Dixie Stampede

Dixie Stampede

We left for Pigeon Forge on Saturday morning and returned around lunch on Tuesday. We had such a wonderful time. Jackson was great! He wasn't fussy a single time when we were eating out. We decided to go to the Dixie Stampede because we received some coupons that would save us $15. We were a little concerned because children three and under have to sit in a parent's lap during the show. However, Jackson was perfect! He watched the show and didn't even attempt to grab food from our plates. He fell asleep during the last few minutes of the show and slept until we were back at the hotel. We changed his diaper, put him in his pajamas, and laid him down. He went right to sleep. We are so blessed to have such a good baby!

Jackson is nine months old today. Time passes by much more quickly after you have a baby. It is so hard to believe that we have had him in our lives for a whole nine months. I am so ready to spend the holidays with him. I can't wait for him to see the Christmas lights and wake up on Christmas morning to see what Santa has left him.

We are headed to the pediatrician tomorrow for Jackson's nine month checkup. It will be interesting to see how much he has grown. I'm sure he will be glad to visit without having his ears checked. He has had to have them checked at his last four appointments. He absolutely hates having his ears checked.
