December Update

I am writing this entry from a hotel room in Anchorage. The fam is enjoying the state wrestling tourney this weekend. Dylan is at the finals right now and Jackson and I headed back to the room early since his naps have been all screwed up this weekend. I had one very tired boy on my hands. However, I'm super content to soak up my last few hours of internet before heading back home for our last week of school before break.

These pictures are from the last month. Enjoy!

All tuckered out!

On Thanksgiving, Jackson had his first solid food of rice cereal. He loved it! He was like a little bird wanting more. Today he had his first taste of sweet potato and ate the whole jar. Once we get home after Christmas I'm going to set to work making our own baby food. For this week though we're buying it.

A big thanks to Kate for the bib. Jack's "Give Peas A Chance" bib not only is cleaver in its saying it also has a little plastic food catcher at the bottom that is indispensible.

Jack is chillin' in the Bumbo. Grandma Hooper brought him a tray that attaches on. It makes for a nice little workspace.

A baby can't always be happy. In the last couple of days Jackson has really shown some annoyance when we take something away from him. We were shopping and he was holding on to his new sippy cup and I took it away from him for 2 seconds so the cashier could scan it and he was quite upset. So that part of shopping is harder, but what's now easier is that he can sit in the kid seat of a cart. That means no more lugging around the stroller.
