The Last Few Weeks

So, I have been quite the slacker about blogging for the past few weeks. It's been very busy! Let's talk about what's been going on...

Jackson had his first professional pictures made. He did so well. He was actually quite intrigued by everything around him rather than looking at the camera, but we still got some really good shots - enough that I spent too much money because I couldn't narrow it down enough!

Jackson also got his first ride courtesy of Meme and Papa! Thanks Meme & Papa!! I can't wait to see how he plays with it when he gets just a little bit older.

In addition to Dadadada, he now says Babababa and Mamamama.... Thank goodness he finally added this last one (as of yesterday). I was beginning to get a complex! He had said it a couple of times here and there before that but it was more of an accident. I haven't caught that one on camera, but be sure I will one of these days.

We introduced the sippy cup - not too seriously yet. I just give it to him after he eats to see if he will try and drink it. At first, all he did was chew it. But, he has figured out how to do it, although not consistently yet. It's still mainly something to chew on for him. I have video to prove that - this was the first day I gave it to him.

Although he desperately wants to crawl, he has managed to learn that he can roll everywhere. I wonder if that will delay the crawling since it seems to be working for him. He's getting so close. We will see!

Jackson also turned 7 months old.... I can hardly believe it. We are on the other side of 6 months. How has the time flown by so quickly!? He is so much fun and melts my heart on a daily basis. I am sad and happy to see him grow up. It's just crazy how quickly our lives can change.
