Solid Food...Finally!

Today Jackson had his first solid food - rice cereal! At first, he just pushed the food out with his tongue, but within a few minutes he had this whole eating business down and was eating away like a pro. A bit messy, but we were really surprised how much he ate - seemed like he really enjoyed the cereal!














Here is a (messy) video clip:

March Madness

It's been a busy week! We had our good friend Heather visit us from Long Beach for a few days, Ethan's first t-ball game, and some fun in the sun. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!

Jackson smelling the spring-time jasmine. Not sure if he likes it. hehe.


Jackson and his new BFF, Heather:

Visiting Mima, Poppa, Tata, Krista, and the Twins:



Whew! I'm beat. Time for a nap with daddy!

Like Father, Like Son

Jackson is sporting his Hawaiian shirt today! Who does he look like?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We hope everyone had a great St. Paddy's Day! We had a fun-filled day.

After Jackson's bath, we got ourselves ready to go to a local park, Rancho San Antonio, with a mom/kids group. I think Jackson's shirt says it all.



The park is great - there is a farm about a 1/2 mile in for the kids to explore. Lots of sheep, goats, chickens, pigs, and Luna the cow. Here is a picture one of the mom's took during the hike. Jackson liked seeing the farm animals!




After dad got home, it was time for a good ol' St. Paddy's Day feast of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. With a pint of guiness, as well!



Mmmmm.....

February and Early March

Oh my!!! I can't believe its been almost a MONTH since I last posted! Where does the time go?

Some excitement occurred in February as Lance Armstrong came riding into our neighborhood during the Tour of California ride. It was a sprinkly winter day, but we bundled ourselves up and walked 2 blocks to catch a glimpse of the riders. Here are some pictures:




Who is that little munchkin in the corner?!

Here's a video of all the riders:


It was a nice surprise seeing the racers that morning! I thought Jack wouldn't like being out in the cold, sprinkly rain, but he actually liked it. After we returned home, he enjoyed a nice, warm bath. What better thing to do on a rainy day?!

More News: Jack is learning how to sit up on his own. He's almost there! Here is a picture of the little cowboy practicing in his Bumbo chair:



and getting some tummy time:



Jackson is also test-driving the highchair! Here he is for the first time in the chair, taking it all in. Soon enough, he'll be eating with us and throwing his food everywhere! LOL.



Jackson just loves to "talk" and coo. Here he is telling us how he misses you all and wants to see you soon!
