Friday Night with the Kirklands!

This Friday evening, we had the Kirkland family over for dinner. The boys had a fun time playing with their toys & riding around in trucks. Walker and Jackson are three days apart and the bestest of friends. Before bed, they had a great time playing with bubbles and tugboats in the bath. What cute "Buns" they have!! Next play date will hopefully be with clothes on.

Our very own Model!

In April, Jackson was asked to be a model for Parent's magazine's Pregnancy & Newborn October issue. He and some other adorable children dressed up to model halloween costumes. Jackson was a Hedgehog and a Turtle. Due to his love for posing for the camera, he loved all the lights, flashing and attention that he recieved. The issue comes out in early October.

1st Game of the Season!

The first game of the year fell while we were at the beach for Labor Day Weekend. The day started by Jackson waking up to Greg singing "Glory to ole GA". Jackson was excited to finally fit into his personalized #7 jersey given to him by his uncle Adam. During the game, Jackson munched on pigs in a blanket and cheese dip. At half time, he went outside to throw the football with his daddy, granddaddy & friends. What a great day to start off our winning season! Go DAWGS!

Discovery Week

This week, Jackson discovered that he loves to play with all balls-Golf balls, base balls, beach balls and especially basket balls. Instead of putting on the golf green, he used it as a basket ball court. Uncles James taught him how to dribble and shoot. While on a break from the court, he found a dirt pile and was shocked that it was on his hands. What does he do with anything that is in his hands--we eat it!

I'm the Next Tiger Woods

Uncle Chris gave Jackson our first set of golf clubs. Granddaddy Sam has been practicing with him on Jackson's very own private putting course. He seems to be picking up the sport very well. Greg wants to enroll him next Spring in Junior Golf--don't think that we are quite ready for that yet, Dad!

Jackson is walking!

Our little Jackson is finally walking. Well, almost running! He took his first few steps on this father's birthday (July 23). He is enjoying his new found freedom. We are not enjoying it so much! The walking has also intensified his curiosity about everything. He points and we respond with a word-Light, Picture, Painting, TV. This game can go on for hours!

Parents are away, so I will play...with my Grandparents

Greg and I went to the Bahamas for a much needed long weekend. While we were bathing in the hot Bahama sun, Su Su & Granddaddy Sam took Jackson to their beach house in Seagrove Beach, Florida. Jackson enjoyed eating the sand and riding the waves. A Big Thank you to his wonderful grandparents for taking such good care of him!
