Elegant Farmer

Good Morning! We went to the Elegant Farmer yesterday. There is so much to do there. You can buy pumpkins; pick apples; go on a hayride; and buy all sorts of meats, cheeses, and baked goods. They are famous for baking apple pies in a paper bag! Mom and Dad bought a small one. They also enjoyed a homemade cider doughnut. Here's a picture of me riding the giant wooden horse.We didn't get pumpkins, yet. It was too hot. We are going to get them in a couple weeks. Mom and Dad are going to have a carving competition. Have a great week! Next weekend we will have pictures of Uncle Bill and Meredith's visit.

Laughing

Dad really had me laughing tonight. You may enjoy listening...

Here's a time when I wasn't all smiles...

... the infamous "pooka" face.

We have plans of going to Elegant Farmer this weekend to pick out my first pumpkin. Mom has been putting up a few fall decorations, but it sure doesn't feel like fall with the mild weather.

Hope everyone is well. I am thinking of you!

Best Sunday Ever!

We had the best Sunday ever! It helped Mom get over the fact that the Chicago Bears lost in overtime. It was good to see the Giants win in overtime, though. I knew Grandma would be happy about that! After our family nap, we went for a walk. I rode in my stroller like a big boy for the first time.

I hope everyone has a good week! XOX

Go Bears!

Good Morning! It's been a beautiful, warm weekend here.

Yesterday I got a new shirt. It's orange

and blue because I love the Chicago Bears (contrary to what Dad may think). I can also wear it to the Carroll football game when we go in October with Uncle Bill and Meredith. I can't wait to meet them! I like Uncle Bill's photo with the Irish hat on. Have a wonderful Sunday!

My First Volleyball Match

Mom and Dad took me to my first volleyball match tonight! I was able to meet some of the players Mom coached last year. It was a lot of fun to watch, but it tired me out and I fell asleep. I am looking forward to the weekend because Dad doesn't have school. I'm sure we'll try to take some more pictures. Have a great weekend!
Love,

Happy Birthday Mike and Pete!

Jackson says Happy Birthday to Uncle Mike and Uncle Pete!

Listen to me talk!

Mom recorded me "talking" this morning.

Go UConn!

I tried my Bumbo seat tonight. I am getting stronger at holding my head up. It will take some getting used to. I really like to look at and suck on my hands now.

I watched the UConn game until I went to bed tonight. Not much of a game, but Dad was really happy. Thanks, again, to Uncle Mike for my Red Sox pjs. Dad said Grandpa would be proud.

Dad is rocking me to sleep... time to say, "Good night!"

Love, Jackson

Jackson's First Blog

Good Morning! Mom's friend sent her this website with her daughter's blog on it, so we thought we would try it. It might be a nice way to stay in touch with family and friends who live far away. Can you believe how much I have changed?

We went to our first Carroll football game last weekend. Dad was able to tailgate before the game for the first time! We had a lot of fun.
