Sitting Up and Sippy Cup

Jackson is working on sitting up and using a sippy cup.

He can sit up unsupported for a few minutes before the inevitable face first tumble occurs. He's getting better every day though.

Yesterday was his first day with the sippy cup. He did great on his first try, drank the whole cup by himself for the most part. I think he found it funny that formula was coming out of something besides his bottle. The sippy cup experience didn't go as well today. He had no interest in holding the cup himself. Oh well, he's only learning. He'll get it. We're only going to work on the sippy cup thing one time a day. I just think it is easier for him to hold himself than the bottle since the bottle is so bottom heavy. I guess we'll have to wait and see if I'm right.

Party Animal

This photo was taken last weekend at an office "birthday" party where Chris works. Why do people always try to put silly things on babies -- hats, glasses, shoes, etc.???

Check Out His Giggle

Why do I love it so much when he giggles??
Probably because it is so much more pleasant than the alternative...

Rough Introduction

Poor Big Bird, this must hurt. "Gentle" is obviously not yet in Jackson's vocabulary of understanding.

Igloo

Guest post from Jackson:

Look what my Daddy brought back for me from Minneapolis.....an igloo tent! I really like it! Mommy tells me the best part is that it only cost $7 at Ikea, but I like it because it's fun to stare at the ceiling! It has a funny shape.
