Isabella & her little brother...

Here are some shots of Isabella and her brother.

Jackson was actually asleep on the changing table & we had to take a picture... with proud sister standing by!

If she holds still long enough, Jackson will just watch her & smile. Her holding still doesn't happen too often though!

Isabella is quite sweet with Jackson. She really loves giving him kisses & wants to play with him so badly! It'll be so fun when he can participate more!

4th of July weekend with Granny & Grandpa Abla

We took a road trip over the July 4th weekend to Camden, AR to visit Granny & Grandpa Abla. This was Jackson's first long trip... a 6-6.5hr trip made into a 8 hour trip with our stops to feed him. Not too bad. And thankfully he does pretty well in the car- sleeping when tired & mostly just crying when it was time to eat.

Isabella had a blast as usual. She loves playing out on the porch at Granny & Grandpas & this time she watered Granny's plants! She dipped her watering can into the big bucket of water Granny was nice enough to supply for her & watered all the plants surrounding the porch... many times over! (Hopefully all are still living & did not drown!)

We had a fun time & Jackson enjoyed meeting his grandparents for the first time. (I think they liked him too!)

















Isabella enjoys sitting on the mower...

These are the only pics we got of the 4th of July attire... Jackson had a blow out (darn disposibles!) after this picture & Isabella just wasn't in her dress for very long. I wished we'd gotten one of them together but I'm horrible about taking pictures & missed the opportunity. Ah well... will try to do better!

Jackson is 2 months old!

Well, a little late on this update but better late than never... or so some say! He is now almost 11 weeks but ah well!

Jackson is getting so big! At 8 weeks he weighed 12 lbs... so that is a 5lb gain from birth!!! He is definately not missing any feedings! :) He is a very happy baby & usually only cries if he is hungry or tired. Otherwise he is smiling & cooing which is so fun. He really loves to look at peoples faces & to be talked to. He is holding his head up really well and just bobs a little bit. We're just about ready to start wearing 3-6 mo clothes & have already grown out of some 0-3. We're dealing with a good case of the craddle cap but of course it doesn't bother him... just mommy & daddy!
