Where do I even begin! Sorry it has been a while since I last blogged. Time really does fly by so quickly and Jackson changes so much everyday! Our last month has been full of firsts! Jackson was taken off of "house arrest" on March 12th!!! We started our day at the pediatrician's office getting our final part of the flu shot, then we stopped by daddy's office and interrupted his loan meeting because we were so excited to actually be able to go inside! Next we picked up daddy and went shoe shopping and got Jackson a pair of sandles and a pair of sperry's to match his dad's! I know that has to seem silly that his first real place he went after 6 months of being stuck inside was to a shoe store, but it was finally starting to get warm and I just couldn't bare to have him running around barefooted. Finally we finished the day with a late lunch- Jackson was a perfect angel! It really is hard to tell that he has been kept inside.
My 1st Trip to a Restaurant!

My New Shoes!


Aunt BB and Uncle Corey got married on March 13th- it was such a special day and Jackson was able to go to the church and take pictures with our family before the wedding! It was also a special day because he cut his first tooth! Jackson cut his second tooth a week later after his very first trip to the zoo! We went with Aunt Ellen and Harrison and had the best time! We had to take separate cars because Jackson still wasn't ready to be close to small children- we are so blessed to have such wonderful friends who will drop everything to spend the day with us no matter what they have to do!
What a fun day!

I love the zoo!

Size 3 Diapers!
Jackson is now wearing size 3 diapers- and if you can't tell he is a pro at sitting up by himself! We went to the doctor last week for Jackson's 9 month check-up and he weighed 16lbs 15oz and was 26 and a 1/2 inches long!

Getting ready to go for a walk with Mrs. Rebecca and Mrs. Lyndsey!
We have thoroughly enjoyed the spring weather and go for a stroll everytime the weather allows. We love it when our friends from the neighborhood can go with us! Jackson spent Monday afternoon flirting with Mrs. Rebecca and Mrs. Lyndsey!

Showing my family how much I love my pool!
Gigi put a tiny blow-up pool in Jackson's Easter basket- he absolutely loves water and would stay in there forever if we would let him! He had to try it out for everyone on Easter!

My 1st Easter outfit!
We had such a blessed Easter! The pediatrician gave us permission on Thursday to take Jackson to church- no nursery- but he could sit in the congregation with us. He was wonderful! He never fussed and actually took a little nap until time for communion. He received his first blessing and it couldn't have been more fitting. The priest said something to the effect of, "Please bless this child to grow to be all that God has planned for him to be." I know that God has such a special plan for our little miracle and I cannot wait to watch him grow and fulfill God's wonderful plan!

Ready to Crawl!

I know Jackson wants me to give a huge thank you to his Aunt Jill who talked his mommy into giving him something to eat other than milk and baby food! He has now had crackers, ice cream, cheerios, cheese, a sweet pickle, and even a little banana pudding!
Crackers!

Banana!- I honestly think Jackson could live off of banana's!

Pickle!
