Getting around

While we're staying at my parent's house Jackson has made quick work of 

getting familiar with the territory.

He can hear the fridge and dishwasher open from any room in the house.

He now knows how to go up and down stairs (supervised).

He loves to unpack our "drawers".

Is there really any other way to get around this chair?

And he got down the small hole in the fireplace guard.

We love this crazy baby!

Park Days

Have you seen a cuter baby, ever?

Probably not.

We spend a lot of time outside lately and it's wonderful.

Jackson cries every time we go back inside.

Dental Hygine

We take oral health very seriously.

Shopping cart behavior

No matter what I do Jackson will NOT face the correct way in the shopping cart.

It's totally adorable and frustrating.

General Conference

I found this little gem from Conference last weekend.

He took listening very seriously.

Easter party

We went to a super cute Easter party this weekend. 

They had fun games and delicious food.

Jackson took a lot of convincing to "hunt" for an egg.

But eventually he spotted it!

And he was pretty happy with himself.

How do you like his new shades?

(I had to get the toddler size to fit his huge head.)

Happy TEN months!

Sadly we packed the recliner and Sophie so his picture doesn't have 

either of those. So much for consistency!

Don't you love this progression?

He's so helpful and obedient.

New (temporary) digs.

Jackson has loved more space to roam around.

I have been less enthusiastic about more places to clean.

He also loves himself.

And he can now pull himself up to standing.

We Moved!

So we moved last weekend. We've LOVED living in Palo Alto but it was time to 

find a bigger place and a better commute for Scott.

I don't have any other pictures but here are 2 very full trucks.

Rain soaked, sweaty, and tired of moving boxes.

Our storage shed for the next few weeks.

Good bye 308 Kipling.

We loved you!

A Mover and a Shaker

Last week while I packed up the apartment to move Jackson was a huge help.

Even without pants he got things done!

He reorganized our shoes.

Helped sort wheat to grind.

Sorted out cords under the TV.

Since he felt like a huge help he even insisted on sleeping in our bed.

He monitored the fridge.

And pulled out the outlet protectors.

And when I read he tried to rip the pages.

Thanks for all your help last week Jackson!

Dirty Little Monster

He may be handsome

but he's also a dirt magnet!

After 20 minutes of crawling he was filthy!

(Can't wait to move and have carpet where the dirt 

stays in the carpet instead of getting on the baby.)
