Kendall's Baptism and Jackson's Birthday Party

Happy Memorial weekend everyone! We have been very busy. Last weekend was my sissy's baptism and we also celebrated my 2nd birthday. It was a fantastic party! "Auntie Nicole" flew in from Colorado to be Kendall's Godmother; Uncle Bill flew in from California to be Kendall's Godfather; Grandma Mac and Aunt Kate drove from New Jersey; Nana and Papa came; Uncle David and Aunt Audrey and Isabella and Cohen came; Great-Grandma Mary came (who Kendall is named after) and even Mom's Uncle Bill and Aunt Wanda were there. Thank you everyone for traveling to make the day truly special.

What was also special was Kendall's baptism gown. It has been in the Phelan family for 101 years!

Four generations...

The Godparents...

Nana and Papa...

Grandma Mac and Aunt Kate...

Our family and Uncle David's family... we have so much fun together!

Here I am enjoying my yummy chocolate Mickey Mouse birthday cake! The cookout after Kendall's baptism was so much fun. It was a very hot day, but we kept cool by running through a crazy sprinkler.

I got so many wonderful birthday gifts. Thank you very much everyone!

Today Mom and Dad set up a pool for me! We had a blast and it really helped to cool us off on a hot summer day.

Grandma Mac and Aunt Kate are here for two more weeks. They are taking care of Kendall during the day, and will be taking care of both of us the last week they are here. We have been so spoiled with all their help! Kendall has really begun to "talk," especially to Grandma.

Here's Aunt Kate helping with Kendall. Notice Kendall's onesie. It is from Uncle Bill. It says, "I'm behind the FBI" on her behind!

Well, it's a big birthday week. My birthday is tomorrow and Aunt Kate's birthday is Tuesday! Uncle Bill's birthday is next Sunday. Happy birthday to everyone!

My sissy sure is getting bigger by the minute. She's 9 weeks old already!

A special thank you to Aunt Audrey for taking pictures at the baptism and birthday party!

Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Jackson

Hello and a late Happy Mother's Day to all you amazing Mommies out there! Sorry we didn't get a chance to post last weekend. It was a very special weekend because Daddy graduated! We are so proud of him! Way to go Dad.

Here are some more pictures of my sissy after her bath tonight.

Mom was playing with her hair since she is getting baptized next weekend.

Do you know what else is next weekend? My birthday party! It is a really exciting weekend because a lot of family is going to be here! I can't wait!

A couple weeks ago I had a playdate at my cousin Cohen's. Let me tell you... he has some really cool toys. He even has a John Deer tractor that goes when you press the gas pedal! I loved it! Thanks for sharing all your toys with me Cohen! Can't wait to play with you this weekend.

We also played on the swingset.

Mom went back to work this week and Nana came to babysit. I love reading books with my Nana. I've started to say more words, too.

You might notice in the second video that I am wearing a Packers Aaron Rodgers jersey. Mom wanted to be sure to explain that Uncle Mike sent it to me... she did not buy it. :) Go Bears!

This last video is Kendall practicing her tummy time after her bath tonight. She's getting strong and tries to hold her head up a lot.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Safe travels to those family members and friends who are coming to visit!

Love,

Jackson

Beautiful Days

We have had a couple of windy, but beautiful days here to enjoy being outside! We even went to the park Saturday. Here is a short video of me playing.

Yesterday Dad cleaned out the old sandbox and put all fresh sand in. I had so much fun playing in it! I'm sure we'll have some pictures to share soon.

I continue to be a big helper (most of the time). I even try to put Kendall's nook in her mouth when she's crying.

Here are a couple pictures of her. Mom says she's not fitting in some of her newborn clothes anymore because she's long like me.

Happy 16th Birthday to my cousin Alex! Congratulations to my cousin Sean on making his First Communion! Dad graduates from Grad School next Sunday - yeah!

Have a good week!

Love,

Jackson
