Back By "Popular Demand"?

So, I've been informed that people (people?) have asked when I would resume illustrious blogging career. It's a valid question, really. I got a new computer recently that I need to use. I mean, it makes sense. So, I guess I just posted, though i'm sure it's not what mom had in mind.

I will get around to making a legitimate entry very soon. I promise. This weekend at the latest. After all there is a lot to tell. Baby is crawling around like a Komodo Dragon, eating everything in sight and continuing to develop a larger than life personality - and giving us a glimpse of the handful he's going to be which i guess is payback.

Anyway, watch this space and in the meantime here is a picture from Christmas of my family (minus the head of the household, Stewie)...

Jackson Loves His Dog - And Chewing on Things

We got to spend today with Jackson and were reminded that he doesn't nap. I feel for the day care folks and Susan who get to watch him regularly. He's exhausting and by about 5p he's over tired and pissed off so he just starts crying. At least he sleeps through the night! Without that ..ugh...don't want to even think of it.

Jackson was in a good mood this evening after eating some sweet potatoes so we decided to let the boys play together while the camera ran. This kid has a great personality. He's pissed off sometimes but mostly he's smiling and laughing, which in turn makes Ally and I smile and laugh. He's a great baby and we are truly blessed...but he's starting to crawl.

Enjoy!

Mall Santa is Creepy

Holiday Greetings to the 4 of you who read this blog...

So, not only is the mall Santa a little creepy (IMHO) but i believe it would be behoove everyone if he sanitized his hands after every child. How many germs must this man come into contact with in a given day? Gross. BAH HUMBUG!

Ok, with that all out of my system Ally and I are happy to present Jack's first pictures with Santa. He smiles ALL THE TIME at home but we had a lot of trouble getting him to smiles for Santa. Without further ado our beautiful child and creepy, germy mall Santa...

Monday

Oh, hello. Back to the grind after a nice relaxing weekend with family, food and fun. To help kick the week of here's another video of the little man. Have a great week.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope all had an enjoyable and happy Thanksgiving.

We are very very thankful for our little one, Jackson James. He has brought so much joy to our life in the 5 months (to the day) since he was born. We are very blessed to have such a wonderful little guy!

Below is a video from today. He is trying to crawl but still can't put it all together. He also screams a lot. Stewie still doesn't care for him...Also, we had some lighting issues.

Happy Thanksgiving!



PS: Ally said watching this video is like watching paint dry...consider yourself warned.

More of the JJ Videos

We had a big "dog weekend".  We babysat our neighbors dog, got to play with Ally's folks dog Max and of course there is the princess himself Stewie.  JJ LOVES dogs.  Dogs love JJ too...except for Stewie.  Stewie puts up with JJ but does not really care for him.  He's still having issues "sharing" Ally and I will JJ.  

Anyway, we took some video of JJ playing with Coco, the aforementioned neighbor's dog.  Enjoy.  

JJ Videos

Actually, I thought posting some new videos of JJ would be easier than doing a full entry.  Not so much.  Took much longer.  Funny how things work out.

Below are two new videos featuring JJ.  He is doing many more things these days including "Eating" oatmeal (some of it gets eaten) and "Protesting": showing us he's not interested in what we are selling.  

He is also doing his best to try to crawl.  He's got the idea but can't put it all together.  I will try to capture that on video but it's like an elusive creature in the wild: you never know when your going to see it but you know you always have to be ready.  Not sure where I was going there...

Without further ado...

"Eating"

"Protesting"
