Mommy's Little Helper

What a great week! We had a lot of excitement here this past week. First of all, the fire department burned the house down across the street as a training exercise. It was pretty fascinating. Jackson had so much fun with all the firefighters and loved to look at the firetrucks. He didn't quite understand what they were and kept saying Choo Choo for train. We also had a visit from Peebo, Great Granddaddy and Aunt Glo. We had so much fun and can't wait until the next visit! Aunt Glo was kind enough to babysit Jackson for a night, so Greg and I could go to a birthday party. Jackson just loves spending time with his Aunt Glo and did great! As far as the world of Jackson, we have added two new words...choo choo and milk. Although milk comes out more like nilk. It is amazing how much Jackson is learning. He can now pick out different items in books like cars, balls, baby, duck, dog, flowers, and different body parts. He is pretty good with nose and belly button. He will also rub his hands together when you ask him if he wants to wash his hands. He also loves to help you do whatever you are doing. Now during dinner time, I will put a chair at the island and he will help me spin the salad and make the dressing.

Honorary Firefighter for the day!
Shouldn't we all take the time to smell the flowers?

Thanks for visiting us Peebo, Great Granddaddy, and Aunt Glo! We love you and miss you already!!
The weather was so beautiful yesterday that we decided to head to the zoo. Jackson had so much fun looking at all the animals!
Jackson watching the panda eat some bamboo. I think he thought it was Emma!
Jackson in the petting zoo. He was so funny. He wanted to pet the animals but he wasn't so sure about them. He would run over to them with his hand stretched out and pet them as he ran by.
First ride on the carousel. Mommy definately picked the wrong ride. While we were riding the carousel he kept pointing to the train saying choo choo. Next time we will definately have to go on the train!
