10 Months Old!

Jackson is officially 10 months old - 2 more months and we will be celebrating his first birthday... WOW. My baby boy is growing so much, so fast. We had a very busy weekend. Friday night, Justin and I had a date night while Grandma had a date with Jackson. We take any date night we can get!! Saturday, we drove down to Columbia and spent the day visiting with Grandma and Grandpa. Jackson enjoyed the visit and especially enjoyed playing with Zeke. After a long day on the road, Jackson stayed up late playing when we got home. I think he was just so excited to not be in the car any more that he was wide open. We had a blast playing together. Then, today, we went to a birthday party for a friend's two-year-old boy. It was at the Greenville Zoo - zoo first and then party in one of the shelters at the park/zoo afterwards. It was quite a hot, busy weekend. But, it was fun.

Jackson has become very fascinated with learning what kinds of things he can do with his new found talent of standing up. Trial and error means that he has taken a few hard hits here and there. He still thinks he is invincible though. The last couple of days he has been quite amused by standing up and immediately sitting down over and over and over and over again. It's hilarious. Jackson had an ear infection this week - so we had a visit to the doctor. He weighed over 22 lbs (I think it was 10 oz, but not sure). He's just growing, growing, growing. He is graduating to the next room at daycare tomorrow. I am a little concerned because they seem to only want to have them take one nap a day. Jackson still needs two naps a day. We will see how it goes. My biggest problem with daycare has been that they have not been able to get him on a good nap routine. I don't understand it because he is such a good baby at home. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt since daycare is completely different and I can't know how he is there without being there myself. Ultimately, I am a control freak and I just don't like not being able to make sure that he is on his routine there too.

Above are a few pictures of our weekend. I have to post them in two different posts - there are so many good ones!
