Our Little Monkey

Of course our little monkey just HAD to be a monkey for Halloween! He wore his costume to school today for the Halloween parade. The parade is at 10, so I will be very surprised if he lasts that long in it, but maybe he will. He wasn't protesting too much this morning about the headpiece.

Happy Baby!

Another video from last night. Again, sorry about the dark background, but I had to post this video just so that you could hear him laughing. He is totally cracking himself up! I wonder what is so funny about that apple!

The Eyes of Texas...

Here's a picture from Saturday night as we sat out on the patio and watched football. Jackson is a big fan of his Longhorns! And here's a short video from last night as Jackson played in his Exersaucer. Sorry the video is so dark, but the whole purpose is to hear the song playing in the background. I love how his Exersacuer plays the "Eyes of Texas" :-)

New Tricks

Here's Jackson showing off his new tricks...Just this week he started sitting up unassisted!

Just a quick photo of the little monkey:

Happy Fall

It is a gorgeous day today so we decided to go to a pumpkin patch to take a few pics and buy a pumpkin for the front porch. Jackson was a little unsure about sitting among pumpkins and on hay, but overall he did pretty good. We got a few good pics of our little pumpkin:

Preview

I am so excited about Jackson's Halloween costume! We were trying on some new clothes this afternoon and I just had to put the costume on him again. Here is a preview...

Big Boy

I finally weighed Jackson this morning, and I was pretty close with my guesstimate on Monday. He weighs 19.5 pounds. Holy smokes! No wonder I can barely carry him in that carseat!

I like my feet!

Future Longhorn! Texas Texas Yee-Haw!

Attempting to roll over...

5 Months Old

Jackson is 5 months old today. I had intended on weighing him earlier tonight so that I could include his current weight in this post, but I remembered after he was already in bed. My guess is that he probably weighs almost 20 pounds. Hopefully I will remember to jump on the scale sometime this week and will let you know what the big boy weighs.

He is finally understanding the concept of eating cereal each night. He actually gets excited now when he sees me start to make the bowl for him. And much to the relief of his teachers, I finally took some cereal into school. I had been waiting until I felt like he had a pretty good idea of what he was supposed to do with the cereal. His teachers have been begging for the cereal for a month now; he typically wants to eat every 2 hours at school and they are hoping the cereal will buy them some additional time between bottles. I doubt it will do much, since he only eats about a tablespoon at a time right now.

These pics were taken tonight after his cereal:

A Few Random Pics

Here are a few pics that were taken recently. They had to be scanned to be uploaded, so the quality is not the best. But they are still cute pics of Jackson!

Here's Jackson after bath time, with a tiny little hairdo!
