18 mths!

My oh my! My sweet pea is a whole year and a half  old!! He's growing by leaps and bounds! He still weighs 23 lbs and 2 ozs and is 32.5 inches tall. Growing out of a size 6 shoe (which is a whole big dilemma for me!) still wears size 18 mth shirts and 12 mth shorts and a size 4 diaper.

He loves milk and bananas! Every morning on the way to his sitter's house, he eats a banana and has his milk. He loves cooked carrots, strawberries, green grapes, watermelon, green beans and any type I regular bean. His favorite dinner is spaghetti!

New things he's doing this month: hopping, saying bubbles, ball, bow, and I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting! He's slowly starting to like the water.

Goes to bed at 8ish and is awake by 6:15. He generally takes one nap and that's from 12:30-2:30. He goes to his sitter at least 4 days a week now and Mema usually keeps him one day a week. 

4th of July!

We had a great 4 day weekend!!

Friday afternoon, Haylei and I met my mom for pedicures! We had a good time and Haylei talked our ears right off! As soon as we got back from there, Jackson had just woke up, so we got changed into bathing suits and headed off to my brother’s house for a cookout, swimming and fireworks!

The kids all enjoyed swimming…Jackson wasn’t a fan of the pool, it was too chilly for him! But…he did climb up the ladder to the slide, so my brother finished helping him up…I stood at the bottom and down came Jackson, he slid down, no life jacket, by himself!!! I couldn’t see him well, because the sun was right in my eyes, but as soon as he hit the water, I scooped him right up. He did it a second time. Crazy boy!!

I then got some baby holding time in. Baby Leyo, my 4 week old great nephew. J

Saturday, we had lots of playing outside…we played in the sand and water and on the big fort, where Jackson also climbed the ladder on that and slid down the big slide. No fear I tell you. Then P and A came over with Andrew and they all played for quite a while. We finished by eating Mexican food!

I had taken the day off on Monday, so the kids and I went up to my job, to let the girls see Jackson. Afterwards, it was still a little early in the day, so we went to Chick-Fil-A for an early lunch and to hopefully let them play in the play area. It worked out wonderfully! Jackson was the best he’s ever been in a resteraunt! He even got to go through the big structure once!!
