Wordless(ish) Wednesday

Couldn't choose just one!

Sick Baby

It's so hard to see your baby sick. And that's what Jackson was ALL weekend. He (and I) didn't sleep for more than a couple of hours on Friday night. He was so congested that he could only breathe through his mouth, but he NEEDS his binky! So he was frustrated and just couldn't get comfortable. Poor little guy :(

Which is why I was amazed on Saturday when he hardly slept at all (come on Jackson, Mommy needs her sleep!). He did fall asleep with daddy for about 20 minutes and managed a nap in his crib for about an hour. But come on, he couldn't have slept more than 3 hours the night before! I will say, though, for being sick and tired (no pun intended), he really was in pretty good spirits.

As, for Mommy and Daddy, thankfully he did sleep well on Saturday night. He woke up at 5am, but went back down until 9!!! I can't remember the last time he slept in until 9. It's funny though, because this weekend Matt and I had agreed that he could sleep in as late as he wanted on Saturday and I could do the same on Sunday. Funny how that worked, Matt got to sleep in both days!

I'm just glad Jackson seems to be feeling better. And, dare it say, neither one of us is feeling it.....

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Clause...... Oh wait, that's Jackson :) He fed himself yogurt this morning.

Yeah for Lazy Saturdays and College Football!

This is how Jackson and I spent our Saturday afternoon. Dad headed to Eugene to catch the game live, but Jackson and I decided watching it from the comfort of our living room sounded best. (Well, OK, Dad and I decided that was best after last week at Autzen, more on that later)

We got ourselves a few snacks, animal crackers for Jackson and chips and guac for Mom, and planted ourselves in front of the TV to watch our DUCKS! Well, as you can imagine, Jackson didn't really want to sit and watch the TV, which I have to say, I am ABSOLUTELY FINE with!! So we played a little catch, did a puzzle or two and I marveled at how much braver Jackson is getting with his walking, he walks from room to room now!

We took Jackson to his first live Duck game at Autzen last weekend and let's just say it didn't go quite as smoothly as I had envisioned! First of all, it was HOT, like 97 degrees and you have to add another ten degrees when we're down in our seats because there is not even a hint of a breeze down there. He wasn't too excited to just stand there strapped to Mom. So we headed to find some shade and get a snack. Once that was done, Jackson wanted to walk. Ok, I can handle walking. What I CANNOT handle is stopping every two steps to try to pick up a cigarette butt or some gooey hardness that has melted into the ground, YUCK!!

So we lasted until half-time and then we figured we should call it quits. Mom and Dad were worn out and so was Jackson! He was asleep by the time we made it back to the car. I'm really glad we took him though, it was a good experience for all of us. And even though it's only been a week, I'm already thinking, if the conditions were different, maybe we could try taking him again........

Wordless(ish) Wednesday

OK, I have to admit, I see a pattern developing here....There's a lot of wordless(ish) Wednesday going on and not much more! So my goal this week will be to post at least one other.

But for now, a couple of cuties. Jackson IDOLIZES his cousin Griffin :)

Hard to believe this was my little Duck fan last year.....Pictures of his first LIVE Duck game to come next week!!

Jackson's Big ONE

I thought I would share some pictures from Jackson's birthday. (He's kept me so busy with all this walking business.....) He had such a good weekend and we're so grateful for wonderful family and friends! Thank you all for making this day, and really every day, so special for our little man! We have had the BEST year with this little guy and sharing with you all makes it that much sweeter :)
