11 Months

As of yesterday, this little guy is 11 months old. I can't believe he'll turn 1 so soon! I'm not sure what his height and weight are, but here's what he's been up to:

• Following me around everywhere, which I love most of the time,
• Eat nothing but baby food, formula, and Cheerios, (I try to give him other things, but he usually refuses)
• Saying "baby" over and over (I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what it means, but Brett claims he said his first sentence last night when he said, "hey, baby."),
• Pulling himself to a stand on all the furniture and walking around the furniture, 
• Not teething, (The kid has ZERO teeth. I'm starting to wonder if he's going to need baby dentures.), and 
• Smiling, laughing, dancing, and loving Brett's guitar as always.

Dear neglected blog,

I know it's been forever since I've posted. Please excuse my absence. My life has been a little crazy recently and my computer permanently died. I had plenty to post about, but unfortunately since the death of my computer, all my pictures are disbursed between memory cards and external hard drives. Luckily, I didn't lose anything, it's just a matter of finding everything.

I will be back soon.

XOXO,

Katie

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers, and especially my own mother.

I am so grateful for my mom and the little boy who made me a mom. 

10 Months {plus 11 days}

I've been meaning to write this post for 11 days now, but I guess late is better than never (even if Jackson is almost closer to 11 months now).

I've been pretty really sick for the past few days. I mean like unable to get out of bed or open my eyes. It's probably definitely the worst I have ever felt. But, I think I'll skip all the rest of the details. Thanks to wonderful friends who took care of Jackson while Brett was taking care of me, and thanks to my amazing husband for taking such good care of me. I have the best friends and husband ever. Thankfully, I am on the mend, I think.

Anyway, on to more fun topics. Jackson is now 10 months and 11 days! He is so much fun! I've missed him these past few days that I haven't gotten to spend with him. I am so glad to be back on the floor reading to him and playing with him. He now weighs 19.7 lbs and is 30 inches long. So, here's what he's been up to:

• Crawling everywhere,
• Getting into everything,
• Learning to pull himself to a standing position,
• Loving to play Brett's guitar,
• Dancing whenever music comes on, 
• Still making lots of loud noises all the time, (I think that he thinks he's singing), 
• Pulling my hair as I write this, and 
• Being the cutest and happiest baby ever.

I love him.
