5 Months Old!

Today, our little man is 5 months old! We can't believe how big he is!

5 month old cutie! Aren't I handsome in my button down and sweater vest from my Nana?!

I sure love my Daddy!

But I also love staring at ceiling fans!

I love playing with my sissy...

...even though I think she's crazy!

• He loves to eat!
• He entertains himself at times simply by gurgling and blowing raspberries!
• He loves playing with his stuffed animals.
• He thinks rolling over is the coolest!
• He enjoys being read to...and he also enjoys trying to put the book in his mouth!
• He is fascinated by watches.
• He loves playing with his feet, and is so close to getting them in his mouth!
• He adores watching football with Daddy.
• He loves pulling Mommy's hair.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving yesterday with Bryan's family here to join us! And I think I enjoyed it even more because it was Jackson's first Thanksgiving!

Jackson hanging out in his Thanksgiving onesie from my dad! Jack still in the onesie, but now showing off his huge thighs as well!

Sarah helping me make a pumpkin cream pie...it was so yummy!

The kiddos before we ate, (I don't know why Jack can't smile once the camera appears!)

While we feasted on ham and turkey, Jack enjoyed some Thanksgiving staples of his own--sweet potatoes and green beans. (He also had oatmeal and bananas to round out the meal, but I don't know who eats that at their holiday dinner!)

After eating, Jackson was pooped, so he had a nice nap with Grand Nana.

Rollin' Over

Yesterday afternoon, Daddy and Jackson were on the floor enjoying a football game, when Jack decided to roll over! He's getting to be such a big boy!!

Look what I can do!

Thanksgiving Play

Today, Jackson and I attended a play put on by Sarah's class!

Jackson thought his sister's performance was riveting! Out of about 12 pictures, this one turned out the best! Our star after the show--complete with a pilgrim hat she made and her jammies, (they got to wear them today for doing so well on their reading!). Last week, we disguised this turkey for a project using one of Sarah's baby doll bonnets and an old diaper of Jack's!

Doctor Visit

This morning was Jackson's 4 month check-up! Luckily, Bryan was post-call, (and got even more sleep at the work last night than I did), so he went with me! Jack has gained three whole pounds--all of which went to his thighs!--and grown three inches in the last two months!!

Hangin' out with Daddy while waiting for the doctor!

Notice all the drool on Daddy's shirt! Just talkin' away! Although I'm not smiling, look at how handsome I am in my jeans!

Pajamas!

Two cuties in their jammies!

Food

For the past few weeks, Jackson has been eating lots of food! He really doesn't care for the rice cereal that much, but he loves sweet potatoes, pears, and green beans! We tried peaches for the first time this morning, but he kept flaring his nostrils and scowling after each bite...so, we'll try those again tomorrow!

Yum!

Awards Ceremony

This morning, Jackson and I attended Sarah's awards ceremony!

Sarah received awards for A Honor Roll, great citizenship, her advanced reading points, and never being tardy! Sarah was so happy her little brother came! And I was so happy that he was so well behaved!

Trick or Treat!

Sarah Bear loves Halloween! But then again, what's not to love about dressing up and candy?! This year, she was Little Red Riding Hood, and she was adorable!

Sarah and Jackson!

I love the look he's giving her--my sister is crazy! My dad came down to visit this weekend, which was perfect since Bryan was on call Halloween night. What a goober! Sarah picking out candy from our neighbors!

Jackson had the cutest little Frankenstein onesie from my dad. It said "Daddy's Little Monster."
