Well summer is winding down, and I have to admit I am looking forward to the cooler weather. We ended the summer with 1 last trip to the beach to visit Noni and Granddaddy. When I think back to last summer, it is hard to believe that Jackson was just learning to crawl and we only had a glimpse of personality. This summer he is a little boy with tons of energy and full of personality. He is so funny and loves to make us laugh. He is still my little monkey climbing things I would never imagine he would be able to climb. He can pretty much understand most of what we say to him and will follow multiple step commands. He is leaning his colors and is able to say yellow, red, and blue. He is also changed his favorite number from two to three. He now counts two, three, three, three...and so on. His appetite has grown and he is eating new foods including Grandaddy's pork chops! As you can see from the above picture, he loves ice cream! We have since moved to enjoying milkshakes.
Now that the weather is cooling down a bit, we have been able to enjoy some outdoor activities in the mornings. We went to the zoo with Jackson's friend Jordan and they had the best time! There were very few people there so the boys were able to run free!!
Jackson and Jordan playing with the water bucket in the gorilla exhibit.
Trip to Kiawah! We have been teaching Jackson that he has to hold hands when we cross the street. Jackson loved to hold Granddaddy's hand!
I am ready for the skate park!
Jackson absolutely loves to play in cars. He could play in my car for hours if I let him. This was an electric car that Jackson got to play in.
Our mode of transportation for the trip. We bought this bike trailer and it was a huge hit! Jackson loved it and it made carting our stuff to the beach a breeze!
I'm ready to go to the beach daddy!
Jackson loved to play in the ocean! There were a lot of waves this visit from the hurricane and Jackson wasn't scared a bit. He would run right out into the waves until one of them hit his face and he ran back!
The best part of the beach...playing in the sand!
Weee!
Jackson and daddy posing for a pic with one of Kiawah's largest residents!
Jackson holding his new favorite....corn pops!
Corn hole anyone?
Soaking up the last of the summer rays.
Thanks Noni and Granddaddy for the best time! We can't wait until the next trip!!
Playing at the beach is hard work!

That last picture of Jackson just doesn't look right...no silly grin!!??
So glad you had such a fun end of summer trip! I know Noni enjoyed her Jackson time!! Skateboarding and bike riding...do I hear helmut??
The house is so quiet, and we miss our morning visits with Jackson. He is such a bundle of joy. Tell him I told all of my students today how fast he is and how he climbs. I'm sure Emma was glad to have her buddy back.
Love,
Noni and Granddaddy
