Jackson is 11 Months Old

On Thursday last week J turned 11 months old.
He's getting so big. He is 22 lbs and 29.5 inches tall.
The only way I could get him to hold still and not attack Winnie the Pooh during this picture was to put a bottle in his mouth. Silly boy.
He still refuses to crawl. He is scooting around all over the house. I thought that having a kitten would help him want to crawl, but he just learned to scoot faster.
He loves his bottle. He gets so excited when he sees me making him a bottle.
He has 2 teeth. They came about a week apart just after he turned 10 months.
Jackson can sign (sort of) "more" and "all done".
He loves doing patty cake and peek-a-boo.
Whenever I tell him "no no" he points his finger and shakes it at me.
He loves to be held.
He loves his pacifier and blanket.
His favorite toys are usually ones with wheels that he can roll on the ground.
He loves bathtime.
He enjoys playing in his sister room with all her toys.
He likes opening and closing doors and playing with mirrors.

I thought I'd find a picture of Morgan around the same age and compare. I thought J looked a lot like Morgan did at this age, but now that I compare, I think they look nothing alike.

My Favorite Quotes From Morgan Today

We were listening to Disney songs while eating lunch. "A Whole New World" from "Aladdin" came on.
"Look Mama, pwetty song!"

I was putting Morgan down for a nap and she asked me to pick her up. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I said, "you're mommy's favorite girl, you know it? Mommy's very best girl."
Morgan responds, "ya, pwetty pwincess."

People were right when they said it gets easier when your kids start playing together. These 2 entertain each other a lot lately. Its fun to watch. Turn down your volume though, they're LOUD!!!

Most of My Family

I just wanted to post this picture to have it on my blog. This is most of my family. Minus me and Clint and 1 younger brother and his wife. And my parents of course. They were all together this summer in Utah. We had a new nephew born in June.

This and That

Isn't he adorable? He's getting SO big!! This was Friday, the 6th eating lunch at the Navy Club.


I just can't get enough of my blue-eyed boy!
Oh, and my brown-eyed monster....I mean girl.
My friends and I went "catalog shopping" yesterday. We took the subway to some department stores in hopes to find catalogs with our children in them. We only found one catalog with my friend's little girl on the cover, and this is all we found of Morgan....
A life size poster of her on the door. Isn't she so sweet?
