Awesome Set of Wheels!



Okay, I'm totally gaga over this bike. Can you imagine how much fun Jackson would have riding in the back? The cargo bucket has a seat and seatbelt. Too cool! Click on the link below to help me win one.

Naked Time!

Yesterday, Jackson had some naked time outdoors. He's got a bit of a diaper rash due to the *ahem* frequent changes that have had to occur recently. So, what better thing to do than to enjoy the warm weather outside naked, right?!








Pool Time!

Poor Jackson is STILL sick. Its been a week now. I am so ready for this bug to leave! I am sure Jackson is, too. We took him to the doctor on Tuesday and it looks like it is the stomach flu. He did well on pedialyte for a day, but threw up this morning. And, I won't even go into detail about the "other end". Ugh. We are hoping for a speedy recovery!

On to better times...here are some pictures from Jackson's first trip to the pool at Uncle Mike and Aunt Cathy's a few weekends ago. He wasn't too sure what to make of all the water and fussed for a little bit. I think it will take a few more visits to get him used to the pool. He's sure to like it - especially on those hot summer days coming up!





Hanging out in the pool makes me sleeeepy......

Barfy Baby

Jackson had his first stomach bug last night.

He was cranky and fussy all day yesterday - I thought it may have to do with his shots that he received the day before. He didn't finish lunch, but he ate his dinner. Then, at 12:15am, he woke up. I went in thinking he just needed his binky, but found the poor little guy in a pool of white, pasty barf (sorry if TMI!). Barf in his hair, on his pjs, and a pool of it on his mattress. Yuck. Poor guy.

After I got him all changed, he threw up all over himself again (and on me) -- this time with me on the big kid bed in his room. After about 1/2 and hour of changing sheets (his crib, the bed) and clothing (his, again, and mine) he fell asleep quickly in the glider. I slept in his room with him to be sure he was okay the rest of the night, although it was difficult for me to get back to sleep since I'm such a worry-wart.

Then, at 3:30am he lost his cookies (or formula) again. Through out it all he was all smiles and seemed to be feeling okay - probably because it made him feel better. He woke up at 6:30am and has been sleeping for a little over an hour in his swing. Poor little guy. I'm hoping this is the end to his first stomach bug!

I may need to get him this bib if this continues:

Mother's Day

Hello there! Its taken me forever to get these pictures posted! We ran out of memory on one of our computer drives and after some file swicharoo, I finally was able to upload pictures from the weekend.

I had a great 1st Mother's Day! Jason and Jackson took me out for a surprise brunch at La Pastaia at The De Anza Hotel downtown. Delicious!! I also received a nice card, flowers, and a necklace with a "J" and birthstone for Jackson. The necklace has been ordered and is on its way, and here is a pic of what it will look like with a heart instead of the birthstone:



It is from bella button designs on etsy.com. I love etsy!

They really made sure I had a great Mother's Day. One of my favorite things we did was relax in the yard in our new hammock. Jackson enjoyed swinging in the hammock, too! Here are some pictures of our afternoon:

Jackson loves being on his tummy!

Time for funny faces

Here is an extra picture of Jackson swinging in his swing. Gotta love that smile!

Lesson of the Week

Prunes and yogurt do not mix.

I have learned this lesson this week. In a baaaaaaad way....

Don't give babies (or any human that has a normal digestive system) these 2 food items together. The results are disastrous! And odoriferous! ugh.

I'm still trying to recover from it all.

These are the culprits:



I'll write more later when I am of sound mind (and nose)...
