Jackson rolls over for the first time

Last Thursday Jackson rolled over and it completely caught me off guard. I was able to take a few action shots of his latest trick.

A few more special people to meet before we leave

Jackson had a very busy time in Blue Ridge, and he enjoyed every second of it. Melissa is one of the few people to have changed Jackson's diaper, a moment I had to capture on camera. She did an excellent job and as you'll see Jackson smiled the whole time. Mandy was able to see Jackson for a short time while he was awake, but she quickly had to get him to sleep with her mommy skills and Jackson had breakfast with Wendy one morning. He also spent a little time with Pop. He gave Jackson a model FJ to play with. Jackson plans on saving up some money now so he can buy the FJ from Grammy & Pop when he turns 16, that is if Grammy & Pop can let go of it, or if it makes it that long. We celebrated my b-day with some cake with family and friends, then we ate out at the Mexican resturant, where Rhonda decided to surprise me with the Mexican Happy Birthday song and dad made sure he called the radio station to announce my birthday as we were on our way to the airport. Michael bought me a cake with cadles to blow out so everyone will know exactly how old I am. Thanks everyone for making the day special. Look at the photos of our last days in Georgia.

Kailey comes to Blue Ridge to Meet Jackson!

Paul, Emily and Kailey came up to meet Jackson. Kailey was such a good girl. We dressed them up for pictures and tossed them around from person to person and they both did pretty good. Jackson got a little upset in a few pictures you'll notice that Jackson reaches out for Kailey's help and she appears to be pointing and almost snickering at the cry baby beside her.

Jackson Meets Auntie Mad and visits with Lolo and Amma

Jackson met his Auntie Mad for the first time. Lolo and Amma drove up from Statesboro to spend time with their grandson. Auntie Mad left the exciting college life as a Bulldawg for the week end to enjoy walking Jackson around in the Baby Bjorn. Jackson was very happy to see his family and how much he is loved. See some photos of Jackson with the Aserons'.

Jackson meets the Callihans'

Jackson spent some time at Grammy and Pop's house and met several of his Callihan cousins and Great Aunts. He enjoyed all the girl attention and loved to sing to his Great Aunt Lillie. Here are some photos and more photos of the Callihan family and Jackson.

Jackson's First Plane Ride

Jackson flew for the first time and spent his first night away from home. His first night away was spent at his Uncle Billy's and Aunt Lindsey's. He did great on the plane ride, however we did have to change two really dirty diapers and his outfit within the two hour plane trip. It took Michael and I both to change him and all three of us had to fit in the tiniest bathroom ever. Take a look at the photos from the trip down.

12 Weeks Old

We visited Newport for the Seafood Festival and Jackson really enjoyed getting out and walking around. It was a beautiful yet cool day. We toured the Elms Mansion where Jackson decided he would take a nap. Here are a few pictures of our trip.

On the Go

Jackson has been in his car seat a lot this past week. We went for a drive to see the colorful fall leaves, we visited with the dry cleaning ladies one day, we went for a family shopping trip and we went for our first grocery trip together. Although I don't have any pictures to prove our outings, look at some pictures I've taken of Jackson. They're more exciting than leaves or shopping centers anyway.

Happy 30th Birthday Michael

We celebrated Michael's 30th Birthday this week. Can you believe that Jackson is wearing Michael's old yellow jogging suit. See more pictures of Jackson smiling, sleeping and swinging.
