No more paparrazi!

That is what Jackson is saying in the picture above :). So, of course the Razorbacks won the other day, Jackson was in his attire!

Mom and I made a trip to Nashville the other night to see Brian play at the world famous Tootsie's Orchid Lounge! It is only an hour and 45 minutes from here so the drive wasn't too bad. He is playing there tonight too, so grandma and grandpa stopped in to see him play on their way here. They should all 3 arrive here tonight around 1:30 a.m.
There were people dressed up in Nashville for "Superhero Sunday" they called it. They were nice and pretty funny! Here is mom with Super Simmons
Since it has been so cold lately, Jackson has been staying inside but I let him go out for a little while the other day.

Here is a good shot of his 2 teeth, the best shot I have so far anyway. If you click on the pic it will appear larger.


Jax is in such a fun age

That is all for now. Stay tuned for Thanksgiving pictures!

8 months and Playing Hard!

We have a little monkey that demands all of our attention around here!
Out front being a little Curious George

He naps 3 times a day. Once around 11:30, 3:30, and 6:30. Bedtime is between 9:45 and 10:30. we usually lay him down for one of his naps but the other 2 we like to snuggle with him.

He is already wearing his Christmas pajamas because we are afraid they may be too small by then. Hopefully not, they are 12 month

Chloe and Jackson love their play time, she does her part in entertaining him
The damage Jax has done to his crib with his 2 teeth
We (probably 75% Jeremy 25% me) have made lots of progress on the yard. Can you see Chloe hiding in all the brush we are clearing out? It is all gone now and the yard is much cleaner looking!
It was game day, and every game day that Jackson wears his Razorback clothes we win and when he doesn't we lose, so here he is representing the Hogs! It was nice out so I let him play around. as long as he has his pacifier in, he doesn't try to eat the leaves.
He is almost too heavy for his bouncy chair
At 8 months he is 22 pounds and 12 ounces (90th percentile) and 95th percentile on length but I will have to update on that later because I don't remember the exact number.

Hopefully we will get a paycheck next month! The army has Jeremy's pay all messed up, so we haven't been paid since October 1st. He had to make some people mad but I think it is finally taken care of and they should back-pay us on December 1st. Also, it is still looking like next October that we will be moving to Ft. Benning Georgia. Exciting! I can see where moving state to state can get addicting. Sounds crazy I know, but you never get bored that is for sure.

I am so excited about Thanksgiving next week. We are having some family here for the week and then watching the Arkansas vs. LSU game Friday. The high is 47 so I'm hoping to use the fireplace that day for the first time. Then December 3rd Dad gets here! He hasn't seen us since April, so Jackson has obviously changed a lot since then! After he heads back on the 6th we have a couple of weeks and we head to Arkansas to have at least 4 Christmases!

This Week/Grandma and Grandpa Visit

Just pitiful!
Today Chloe was standing next to his crib on the ottoman trying to get in bed with him once he woke up from his nap. I gave in and let her in with him since they are getting to be such great friends.
They enjoyed it!
Jack likes his Elmo house shoes! For the record, they are size 5-6 and he has a little growing room. He also has another tooth coming in on the bottom. 2 total!







Wishing they could go out back









We had a great time with grandma and grandpa last weekend. It went by way too fast. We drove up into Indiana and through Louisville just to sight see.
Jackson slept forever on the morning that grandma and grandpa were leaving. He was so relaxed and sleeping good! I think he was trying to postpone their leaving.
We were driving around Fort Knox and came upon these soldiers with their guns pointed at us!
Nap time
Sitting outside

He finally woke up and they had to go once they told him bye.

"Mama", crawling, and pulling up

Lumber Jack O Lantern!

It was a great day to be outside, so we bundled Jackson all up and went out back

Brian and Ashley came up on Halloween and stayed with us. It was a great visit!

Next weekend my grandparents are coming up. So excited!
