Jackson's 1st Birthday!

We had an awesome birthday! He dove into his cake just like I knew he would and almost ate all of it!! Thanks to everyone for the presents. I cryed yesterday because I don't want him to grow up!! Anyways thanks so much to everyone that came it was awesome!

I LOVE this picture...he's like "mom please no more pictures...." he defiantly has attitude!! haha.

He is defiantly going to be entered into the cutest baby contest. Thanks Poopsie for this cute outfit!!
CHEESE!

Great present Grandma Francie...he loves his racing car...vroom vroom

One of Jackson's favorite activities, playing with the blinds....I just hope he doesn't rip one down..ahhh

He is such a big boy learning how to drink from his sippy cup! yay!

Just daddy and Jack loving each other... Other than that, we have just been playing and having fun all day long. He is getting into everything (esp. the tuperware drawer) and never sleeping, but hey maybe he is the energizer bunny. Now my job during the day is to make him as tired as possible, so it's non stop fun and playing all day! Woohoo!

7 Things

7 Things
Things you didn't know about Abby:
#1: I hate spending money. It's so stressful and too know that your "nest egg" is draining is pretty sad.

#2: I LOVE playing in the ocean. I'm scared of sharks but I can't help myself.

#3: I have become a very big Ravens fan, and have a crush on the head coach John Harbaugh...yes Kyle knows, but the only reason I do is because he looks like Kyle maybe 10 years from now haha.

#4: I don't really like to stay in one place too long. I would love to be able to travel the world.

#5: I love being spontaneous, I think it's fun to not always know how something is going to play out.

#6: I hate showers.

#7: I don't like candy, just chocolate.

There you go...

More Christmas

This is a typical Jackson face!! He has just begun to get his teeth next to the bottom middle, so he's been kind of fussy lately, but a good sport about it. I don't know how I would do it, getting teeth every other week. He has just started walking around with his walker...such a big boy, he could do that all day. Too bad I'm not in as good of shape as him...haha...but he is almost 23 lbs. and only 10 months old...i'm not feeding him steak I promise just veggies...that's for you Grandpa Kirk, they make you strong and healthy.

Thanks Aunt Nancy for this awesome bear!!!!

This is Jackson just waking up from a nap with sheetmarks on his face...haha I love his facial expression in the first one!!!

Jack learned that the fridge means food...haha...so now he sees if there is anything interesting in there. He also has learned how to crawl out of his high chair. What a goof...

Mischeivious....

We just went to Eastern Shore for Christmas so here are some pictures of that...Jackson loves his two cousins and he always is so serious when the camera comes on...

Santa Presents

Santa was super great to Jack this year, and we were so excited to have gotten many new toys for him to play with. He loves both of the walkers he got, and they are different so it's cool. We ended up going down to Eastern Shore, so he couldn't really play with any of them, but he did when we got back.

Here is Jack looking so excited for Christmas!! haha..he was just a little tired.

Feel Bad

So I have been Santas Elf, and recieving all of these packages from our loves ones to Jackson, and I feel horrible because all we could afford this year was to send christmas cards. So to all of my Colorado/Boston family I am so sorry that I did not send anything, if I could have I would've. We are very excited to see all of Jacks presents and thank you for the thoughtfullness of buying him something. We will pay you back ten fold next year! Merry Christmas!

Ba Ba Ba

So about 2 days ago, Jackson started to say ba ba ba. I don't really know what it means, but it kinda sounds like ball, or mama but with b's. haha. I love his new sounds and everything, because he is so verbal now that he realizes he can talk. It's also nice to be able to have him understand some of what I say. Wish I had some pictures, but I've been fighting with my camera and it's batteries. haha, it just doesn't like me. GO RAVENS!!!!
