Colts Game

Sunday Mark and I attended the Colts Vs. Packer game. It was a blast. We sat 11 rows behind the Colts. That was way cool! I would loved the game more if the Colts would have won.

Baby Gate

Last night Mark and I put up the baby gate. Jackson is not thrilled about it, however mommy and daddy are happy!! Here are some pictures of Jackson and the gate.

Another Video

Mark wanted me to put another video of Jackson crawling on the blog, so here it is.

Look Who's Crawling

Yesterday Jackson crawled a little but we didn't think much of it. Today I picked up Jackson from daycare and Miss Bert told us that Jackson was crawling all over the place. Tonight I was able to get it on video. I hope you enjoy!!

Fall Bike Ride

Weather was absolutely beautiful today so we decide to take advantage of the weather and take family bike ride. We rode around the area for 2.5 hours. We stopped at the local park and played with Jackson. We took pictures of the fall colors. We had such a great time. Jackson really enjoyed being outside. Here are some pictures of our outing!

First Day Care Pictures

Daycare took pictures on October 1st, 2008. We just got them back on Friday and I thought I would share Jackson's. I can't believe how great they turned out!!! Isn't he cute???

My Mother Style

My cousin had on her blog what her mother style is so I thought I would take the quiz to see what I am. I am ESTJ -- The "How-To" Mother I the the below really describes me.

Your type is: estj —The “How-To” Mother
“We’re the mothers you like to carpool with. Not only are we on time, we organize the driving schedule for everyone.”
Organized and comfortable being in charge, the ESTJ mother knows “how to” get things done, make things happen, and accomplish much on behalf of her children. Whether she is encouraging them to get involved in organized activities or talking with them about their personal concerns, children of the ESTJ mother learn “how to” succeed in life.
Upbeat and matter-of-fact, the ESTJ mother is intent on her children having the best. She puts her skills and talents to work to this end, from planning trips that supplement their studies to raising funds for new playground equipment. She is happiest when her efforts produce concrete results — children who try out for teams, participate in academic competitions, or are leaders among their peers.
The ESTJ mother runs a tight household. She is apt to have predictable expectations, consistent routines, standard procedures, and well-defined boundaries, all of which help her children feel protected and secure.

Jackson and Sierra

Sunday Night we went over to our friends Jessica and Jeff's house for dinner. Sierra is 1 month older than Jackson. She is so cute. I just had to take pictures of Sierra and Jackson playing.

LIke Father Like Son

I thought this was to cute to pass up!!!!

6 Months Old

Jackson is 6 months old!!! I can not believe how fast time has flown. It seems like just yesterday he was born. Today he went for his 6 month check up. He weighs 17 lbs 1 oz and is 27 inches long. The doctor said Jackson is growing perfectly. Jackson showed off for Dr. Riddlehoover. He had to show her how he can roll over and how he is pushing up on his hands and knees. She told us that he is developing great. Not only did Jackson got an ataboy, mommy did to for still breastfeeding while working full time. That was what I needed to keep going.

Doctor told us to introduce Jackson to veggies and fruits. Tonight for dinner is sweet potatoes and oatmeal. I made baby food for Jackson the other day so we are already to go. I hope Jackson is just as excited as Mark and I are. I have a feeling Jackson could care less - HAHA. I will try to take a few pictures of Jackson tonight.

Here are a few pictures of Jackson. I took them this today. Jackson is so cute!!!

We survived!!

Well Jackson and I made it without Mark. Let me tell you Jackson and I were sooooo happy to see Mark last Friday night. Jackson and I only had 1 melt down when we were by our self. I think that is awesome if I do say so myself. I could tell that Jackson noticed Mark being gone. He was just different, he won't take naps at daycare, which meant long nights at home because he was so tired and fussy. :( But over all it was fine!!!

I'm glad Mark doesn't have anymore business trips planned this year. :)
