Jackson is 10 months old!

Well Jacks is now 10 months old and walking. He is not up running around but he is taking a couple of steps away from the couch. And there have been lots of falls. I guess I need to start planning the BIG 1st birthday party because it will be here so soon. I cannot believe it has been 10 months!!!!!

He loves to push his little blue car his Uncle Justin got him for Christmas. He also still loves shoes. He wants to put all of them in his mouth. But this time daddy put his feet and legs in his boots.

He is also opening every cabinet in our house. He is finding things we forgot we had, like these old 3-D movie glasses. He is also a fan of the old VHS tapes we have. I don't know why we keep them we don't even own a VHS player!

I started Weight Watchers at work 2 weeks ago. I kind of stopped going after Thanksgiving. But I lost 1 lb in a week! I am off to a good start.



I also just finished knitting myself a cowl. I knitted it in the round and it was suppose to have 1 twist and it had 2. I did not like it so I pulled it apart and I am going to start over. I will post a pic when I complete it.

Brent's B'day

Brent's birthday was this week so we had chocolate peanut butter cup cupcakes from Jillybeans. This is the new cupcake and ice cream store on the square in J'ville (they are not on Weight Watchers but they were so good). Brent also got a Alabama National Championship shirt (sorry forgot to take B'day pics). We were suppose to go out to eat Saturday night and our neighbor was going to keep Jacks but he was a little sick. It seems like every other week he gets a runny nose and it comes with a fever. I don't like to even take him outside when he is sick.

We were suppose to go to visit Brent's family today and I was suppose to go to a shower but....Jacks had a fever and I did not want to take him in and out of the car a million times. However, I did make the gift for the shower myself so I wanted to post pics of it. I really wised I knitting when Jackson was born because the newborn things are so cute.

This is a baby cocoon. It is for a girl but I did not want to make a bunch of pink stuff. I saw the cutest new born pic with babies in these. I made a baby headband to go with it. The color is peacock (I did not want to make a pink one) it is much prettier when you see it. I thought the bow was a little big but a lady at work told me the bigger the better. Leigha they do have an adult size if you would like one.

 I did have to make something with some pink. I made this ear flap hat that is suppose to look like a bear. I hope it does? It kind of looks like a mouse. But those pic of newborns with animal hats on are so cute.

Best Friends

Well it took 9 months but Bucky finally decided he likes Jacks. Since we brought him home from the hospital Bucky as ran from him. All of the sudden he is just kissing all of Jackson. Bear is still ignoring him. Bear is just old and set in his ways.


I finished my hounds tooth scarf in time for the big game (just a side note, I had to teach myself how to crochet to make a boarder for my scarf because it was rolling) and Jacks and I were ready. Of course Alabama won. Jacks could not make it to the end of the game...however, he did wake back up to see the end. Maybe one day he will sleep all night. All Dr. Ebba could tell me was good luck.

No matter what we do Jacks hair is just crazy. It is not curly yet...but it is wild.

Brent also usually gets Jackson dressed in the morning and sometimes the shirt is on backwards or inside out. So Brent changed Jacks diaper one evening and forgot to button the oneies. So he just buttoned the oneies over the pants (don't call DHR).

Back to normal

Well the house is back to normal. Where the Christmas tree once stood is a big bucket of toys.

There were so many toys we had to get Jackson a toy bucket for the living room and one for his bedroom. He has plenty to play with now!

Now the Christmas is over and I made gifts for everyone else, I started on something for myself. I thought I would make a hounds tooth scarf. It may take me a while to finish it but so far so good.
