On the Go!

Jackson and I had a wonderful time hanging out with GiGi and Pop last week. My parents arrived in Greenville on Saturday and stayed at our house until Wednesday morning. After breakfast on Wednesday, we headed to Pigeon Forge. We had a great time in the mountains. We were on the go constantly, and Jackson was such a good little sport! He really is such a trooper! My parents went to a show for the first time during the trip. They have been going to Pigeon Forge for over twenty years and have never been to a show! It's hard to believe, right? We went to the Black Bear Jamboree. I really think they enjoyed it, and Jackson had a great time. He slept for the first half of the show, woke up and took a bottle, and danced for the remainder of the show. Fred and I always enjoy going to the Black Bear Jamboree, and I am glad my parents finally gave in and saw it.

I cannot believe that my sweet baby will be six months old tomorrow. Time has gone by so quickly! He smiles and laughs all the time. I don't think it will be much longer before he starts crawling. He has definitely mastered rolling over and scooting. He is not able to sit alone yet, but I can tell that he is getting stronger. I have to admit that we are looking forward to the day when he can sit in restaurant high chairs and shopping carts so that we don't have to carry around his car seat.

Thanks to GiGi and Pop, Jackson now has a high chair at home. I think he likes it. It had gotten dangerous to feed him in the bumbo because he tried to flip over in it. He is much safer strapped in the high chair. It also comes in handy when Fred and I are eating supper. We can put Jackson in his chair while we eat instead of trying to hold him. He constantly grabs at cups and plates. He would love to have a bite of food from the table.

I will try to post an update tomorrow of his height and weight after we visit the pediatrician. I am guessing he is a little over twenty pounds now. I know my opinion might be biased, but I think he is the cutest baby in the world. :)


Here are a few pictures from the trip and of Jackson in his new high chair.
