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62puBU3IU8qj1r-buSE3IKNRige-PDTzUoehe0X-9cPoU-yug-KaKzj_A9Zgf-C2iZuaC2xaOEgGPLqqTK3e_jKF3X50QXE-uTkHKrQgta_OI13OfCH9QrqanN_g0UgI2pc8Z0k493joM/s1600-h/IMG_3648.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62puBU3IU8qj1r-buSE3IKNRige-PDTzUoehe0X-9cPoU-yug-KaKzj_A9Zgf-C2iZuaC2xaOEgGPLqqTK3e_jKF3X50QXE-uTkHKrQgta_OI13OfCH9QrqanN_g0UgI2pc8Z0k493joM/s400/IMG_3648.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432740477175522946" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1GfcH26JTF5htgpJtoN3XMZdv3kz-SQMUmxLtA4jWuPLxozuGTKxIhRJoTmM8QM5ZSJlugMv5bL6mqEmsw9yczKTU2oLXv8PpPXrBRlQh5uMso1sbvVuWNhYgQva4XB4WHqHJrHdYISn/s1600-h/IMG_3642.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1GfcH26JTF5htgpJtoN3XMZdv3kz-SQMUmxLtA4jWuPLxozuGTKxIhRJoTmM8QM5ZSJlugMv5bL6mqEmsw9yczKTU2oLXv8PpPXrBRlQh5uMso1sbvVuWNhYgQva4XB4WHqHJrHdYISn/s400/IMG_3642.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432740476621415074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4M1sJM44-Pjoa9-bBXLJDz0LFIS7pHqczBEFosTkL_ghF2oYS2yp99h__aQ_GaAra2h4EJ8TRqxaXeie5qEeOy2uv2Kh8Nln-iOfIP3VvJ4fGGwAxrqkJq6oSIqlaqJWOz6egYAX0nqMR/s1600-h/IMG_3641.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4M1sJM44-Pjoa9-bBXLJDz0LFIS7pHqczBEFosTkL_ghF2oYS2yp99h__aQ_GaAra2h4EJ8TRqxaXeie5qEeOy2uv2Kh8Nln-iOfIP3VvJ4fGGwAxrqkJq6oSIqlaqJWOz6egYAX0nqMR/s400/IMG_3641.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432740468266877842" /></a>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-13837944496501153562010-01-25T21:01:00.001-06:002010-04-14T21:10:45.681-05:00Horsey, Lions Oh Boy...We've been practicing saying animal sounds and movements with Jackson.

The exibit was short but very intriguing, still think Jackson was a bit too young to be fully engaged but he did get a kick out of it. Of course he was not feeling the conductor hat:-) The exhibit had small replicas of the dallas skyline, New York City, neighborhoods and the white house of which the train circled around. <br /><br />After we watched the trains we walked around the mall and found a puppet show that was near it's end, so we sat and watched what was left of the show. Next year we will definitely plan our holiday events earlier so we don't miss out. <br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-aa.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-aa.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325789258666&site=widget-aa.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325789258666&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-aa.slide.com/p1/3314649325789258666/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325789258666&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-aa.slide.com/p2/3314649325789258666/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325789258666&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-aa.slide.com/p4/3314649325789258666/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-67932348022794385412009-12-19T22:01:00.002-06:002010-04-11T22:20:23.370-05:00Getting Ready for The Christmas CardSo we thought we would have a great picture to use for our Christmas Cards from a photographer we hired for Jackson's birthday party. Well there was a miscommunication and so she ended up not showing up and we were left to hire my mom as our photographer to try and capture a great shot. Those of you with children know that with little ones the adults have to be ready every shot because you never know when the shot of them smiling will occur. Well of course I had to get on Jarvis for not being ready every moment:-) Here are a few of the ones that didn't make the cut, but were cute nonetheless. <br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-31.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-31.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325789267505&site=widget-31.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325789267505&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-31.slide.com/p1/3314649325789267505/ms_t021_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325789267505&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-31.slide.com/p2/3314649325789267505/ms_t021_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325789267505&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-31.slide.com/p4/3314649325789267505/ms_t021_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-9936540549467593732009-12-19T20:52:00.001-06:002010-02-27T23:50:01.851-06:00Dr. Seuss Ice ExhibitWe've been spending some time with some friends of ours we met through Gymboree who have a little girl named Zoe whose 3 months younger than Jackson. Turns out they are friends with a mutual friend of ours from Cincinnati. The Dorrah's told us about this exhibit that happens every year at the Texas Gaylord Hotel where for the month of December they create an elaborate ice display based on a theme. This year's ice display was based on Dr. Seuss. We were in awe, it was truly amazing, everything you'll see in the pictures was all ice! Apparently people come from China (I think that's the country) and work on building the sculptures for 30 days. They keep the temperature at 9 degrees in the exhibit so they give you huge parkas to keep you nice and warm as you cruise through the exhibit. This will definitely be an annual thing we will do!<br /><br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-76.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-76.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325786705014&site=widget-76.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786705014&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-76.slide.com/p1/3314649325786705014/ms_t028_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786705014&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-76.slide.com/p2/3314649325786705014/ms_t028_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786705014&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-76.slide.com/p4/3314649325786705014/ms_t028_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-70875748798704094692009-12-11T23:51:00.003-06:002010-02-27T23:49:52.345-06:00All Bundled UpI just had to take a picture of jackson in his jacket and hat.

The first party in Montgomery was mostly family but also a few good friends. As you guys know from previous entries, Jackson's allergies prohibit him from enjoying the things we love...cake, icing...ice cream so being the good mommy I am I scoured Montgomery in search for gluten free ingredients to make him his own special cake. After staying up late the night before the big bash and making two cakes (in case one didn't turn out right), Jackson's cake was ready for him to dive in. Of course when it came time to dive in, he needed a little help from me but ultimately was OK not having cake! He had such a good time at his party and enjoyed playing with his cousins. With the party wrapping up around 3:30, the Boyd's were packed up and on the road for our 10 hour trek back to Dallas and Jackson slept 9 of the 10 hrs!<br /><br />For birthday party #2, I went a little overboard. I handmade all of his invitations.(not sure I would ever do that again after 20+ hrs of work) and attempted to make another cake for him and the cake for the party. The theme was a Jungle so we had blow up jungle animals, jungle treat boxes, jungle theme music and animal tags for the kids. All of his frito lay friends came out to celebrate with him and a few friends that we've met since we had Jackson. I made little mini turkey sliders and animal cookies for the kids. A friend suggested having an older activity for the older kids so we bought some canvases and oil paints for the kids to paint pictures. Everyone enjoyed themselves so I know it was all worth it. Can't believe my baby is one!! This has truly been a blessed year..I will cherish this time forever...<br /><br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-3f.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-3f.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325786692159&site=widget-3f.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786692159&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3f.slide.com/p1/3314649325786692159/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786692159&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3f.slide.com/p2/3314649325786692159/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786692159&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3f.slide.com/p4/3314649325786692159/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-f7.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-f7.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325785470199&site=widget-f7.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325785470199&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f7.slide.com/p1/3314649325785470199/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325785470199&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f7.slide.com/p2/3314649325785470199/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325785470199&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f7.slide.com/p4/3314649325785470199/ms_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-17522895161871244672009-12-01T22:33:00.001-06:002010-04-11T22:47:20.301-05:00Jackson's Now Walking!!So as you may remember from my many previous posts, I have been wondering when this day was going to finally come. Well 12 1/2 months and it is here. Jackson took 26 steps today, the most yet and so I will say he is walking! It's soo interesting to watch. It's very robotic, as if they are really thinking "how do I do this walking thing." But we are very excited for this milestone for him. I know we might not be thinking that when we are chasing him all over the house like crazy but for now we are just as excited as he is.<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-62cdb4e9dfdd8c2e height=266 width=320 contentId="62cdb4e9dfdd8c2e"></OBJECT>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-71197579911278728002009-11-23T23:24:00.001-06:002010-01-30T11:50:43.515-06:00Jackson Turns ONE!!!Today is Jackson's official birthday. We started the day at the allergist getting round two of his flu shot. Then we went to the doctor for his 12 month check up. Jackson is growing is definitely growing and as the doctor said is very advanced. He weighed in as a lightweight of 18 lbs, in the 10th percentile. He's so active now that the doctor said we probably need to just feed him more to keep up with his metabolism. His height came in at the 30th percentile at 29 in.<br /><br />Jackson's development continues to amaze us. He's taking steps but not full on walking, but we imagine it will really be any day now. He's becoming more independent and loves to walk around holding his bottle, multitaksing:-) He is doing well with his vocabulary and loves to try and repeat every word you say. His favorite thing to do still is to read. He will sit quietly on the floor and flip through books as if he's reading to himself. He almost likes this more than us reading to him. We believe he is destined to be a scholar:-)<br /><br />To celebrate pre-birthday parties, we took him to cheesecake factory. He had a good time eating french fries - which he loves and was pleasantly entertained by the cheesecake factory staff when they sang happy birthday. Initially we started out going to this new restaurant, Cozy Kitchen, because they advertised that they had gluten free desserts and breads, but they were closed so unfortunately Jackson didn't get any cake on his official birthday. All Jackson could do was look at his ice-cream sundae that the staff brought out.:-(<br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-7d.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-7d.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325786692477&site=widget-7d.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786692477&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-7d.slide.com/p1/3314649325786692477/ms_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786692477&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-7d.slide.com/p2/3314649325786692477/ms_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325786692477&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-7d.slide.com/p4/3314649325786692477/ms_t062_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-60800755561660620682009-11-01T00:09:00.002-05:002010-01-24T22:45:18.750-06:00Halloween...Tricks & Treats<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi3G3Kehi4Z1ll18N4GANc6pXmduYwYh4XN2DVk_03ha6a9_wKP-QKKoDlPEK1ye85AipLzyDVlsbkEe5FTOuoQW5texGJYQj7w5BwwD5t8422T5LzswQUWRHGw8mCGmIQSebTJ0bj1WkC/s1600-h/IMG_3322.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi3G3Kehi4Z1ll18N4GANc6pXmduYwYh4XN2DVk_03ha6a9_wKP-QKKoDlPEK1ye85AipLzyDVlsbkEe5FTOuoQW5texGJYQj7w5BwwD5t8422T5LzswQUWRHGw8mCGmIQSebTJ0bj1WkC/s400/IMG_3322.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401370721340278882" /></a><br />Halloween was a busy three days for Jackson. Thursday my marketing department invited all the babies born between January 2007-present to a fun celebration where they all dressed up in their costumes. You ask why did they restrict the age, well we've had a bit of a phenomenon in the department where about 35+ babies have been born since 2007. Since I've given birth to Jackson 17 other women have also given birth to babies!!<br /><br />Friday we went over to one of Jackson's friend's house's, Charlotte for some pumpkin carving. Charlotte's mom also works with me and she had Charlotte 2 months after Jackson. Jackson enjoyed playing with all the children. He's such a social baby he just bounced around from playing with one baby to the next as if he was working the room.:-)<br /><br />Then Saturday we started out the afternoon going to the Dallas Arboretum. Every year they have a fall festival with a pumpkin patch and fun activities for the kids. We spent some time exploring the arboretum and ended up in a very organized and creative pumpkin patch. Jackson loved the arboretum he was facinated with all the flowers, fun props and the pumpkins. <br /><br />After the arboretum we raced home to get ready for trick or treating. One of our neighbors invited us and a few other neighbors to her house for some pizza and treats before we all headed out for some trick or treating. We ended up just going trick or treating on our street and then came back to the house to give out candy. Jackson was pooped by 8pm and our little lion was fast asleep by 8:15.<br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-f2.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-f2.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325780477426&site=widget-f2.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325780477426&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f2.slide.com/p1/3314649325780477426/ms_t046_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325780477426&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f2.slide.com/p2/3314649325780477426/ms_t046_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325780477426&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-f2.slide.com/p4/3314649325780477426/ms_t046_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-33268370734346267882009-10-28T22:49:00.001-05:002010-01-27T23:19:20.186-06:00Swim Class With DaddyNormally I am the one in the pool with Jackson for his swim class but today I was running late from work so I ended up meeting Jarvis and Jackson at the pool.

He either enjoys it too much or he's just plain greedy. We often have to stop him or limit the amount of food we put on his tray because otherwise his mouth will be stuffed. It's amazing that he only has two little teeth at the bottom but he can stuff his mouth and work the food with his gums and two teeth until it's small enough to swallow...crazy!<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-4f2598dd7b0f1e9d height=266 width=320 contentId="4f2598dd7b0f1e9d"></OBJECT>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-73616333738499683862009-10-23T09:17:00.002-05:002010-01-24T22:49:26.374-06:00Jackson's 11 Months!!Jackson turned 11 months today, can hardly believe he'll be a year next month.

We bought him this push toy several weeks ago to try and get him interested in pushing something around, ya know so that he would walk soon and to our surprise he had NO interest in pushing the toy, all he wanted to do was turn it over on it's side and play with it. Well Jarvis started working with him the past day and voila he is cruising with his toy. I believe he will be walking by his first birthday!<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-6f1d1838dd0b3c18 height=266 width=320 contentId="6f1d1838dd0b3c18"></OBJECT>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-18086227232102231192009-10-09T22:59:00.001-05:002009-11-09T11:24:03.216-06:00Day Out With DaddyAs you've seen in earlier pictures, Jarvis gets a kick out of dressing Jackson up like him and taking pictures of themselves.

He loves to praise himself so often that sometimes he stops our exercise and starts to clap to say "yeah" after one command.<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-38bccc66863990f height=266 width=320 contentId="38bccc66863990f"></OBJECT>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-72400183611973512362009-10-03T08:38:00.004-05:002009-11-09T11:23:47.399-06:007-11 PlaydateJackson invited all of his frito lay baby friends over for some good food, football and fun! There are six babies that were born within 2-3 months of each other at work, two actually born within a few weeks of Jackson. So we'd thought it would be fun to have them over for a playdate...hence the 7-11, they were all between 7 and ll months. As you can see from the pictures, it was like herding cats. We had 3 different cameras and probably 8 or so pictures and NONE of them came out clear or with all five babies looking straight ahead:-)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcEmBuB1g3rQWo2XF9pqS-Cn-CYawxTtPEz31KAjDlJIdMqYJRd-DgeyTTpg-CwSCoFHHJqA13QgO3fztSxnCOJKEeTe6CN3ZtywEOnN3WcxrfymBSO21_QpnYJxWGOAx8YLbmqCmzH6RW/s1600-h/Playdate+2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcEmBuB1g3rQWo2XF9pqS-Cn-CYawxTtPEz31KAjDlJIdMqYJRd-DgeyTTpg-CwSCoFHHJqA13QgO3fztSxnCOJKEeTe6CN3ZtywEOnN3WcxrfymBSO21_QpnYJxWGOAx8YLbmqCmzH6RW/s400/Playdate+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401372114228882162" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadbbhFVDb1OMwModHJ1YXO8nEL_1CO56Ip71WEQcZFKAR88L94tFWIjmpE67wXmghUCImh3e0wVxeAZcGHuWQvqKnp6yaYBp5eGZ0sjOwbaPrhlQ7hRCEgvx9G28cKRLBTdO9SaUzf412/s1600-h/Playdate+1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadbbhFVDb1OMwModHJ1YXO8nEL_1CO56Ip71WEQcZFKAR88L94tFWIjmpE67wXmghUCImh3e0wVxeAZcGHuWQvqKnp6yaYBp5eGZ0sjOwbaPrhlQ7hRCEgvx9G28cKRLBTdO9SaUzf412/s400/Playdate+1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401372110033319058" /></a>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-2363137696631866712009-09-23T12:55:00.006-05:002009-11-09T11:23:38.717-06:00Jackson's 10 Months!!!Today Jackson celebrates another monthly birthday Jackson is now 10 month’s old!!! We are making a lot of progress, he’s finally signing back to me!!! He know how to sign, “milk”, “all done”, and blow kisses. He’s still not walking but he will take a few steps when you hold his hand in front. He is a self praiser and likes to praise himself when HE feels like he’s done a good job. And while we probably won’t have to worry about self-esteem issues, we may have someone who may be too assure of himself – but hey confidence isn’t a bad thing. Our method of praise is “yay” with a hand clap and boy does he love this! <br /><br />He has added “stop”, “pup pup” to his vocabulary. He loves to tell us “stop” and with attitude when we tell him “stop” as he’s doing something he’s not supposed to do. I’ve got him pretty well trained when I yell his name or say it with force I sometimes don’t even have to say stop, he’ll just automatically say it for me. Now, most of the time he stops what he’s doing but then goes right back and does it again but we are making progress:-)<br /><br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-d0.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-d0.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3314649325780034256&site=widget-d0.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325780034256&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d0.slide.com/p1/3314649325780034256/ms_t021_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325780034256&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d0.slide.com/p2/3314649325780034256/ms_t021_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3314649325780034256&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d0.slide.com/p4/3314649325780034256/ms_t021_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-32044822285675669662009-09-19T22:51:00.002-05:002009-11-07T07:37:23.750-06:00Dirty Looks...Just for Play?All those that have been around Jackson over the past several months has seen his famous dirty look. At first he was just doing it for fun, now he knows how to use it in context. It's funny because he'll even play with you, if you give him a dirty look he'll give you one right back. He'll go back and forth dirty look, release to a smile, dirty look, smile.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIEc5qNnC8eGUS9nb7NAQZiQ6yNhN__eR9nXS0MYgjfnq7ISH_llaWk6yAwW9tLzH85etI3bLjGV59YyapILWuMtLXBV5PymQkYGxa-Fblqdn7lqR0MIQ9jG7v_B1N2oHk9Pi6yDJEHHHo/s1600-h/mean+mug.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 394px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIEc5qNnC8eGUS9nb7NAQZiQ6yNhN__eR9nXS0MYgjfnq7ISH_llaWk6yAwW9tLzH85etI3bLjGV59YyapILWuMtLXBV5PymQkYGxa-Fblqdn7lqR0MIQ9jG7v_B1N2oHk9Pi6yDJEHHHo/s400/mean+mug.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399735670591951474" /></a>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114600335515534676.post-84473245779170552092009-09-19T22:25:00.001-05:002009-10-21T23:51:38.888-05:00Trip to San AntonioJackson and I drove down to San Antonio for my nephew's birthday. This was my first time driving a long distance (4.5 hrs) with Jackson by myself. Jarvis stayed behind because he had tickets to see a UFC fight and the Cowboy game in the new statium.<br /><br />As you folks with children know, we become a slave to our children's schedule so it was important that we leave during jackson's nap time so I could get as much driving done while he was sound asleep. The plan was successful and he slept for the firs 2.5 hours. By the time he woke up we stopped so I could change him and feed him. Then back on the road for another 2 hrs. Well he wasn't so excited about that. He fussed for about 15 min then miraculously fell asleep again!! I guess the ride was too relaxing for him in the end or was tired of fussing and realized he couldn't get out.<br /><br />We had a great time in San Antonio at Chuck E Cheese. I guess that will be us someday...parties for Jackson at Chuck E Cheese. At least jarvis and I love the pizza there! After the party we went to meet one of my best friends from high school and her mom. Jackson was excited to see them and it was great catching up with auntie april and her mom. The drive back was much of the same but we stopped off for a nice treat at the Kolache Bakery!<br /><br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-bf.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-bf.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3458764513854484671&site=widget-bf.slide.com"/></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3458764513854484671&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-bf.slide.com/p1/3458764513854484671/ms_t014_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3458764513854484671&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-bf.slide.com/p2/3458764513854484671/ms_t014_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3458764513854484671&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-bf.slide.com/p4/3458764513854484671/ms_t014_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p>ShedaBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07937672355315095229noreply@blogger.com0
