Valentine's Day

Today my husband made me feel very special, even though it is Valentine's Day and that what husbands are supposed to do, i suppose.  We made dinner together- chicken Parmesan and fresh green beans-it was delicious. It was nice just to spend time with him and Jackson and have a nice dinner all together.  Jackson was covered in strawberries, bananas and spaghetti sauce-he is so much fun. Unfortunately, family dinners rarely happen anymore, but after tonight that is definitely something we are going to do more often.  I also made chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. yummy.

Chris surprised me with a gift certificate for a Caribbean spa mani and pedi

11 months

Jackson, you are 11 months now!! This year has flown by I can't believe we are planning your birthday already! You are still gowing, exporing, and changing everyday! 

You have the cutest expressions and a great big smile. You like to show off those 4 teeth.

You love the keys...somehow you always know exactly where they are and you have to have them.

We had some great weather last week before the snow storm so you got to play outside. You liked riding on your tractor and crawl all around exploring the back yard.

Jackson at 11 months you:

~ are full of giggles and laughs, especially when we tickle you

~ almost have 5 teeth

~ are becoming a pickier eater, and would prefer to feed yourself

~ are talking all the time, saying da da, ma ma, nana, uh-oh, woof woof

~ you can have quite the little temper if you don't get your way

~ love to stand and cruise along furniture, you have even taken a couple of steps on your own

~ love to play with your ball and roll it and chase it all over the house

~ dance anytime you hear music

~ still love to take baths, blow bubbles in the bath water, and throw your toys out and say uh-oh

~ graduated to the big boy car seat

You continue to bring us joy everyday and we are so thankful to have such a wonderful little boy!
