Day 151- it's so HOT (I love it!)

I'm so loving this weather and cannot wait until summer. 6 more days with kids- 8 more days total! After Jackson's night from Hell with teething last night, I hated to wake him this morning (and I hated to get up!) I did get a couple of pictures of him in his wool shorties. I LOVE them. For wool they were pretty cheap and they make fabulous PJs that he can wear every night. I have one more pair on the way so that I can rotate the shorties throughout the summer as I wash and lanolize them.

He came home and took a great nap, I had to wake him up then too. Tomorrow his 1 year old friend will be at Ms. Brenda's so I know he won't nap much and will be sleepy then too. Since his teething is so bad right now, he's not drinking much milk- but man is he eating. For dinner he had some veggies, an entire tilapia fillet, and 2 big pieces of watermelon. It was straight from the fridge and must have been heaven on his gums b/c he did not want to put it down.

After that he was a drooly, sticky mess- but a cute and happy one at that. He went down easy and has been asleep for an hour. He didn't drink much so I'm sure I'll be up around 2 to feed him, but if that's it- I can handle it.

Here are my favorite pictures from today:

Sleeping baby :)

showing off his big muscles that pull all toys and apparatuses to him so he doesn't have to crawl

sticky, drooly mess

Happy kid- best thing about this diaper= above the train it says "chew chew" totally made for Jackson and why I got it for $5 (but hey- it works!)

yeah- he dragged that whole toy to him... someday he'll realize it's easier for him to move himself instead of the entire room

Day 150- happy Memorial Day

It's so fun to bang things on my head?

must taste everything (yes teething monster is arriving)

a little more head banging

Why crawl when I can reach and drag everything to me?

"swimming" in his pool

playing with toys while we plant the garden

it makes noise- how awesome

what else is in my basket?

look at that drool- it's been 15 minutes sans bib

I want the camera mom

first strawberry of the season- now you know I love him

big bite

not quite what he expected

mom- it's sour! but he still asked for more

this is late b/c he screamed after our walk until 10:00 b/c of teething- finally the orajel put him to sleep :)

Day 149- rough start, good end

I'm starting to see some major teething signs again. Poor Jackson looks like a salivating Saint Bernard. He started out miserable, but a teething strip and a banana came to the rescue. Russell was over at a friends helping clear trees from the storm, so Jackson and I had the day to play. He played in his pool a little. Then we went over and had dinner with some family friends. Jackson loved their dog (maybe even more than ours!) and was in a great mood.

Good morning sunshine

thank goodness for that thumb

apparently giving yourself a bloody nose is s0 funny he had to do it 2 days in a row- yeah my kid's a winner

Just chillin' with his bottle

Just got out of the pool- he's too cool for his hat, so now he has sunscreen hair

showing off his cool 'do

mmmm Joe's dinner looks tasty- can't wait until I can walk and steal it from him

Day 148- bloody mess

We had a pretty good day today. Jackson had a great time at Katie's bridal shower, he and I got an afternoon nap, and then we went and got plants to start our garden tomorrow.

Enjoying his morning nap in the greenline diaper that I won

His first lollipop (don't worry- it's organic fruit and more like a gummy)

Yum

He gave himself a bloody nose- he inherited this from me, poor kid

Goofy kid

So proud of himself (and yes he's teething, but he tears off all his bibs so he just has a permanently wet shirt)

Day 147- 3 day weekend :)

Loves his new diapers :)

And his presents from his August mom and baby friends

Trying to find some love for this beautiful winter hat mom won him

Hanging out with Dad enjoying the nice weather

I'm so glad his favorite toy is his foot, I hope he doesn't lose it!

Day 146- tastes of summer

While I don't have a lot of pictures from tonight, it was a very productive night. I got grocery shopping done, the lawn mowed, dinner made, blog caught up. After this I'm going to do the diapers and get Jackson packed up for tomorrow. Tonight Jackson got his first big boy piece of watermelon and did great! He was pretty sleepy b/c he skipped his evening nap, but he ate 2 pieces and some crab.
