The Easter Bunny

We had a wonderful weekend, which I will post about later.  I couldn't resist posting this adorable picture of Jackson with the Easter Bunny!  While I hosted a shower, Mimi and Papa were sweet enough to take little man to visit this creepy creature.  J-man did great.  Check out those chunky little legs!

Drum Roll Please...

At 10 months, one day, Jackson is on the move!  Ladies and gentlemen...he is crawling!  Watch out!

10 Months

10 Months!  Whew!  Our little chunky monkey is 10 months old.  I can't believe I have to start planning a birthday party!

Jackson has such a fun personality.  He loves giving kisses and high fives.  Now that he is on the move, his curiosity has soared.  I'm somewhat thankful he isn't crawling yet, or we would be in major trouble. :)  We are trying new finger foods everyday.  The kid loves tortillas, so I foresee many Mexican nights in the Deahl household!  Other things we've tried are eggs, cheese shreds, carrots, broccoli, avocado, bananas, grapes and all sorts of other fun things!  He's growing up so fast.  He drinks water, though not much, out of the sippy cup at meals times.

Jackson loves to stand, assisted of course.  We even catch him letting go of his play table to test his balance.  He'll take a step or two, but no real cruising yet.  As you know from the last post, Jackson has become very active just in the past few days.  Take a look at how this photo session went.

Lovin' this Weather!

After such a gloomy and stormy week, we finally had some beautiful weather for the weekend!  It has been a long week.  Our little one was sick with a stomach virus Wednesday night and it turns out he is still battling an ear infection.  Tubes here we come!  Unfortunately, the stomach virus passed to Mommy, so Friday wasn't the best start to the weekend.  

Jackson is quite the mover these days.  No, he isn't crawling yet, but he has become quite innovative in getting himself across a room.  He uses a combination of rolling, sitting, scooting, and pulling.  He has learned to push himself to a sitting position from his stomach and that has opened up a new world for him.  It has gotten to be quite a challenge in the bath tub :)  Jackson thinks he can climb the walls of the bathtub and it makes Mommy a little nervous even though I'm always there beside him.  Here are a few recent pictures.  There are a lot of them! I realized it has been a while since there was a proper update.

Pulling up

Does this look like the face of a sick little one?
