Jackson's 41 Week Pictures!

Jackson is 41 weeks old and doing great. He's walking all around, even getting back up from the floor if he falls down. He used to have to crawl over to something to pull himself back up, but now he's able to get back up from the floor. With him being able to do this, there's not much crawling going on anymore. 

He just got his 6th tooth in this week. He's had 3 on the bottom for a while, but recently got another bottom tooth and he also got his 2 top front teeth within the last week or so.

He's been jabbering a lot lately, which is really cute. He mostly says dada, but he walks around and jabbers all the time now. 

His sleep patterns are a little off right now because of teething. I think he's trying to get the teeth on either side of his top front teeth as well. I really hope after those come in, he gets a little break. Poor baby. :-(

Otherwise, he's doing great!

Embrace the Camera

Linking up with Emily at The Anderson Crew

Embrace the Camera is where you'll take a picture of YOU with your kids, spouse, friends, etc. The point of embrace the camera is to get in front of the camera and to document a bit of yourself.

My husband was out of town last night on business, so Jackson and I spent the evening together, just the 2 of us! He's teething some, so he was a little crabby at first, but after a bottle and some Advil, he seemed to feel much better. I was able to get him to sit with me for a few seconds, just long enough to snap a few pictures, before he was back up and playing again. ☺ Now that he's walking, he's constantly on the move.

Now its your turn!

Wordless Wednesday

I thought this would be a great "Wordless Wednesday" picture. Jackson loves to look out of our glass screen door. ☺

That same day, I got this really cute picture of him smiling so sweet.

I hope you're having a great Wednesday.

Jackson's First Holidays

I made a point to take a picture of Jackson in a special bib, shirt or outfit for all of his first holidays. Now that there aren't anymore big holidays before his birthday, I decided to put a little collage together of all of his first holidays. 

Jackson's 9 Month Pictures

Here are just a few of Jackson's 9 month pictures that I took over the weekend. I also took a few of my nephews, Mason and Landon as well. Mason is 9 months old too, so my sister wanted me to take a few of him. They turned out pretty good, considering it was a million degrees outside, even at 8:00 p.m. and Jackson didn't want to cooperate at all. I'll have to do a separate post sometime with some outtakes of him. Unfortunately, he takes after his dad when it comes to taking pictures. LOL.

Here are some of my nephew Mason.

Having a little fun with editing.

And some of my nephew Landon.

And last but not least, one of all three of them. We always try to get one of all 3 of them for my mom.

Favorite Photo Friday

I thought I'd share some of my favorite Instagram photos from this week. Some were taken with my DSLR and some with my cell phone camera. 

Jackson's chubby little Flinstone feet. :-)

This was one of my photo a day pictures for this month. We had to take a picture of the "outside" and I got this pretty picture with the sun rays shining in on this building downtown St. Louis. I just really liked the colors and the rays of sunshine.

Jackson splashing in the bathtub.

Jackson, waiting for Daddy to come back home.

Bathtime again! He loves bathtime.

Jackson with his Mickey Mouse. I think he looks so much like his Daddy in this picture. :-)

I hope you all have a great weekend! TGIF!

Here are a few more pictures of Jackson and I from our trip to the Splash Pad on Monday. He was not happy to be stopping for pictures when he really wanted to be down playing. He didn't cry, but he didn't want to look at the camera either. Ha. There were so many other, way more interesting things that he wanted to be looking at. So, though he's not smiling in any of these pictures, we did have a great time that day. ☺
