Thanksgiving and a Game

We spent a nice and quiet Thanksgiving with my parents and then headed to Oxford for the game with Zach's parents! The older and more active Jackson gets, the harder it is to take good pictures of him, but we were able to get several pretty good pictures of Jackson while at the game, so here are quite a few!

Jackson loved watching the band in the Grove and watching them head to the stadium!

Taking pictures with Jackson is a continual lesson in patience . . . Zach is playing peek-a-boo and I look like I'm hoping to be spared the wrath of Jackson

Ahh! Finally, a pretty good one of all 3 of us!

45-0! Zach was so happy!

watching the game!

Oh Happy Days!

Jackson was getting fussy the other day, so I looked around to find something to distract him with and found Colonel Reb. He plays "Dixie" and moves around, so I got him down to see how Jackson would react. Turns out, they became fast friends and Jackson would carry him around and actually calls him "bahbee" aka baby!

"Mom, what on earth is this thing doing?"

"Look, he has an eye too!"

"Bahbee"

"Oh what fun there is outside!"

I was watching Jackson play with him and wondered if he was anywhere near the height Jackson was as a newborn; I measured Colonel Reb and Jackson was actually only 3 inches taller when he was born-now look at the difference!

If he could talk, I'm sure he would really be asking to be rescued from this little fella!

And last but not least, Happy Anniversary Zach!

Pearly Whites

Since Jackson has started climbing, I pulled out his step stool hoping he would like brushing his teeth if he could look in the mirror-now it's all I can do to get him off of the step and out of the bathroom without his toothbrushes! Yes, toothbrushes, before the stool, he liked having a brush to brush my teeth with while I brushed his!

Silly boy laughing at himself

Slow progress!
The stepping stool is gone and now to get those toothbrushes!

The Remote

Early learner

Rubber Ducky

Someone got impatient . . . he gets that from his Daddy!

I guess he just couldn't wait any longer for bathtime-all

of the sudden he climbed over!

Rise and Shine

Jackson woke up bright and early ready to go this morning,

so we headed outside to enjoy the weather.

Waving at a passerby--this is the first time I've

ever seen him do this!


Daddy back from hunting this morning!

Argh!

Trick-or-Treat!

Halloween and a costume didn't go so well last year, so we had our fingers crossed this year! We only ended up with 2 pictures last year and both of those were of a fussy little kangaroo . . . this year proved better!

Sweet little boy!

As soon as we finished trick-or-treating,

we headed out for a game weekend
