Update

As of Sunday, I am officially half way through my pregnancy -- 20 weeks. As you can see, this time is no different from last time. I get giant fast! I've been feeling good and last night Aaron was able to feel Emerson kick for the first time. I guess she's getting big enough now. He was really excited! We have picked out fabric for the bumpers - we think. We're waiting on the swatches to come in the mail before we make the final decision. Hopefully, we will find a crib this weekend and then officially begin work on the nursery.

Jackson is growing like a weed. He seems taller (and heavier) everyday. He is a walking CHAMP these days and can even carry large toys while he walks. This afternoon he was carrying around this barrel-shaped inflatable toy that is supposed to encourage crawling. It is bigger than him, but he carried it all over the playroom throwing it around then retrieving it and doing it all over again. He often carries his pool boat around also. Too funny!


Here is Jackson enjoying Nana Linda's chicken spaghetti recipe -- a favorite in our house! Linda used to make an extra batch just for me when she'd come to visit Tiff in Lubbock.

Jackson can now get on & off his Bounce & Spin Zebra all by himself. He has a blast once he's on, but seems to enjoy just getting on & off of it too.

We have been working on manners lately. He has always been able to express his thanks by nodding. We'd say "can you say thank you?" or "what do you say?" and he'd nod. Now, he actually says Thank You or even Thanks from time to time. You can sort of hear it in this video after he gets a raisin from Aaron.
