Naughty Monkey

Jackson is all over the place these days and one of his favorite daily rituals has become climbing up to the bathtub and turning the water on and off and on and off. He thinks it is a lot of fun and we think its pretty funny too, but it sure wastes water so we are trying to keep him away from it. I found a walk behind toy not too long ago and he feels like such a big boy pushing it around. He even has figured out when he bumps into furniture that he must back it up and turn it in another direction. It wont be long and I think he will be walking. Lately Gabriel has been really good playing with him and helping me entertain him while I do chores around the house. Its obvious that Jackson is starting to watch his big brothers every move and likes to follow him around.

Sleepless in KC

John and I have decided that it is time to quit getting up 2-3 times a night to give this little stinker"a bottle. He is big enough and surely eats enough that he should be able to sleep thru the night right? We are on day 5 of the big change. The first night he cried for 1 1/2 hours which was heart breaking. The next few it was about 30 minutes but last night it was only about 5 minutes. He is crawling all over the house getting into everything possible. He thinks being told "NO" in your most stern voice is a real hoot, and will just laugh it off and continue on with his mischievous plan. He is lucky he is so darn handsome!!

Trick or Treat

Our nieces Abby and Ryliegh .. A witch and her black cat

Death Rider (A skeleton biker) and spiderman
Gabe and Connor who lives across the street.

Jackson got these silly glasses in his treat bag and of course we had to hold his arms down to get a picture of him in them..

We tried talking Gabe into being Scoobis sidekick Shaggy but he wouldnt have it. For the first time he actually wanted to dress as something scary.

Jackson was such a cute Scooby Doo, but he could not stand the hat part of course.
