A Night in with the Girls

Jackson had a night in with the ladies last night, we got to see our Grandma Ann and aunt Heather while the boys went to go watch the KU game at Adam's uncle's house. We had lot's of fun watching our Jayhawks eat some spiders last night :) ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU!

Happy, Healthy, Beautiful Baby!

We had our 6 month  check up today, Jackson is growing like a weed! He's 25.75 inches tall, head circumference is 45.5cm, and his weight is 16lbs 2oz. We've been a little low on our weight because we've been sick for the last week or two and Jackson's acid reflux has been pretty bad lately so eating has been quite the challenge. 

Jackson can almost sit up on his own, and is getting very anxious to crawl! I'd say give it a few more weeks and Adam and I are going to have a little wiggle worm on our hands :) The doctor gave us the OK to try some new foods out like scrambled eggs, peanut butter and yogurt so we are very eager to get that started. Here are some more pictures in our favorite pajamas! There will be plenty more to come, enjoy!

Such a happy baby

So big!

We've almost got the tripod down :)

Zoo

This weekend we went to go visit my family in St. Louis and went to the St. Louis Zoo. Jackson was amazed by all the animals, his favorite so far was the penguins by far! Here are a few pictures of our day, enjoy!

The start of our day!

They were giving quite the show!

We gave it our all...

Stylish Blogger

I received a "stylish blogger" award. It's an award that bloggers pass around to each other to show off some pretty cool blogs.

I got my award from my friend Caitlin, thank you Caitlin! You can read about her beautiful family here. I've been meaning to update the blog for what seems to be the last eternity but my computer was out of commission for two weeks until it magically turned on and started working last night (yay!). So here we go...

Here are the rules:

1. thank and link back to the person who awarded you
2. share 7 things about yourself
3. pass award on to bloggers you think are fantastic
4. contact those bloggers and tell them about the award

7 things about myself...wow, OK here I got

1) The day Jackson was born was the happiest day of my life. I stop and think sometimes what my life would be like, and I honestly cannot imagine life without him. I love him more than words will ever begin to express.

2) I LOVE to read but unfortunately ever since becoming a full time working mommy, I have neglected my reading :( It is the one thing I miss about being pregnant because I would love to come home from work and read every night. I've attempted to start reading little by little each night before bed, but it is very challenging...

3) I'm hoping to open my own business in the next few years flipping houses, it's a secret passion of mine.

4) Adam and I met at Stone Creek restaurant while living in Lawrence. I had the biggest crush on him for months before he asked me out :)

5) I am probably the biggest animal lover you will ever meet. If it were up to me, I would live on a farm where I could have as many animals as I wanted to. I am not allowed in any kind of animal shelter or else I would adopt every animal that is in there (and I cry every time). I have two cats (Dexter and Bo) and no I am not the crazy cat lady (you know who you are who think it)

6) I grew up in Missouri but I am 100% a KU fan! I looooooove my Jayhakws! ROCK CHALK!`

7) I have the greatest friends and family in the world! Thank you all for following our blog! Hope you enjoy!

Now it's my turn to pass it along. Here are a few blogs that I think are stylish :)
