Twins?

Everyone keeps saying how much Preston looks like Jackson did when he was a newborn. I was looking at pictures of Jackson when he was a baby and comparing the two. Twins? You decide...

Jackson (2-3 months old)

Preston (3-4 months old)

Jackson (2-3 months old)

Preston (3-4 months old)

Preston also had his 4 month appointment this week. He is in the 90th percentile for his height but only the 25th for his weight!

Ruidoso

For Labor Day, we met Janet and Troy in Ruidoso. Here are some highlights from our trip.

Fishing for change in his pocket to throw in the fountain.


Janet bought Jackson his first Thomas the Train set...

He LOVES it!

Ready for the football game.

Look who's sitting up on his own!

Jackson got his first cowboy hat and loved to watch "The Horsies."

Jackson is for Sale

Lately, Jackson has been somewhat of a handful. Today, our nanny told me he's been saying "attention!" when he needs attention. And twice, awhile after we've put him to bed, we've caught him with food from the pantry downstairs. One night he was standing outside our bedroom door with a bag of Hershey's Kisses. The next night, Scott caught him near the pantry with a box of Pop Tarts. As Marva would say, he's a midnight food bandit!

On Tuesday night, Jackson came running to me saying, "Mess!" He had marker on his arms and legs. He took me to the dining room and had colored a 2' x 1 1/2' spot on the carpet with one of those big permanent markers. I don't think I've ever been so mad at him in his life! He went straight to bed and wasn't able to come out until morning. Wednesday night, he took the ball point pen off of the island in the kitchen and colored our kitchen table. I can't get that out either. Any ideas?

Meanwhile, Preston is still a sweet little boy! We haven't ruined him yet!

Jackson & Cameron & Preston

Jackson had his BFF Cameron over recently and they played while Nicole and I caught up. Nicole is pregnant again and this time she's having a girl! Every time Cameron saw the baby he would get really upset. Nicole is going to have her hands full like me!

Superman!!!

Check out Jackson playing Superman on his swing set! (Watch his legs)

Nonny & Meemo Visit

My mom (Nonny) and my grandmother (Meemo) came to visit for a few days last Thursday and they left today. We spent a lot of time at the pool and just lounging around in the backyard. The boys and I already miss them!

Jackson's last tumbling class. He didn't want me to do it with him, he wanted Nonny.

An Amusing Sunday

On Sunday, we went to my company's Summer Event at Cliff's Amusement Park. Preston, Daddy and Tom just hung out while Jen and I took Jackson on all the rides! He's a daredevil! Here are some pictures from the adventure.
