End of the Week

This week was so much fun! Wednesday and Thursday were spent outside--literally! Yesterday we were outside next to the pool nearly ALL DAY LONG! Jackson loves being outdoors--he sat just looking around in his stroller for about 3 hours (in the shade of course!) We went on a walk, watched the birds, and tried the grass thing again--he's still not sure if he likes the grass.

The funniest thing that happened yesterday though, is Jackson has figured out how to "say" and "wave" bye-bye! His wave is backwards and he opens and closes his hand toward himself, but it's still cute! Sometimes his words are a little delayed, but he understands the concept of "bye-bye" now, and he doesn't like it! Aunt Tacey was at the house over lunch, and when she turned to leave, she said "Bye-Bye Jack! I have to go back to work!" and she turned and headed toward the door; his little face got so sad and he started crying! At first we thought it was just coincidence, but a few hours later, I did the same thing (waved bye-bye, turned and opened the front door) and he did the same thing! It kinda breaks your heart to watch his face get so sad...

Also yesterday, he was a walking machine! When he wants to walk around, he crawls over and grabs your fingers. He's still climbing on everything, and now shimmies around from furniture to furniture!

But today, we've just hung out all morning! Jackson hung out for a bit in his pack-n-play while I got dressed...he doesn't like to sit in there, he wants to be standing and seeing what's going on...busy body!
