A BIG Day!

Michael and I have been working with Jackson on waving bye to people for several weeks. The little booger was holding out on us! Jackson and I went to Belk Saturday and the first person he waved bye to was the sales clerk! He doesn't just wave his hand - it's his entire arm. He has constantly been waving when we say bye bye.

This next thing he did while we were playing later on in the day was clap. We "play" patty cake and just clap in general all of the time so when he sat up from getting his diaper changed he decided it was time to clap for me! He thought he would clap while he was eating his dinner last night! He was so funny eating and clapping.

10 Months Old

Here are several pictures of Jackson from Friday. I can't believe he is already 10 months old!

Look Daddy!

Jackson started "pointing" at random things this past week. Here he was showing Michael the moon!

All tuckered out

The little fellow was pooped by the time we got him in from playing in the sand and in the pool. Too bad it wasn't a long nap!

My First Myrtle Beach T-Shirt

What child could leave the beach without a t-shirt? Jackson's grandparents got this cute shirt for him!

Fun in the pool

After we played in the sand we headed for the pool!













Jackson had fun splashing around in the kiddie pool!














Jackson liked all of the attention on him while he was in the pool. He would splash and squeal and then look to see if we were watching. While we were there, he started doing an extremely cheesy grin. I wasn't able to catch it on camera but hopefully I will get it soon!

Fun in the sand

Jackson had fun crawling around in the sand. He still wasn't sure about it getting on his hands and knees!
Daddy took him back in the ocean!
Starting to play a little!

The Pool

Jackson was getting ready to jump into the pool!

















Here he is playing with the little waterfall!





Daddy was teaching Jackson how to kick his legs!

Where is Jackson?

Jackson said gurgle gurgle gurgle... He really does not mind going under, I promise Mom!

Playing in the sand

Jackson didn't like the sand too much today. He played just a few minutes and then decided to rub his eyes. Needless to say, Jackson and I didn't spend too much time at the ocean today! We will try again Monday - AFTER his morning nap!

Off to the Beach

Here are a couple of pictures from the first day at the beach! Jackson tipped toed right to the water and was soaked by the time went walked back to the house!















The big wave got him!











"Footprints" in the sand. Poor little boy walked on his toes the entire time!






This is Jackson watching the ocean. He really like the wind blowing his little bit of hair!

Austyn and Jackson

She wanted to show Jackson something outside!







































Check out Austyn's chunky legs! (Sorry Kayce - I HAD to let everyone see how cute she is!!)

Our Little Cowboy

Jackson loved the rodeo Saturday night. He enjoyed seeing all of the people and he really liked watching the horses.

Here's our little cowboy on his first pony ride! He whimpered at first but then he was amazed. Don't worry Mom- that's me holding on to him.










Here is the pony! Isn't he cute?

Playdate with Austyn

Jackson and Austyn had so much fun playing Saturday! We got lots of cute pictures so it was hard to choose a couple to post.

They played with Jackson's new toy. Both enjoyed "turning" the page.
We could not help but to laugh at this! It took all Austyn had but she managed to push Jackson around on his school bus! It amazed them to play at the front door. I thought this was such a sweet picture.
Austyn even got Jackson's truck for him to play with. I think she is going to be a little "mommy" to him although she is only 6 weeks older!

Nine Months Old

I can't believe Jackson is 9 months old! Here are a couple of pictures of him playing with his new toy. This one was taken right after he stood up and gave it a look.

He played and played. He hit every button and pulled every lever!

And of course he tried to eat part he could get his mouth on!
