Another Message from Jack

I received another email message from Jack yesterday.  Here is part of what he wrote along with a picture:

Hey Mom.  Hope you're having a good day.  Nanny Toot decided we needed to go shopping today.  First we went to Ross.  That was a quick trip - I guess she didn't see what she was looking for.  Then we went to GR.  We have been there before.  I curious why these old ladies keep flirting with me.   Do I look like I am in the market?  I know I'm cute but GEEZ, enough already!  I was really good in GR.  We kept riding up and down the aisle with mirrors and playing hide and seek.  That was fun.

Then we went to Wal-Mart.  I rode in the buggy there and was really good.  But I got tired of that shopping.  While we were sitting in the check out line, I decided I would drink my juice - so I picked up the bottle from beside me and started drinking.  Don't get too excited because I'm not into holding that thing myself.  It is just too much trouble.  Besides, it come out better when you are holding it for me.  Evidently I'm not tilting it high enough.

I ate all my lunch and played in the cabinet drawers.  I like to open and close them because they squeak.  Now I am pooped so I think I will take a nap until you get here.

Love you mom, Jack

An Email From Jack

"Jackson" sent me an email today along with a picture.  Here is what he had to say about his day:

Hey mom, I'm having a good day. I ate all my breakfast and then I pooped my pants - not bad though. Nanny Toot took me outside and I ran those 2 little hairy dogs all over that deck. I took an hour nap this morning. And you will be so proud of me I didn't fuss or cry. I just laid down and went to sleep. I was tired. I ate all my lunch too. Then I watched Nanny Toot eat hers. I kept opening my mouth but she wouldn't share any of hers with me. What's up with that? I've often shared mine with her...well, I can't help it if it landed on her shirt or in her lap....the point is I SHARE. We went back out on the deck for a little while then ms. susan came by. Nanny Toot always has that camera out. So to make her happy I'm gonna send you a photo she took of me while I was trying to chill. Hope my expression doesn't show my annoyance too much. Na, I don't mind her always taking my picture - I think she thinks I'm pretty cute. I love you mom, see you soon. Hope you're having a good day.  Jack

Spring Break...Jackson Style!

Jackson has been a very busy little man since he turned 10 months old.  For spring break we traveled to Atmore to visit with family and friends.  We spent most of our time shopping, eating, and visiting (notice I didn't mention napping).  While in Atmore, Jackson got to sleep in his mom's old crib because his nana decided to get it together for him.  It was really quite funny.  At the end of spring break, Jackson's MiMi and Pops came for the weekend.  We all went out to dinner at The Bright Star...it was Jackson's first official trip out to eat at a nice restaurant.  He was quite a sight.  He did a pretty good job of flirting with the waitresses.

What is Jackson up to these days?

• He has 2 shiny white teeth on the bottom and it appears there is one coming in up top but it hasn't arrived.
• He enjoys sticking his tongue out or sucking on his lip while trying to accomplish something.  He usually has quite a determined look on his face.  It is quite hysterical.
• He is crawling anywhere in the house he wants to go (within reason). 
• We are having to childproof some of the cabinet doors.
• Queenie is a nervous wreck at the moment.
• He is pulling up on just about everything.
• He has become quite clingy to his mom.
• He is not napping as well as before but is still sleeping through the night for the most part.
• He enjoys being outside and going to the store.
• He is wearing a size 4 diaper and size 18-24 mo. and sometimes 2T clothes.
• He is laughing more and more.
• He discovered the stairs and made it up a couple (with lots of supervision) but the baby gate is already up to prevent injury.

I have some pictures below from different times during the past couple of weeks.
