Jackson having fun



Jackson is doing great. We've been doing lots of crafts and coloring this week. Oh, I forgot to mention in the earlier blogs that we went to Jackson's 2 year appointment and as usual he is on the upper end of the growth chart, he weighs 31 pounds and is 37 inches tall. Jackson spent a wholde day with his dad last week while I took Pop to the eye doctor in Chattanooga. Here are a few photos of Jackson.

Jackson has been creating some great artwork this week. We did finger painting one day, which said "mess free", well pretty close, but Jackson can find a way to make a mess. He also used some colored icing to glue on different foods; he loved tasting the treats as he worked. Jackson played in the water to wash off the artwork that ended up on him and he showed his sense of humor and mischievous side by walking towards me with a cup filled with water, he smiled really big and gave me that look then dumped the water on my legs. He laughed and laughed, until he was running too fast one time and spilled the water on himself. We've seen lots of creatures this week. We focused on two Daddy Long Leg Spiders and what I think was a millipede. We also saw a giant green beetle of some kind and as always our friendly lizards. Jackson helped decorate his great grandparents, his great great grandparents and many great aunts, uncles, and cousins’ graves for what we call 2nd Sunday. The 2nd Sunday of August is always the time to decorate the graves and have a Callihan family reunion. Jackson loved playing in the sand and he even played football with the teenagers and adults, or at least he thought he was playing. Look at Jackson's photos.

Ella spends the Night & Jackson goes to Mia's 1st Birthday Party



Ella stayed the night with Jackson and we played dressup, but Jackson didn't really won't to dress up, he just wanted to watch Ella get pretty. They played a little with his new water rocket. Auntie Madeleine stayed a little longer for Jackson's b-day and enjoyed Jackson's new video of The Wiggles. Jackson continued to celebrate his birthday. He played with some moon sand, which made a bigger mess than what I thought it should. Jackson went to Mia's first birthday party. He had a great time hanging out with the other kids, Truman and Rowan have lots of cars to play with. Take a look at the recent photos.
