Gone Fishin'- June 28th, 2008

Jeff has been going crazy waiting to take Parker fishing for the first time! In April he bought Parker a Cars fishing pole and tackle box for his birthday and ever since then Parker has been wanting to go fishing! A couple of weekends ago we finally got the chance to go. We went to PARKER Canyon Lake! (I love that his first time fishing we went to the lake that has his name.) Josh, Rosie, Aiden, and Ethan went with us. This program won't let me arrange the pictures the way I'd like, so they're a little out of order. Sorry there's so many. I just couldn't help but put a lot of them on here. The tenth picture is a picture of Jeff trying to teach Parker how to pee in the woods! It didn't work, but it was worth the try. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting and a bird had made a nest in there and it flew at our heads when we went in there!

If you click on the pictures individually you can see the pictures in full size. It's hard to see the fish at the end of lines unless the pictures are blown up. Everyone caught fish, but they were all really small! Parker had a blast and couldn't stop talking about it! Sometime when Pop Pop is home we're talking about renting a boat so we can all go out on the lake!

Parker playing slot cars w/ Daddy- June 22, 2008

Parker behaved much better today, so as a special treat he got to stay up a little later and play slot cars with Daddy.

Enjoying the nice weather! - Sunday June 22, 2008

It was such a nice day today! Parker got to go out and play in his pool! I think he was going crazy being in the house and for once it wasn't too hot to be outside for more than just a couple of minutes!

I bought these neat little kits to plant strawberries and tomatoes and I thought Parker would really enjoy helping me plant them. All I could get him to do was put the water in the bucket. He refused to put his hands in and mix the soil! I thought he would have fun getting dirty! I had to do the rest all by myself! I saved the tomato kit for another time and I'm hoping he'll want to do more with that one!

Jackson in the jumperoo! Sunday- June 22, 2008

I went to a few yard sales on Saturday and got some really good deals on stuff for Jackson! I wasn't planning on getting Jackson a jumperoo, but I got an outrageous deal on this! Way too good to pass up and it's in perfect condition. After I sanitized it and washed the seat I just couldn't wait to put him in it. I know he's still way too young for it, but I just wanted to see what he'd do! I love the last pic. Look at his little legs and feet dangling way off the ground! I also got him a walker, but when I put him in that to take pictures it didn't support him enough to let go of him and take the pic.!

Sunday- June 22, 2008

Jackson has really been smiling a lot lately, but as soon as we get the camera he stops! He's such a stinker! Here are a few pics. from Sunday morning! Unfortunately he's not looking at the camera in most of them because he's looking at me. At least you can still see his smile and how cute he is!

One Month Well Baby Check Up

Jackson had his 1 month well baby appt. today! He's up to 11lbs. 9oz. (He gained 3lbs. 7 oz. since he was born!) He's 22 1/2 in long! I think they measured him wrong at the hospital. I think he was longer than 19 in. when he was born.

Jackson is 1 month old!

For the first year of Parker's life I took a picture of him every month in a onesie that said how old he was. I'm doing the same thing with Jackson. Here are his one month pictures! Technically I'm a week and 1 day late for his one month birthday, but oh well. Hopefully the rest of the months will be on time. I was going to post a picture of Parker in his one month onesie next to Jackson's but I forgot that I missed Parker's one month birthday and started it at 2 months!

Thank you Nana for the knitted blanket! Thank you Grandma for the monkey (I really think it looks like Jackson!) and the embroidered bib! Thank you Sharon for Eeyore and Pooh.
