Twenty-ten

I just turned 30 yesterday, but I'm calling it twenty-ten to make myself feel better. :) I'm also telling myself that 30 is the new 20, because it totally is.

Last night we went out to dinner with friends to celebrate and then did some shopping. All in all, it was a great day, minus the fact that I entered my fourth decade. Yikes! 

Teeth

Guess who got a two new teeth?? I'll give you a hint, it's not me.

Yep, that's right. Jackson finally has two bottom teeth. I'm pretty sure he's gonna love them. 

As a side note, the answer to that question also could have been Brett. He's had quite a bit of dental work done recently. :)

He won't be showing off his teeth anytime soon, but isn't he handsome?

Baby Kira

My newest little niece, Kira, was born a little over a week ago. My sister-in-law, Bridget, brought her over today for a little photo shoot. I just loved how this one turned out. Isn't she so sweet??

One Year!

Jackson is 1! He actually turned one a couple of weeks ago, but I'm a slacker, so I'm just now posting about it. I think I will really appreciate all these updates years down the road, so here goes.

Here are the stats:

• Weight: 20.9 lbs. (20th percentile)
• Height: 30.8 in. (78th percentile)
• Head Circumference: 19 in. (92nd percentile)

And here is what Jackson has been up to:

• He is saying Mama, Dada, Papa (my dad), baba, ball (only sometimes) and hi, which is his newest word. It's so stinking cute when he says it too. He'll stretch his whole arm out, move his little hand to wave, and say, "hi." I love it.
• His favorite foods are milk, bananas, cheese, yogurt, any type of baby food, and Goldfish crackers. He'll sometimes decide to eat turkey and hot dogs, but he's kind of becoming a food snob. He'll turn up his nose at most other foods, unless it's junk food, of course. I'm in for trouble, I tell you.
• He still has zero teeth. It's kind of crazy. Somehow he still manages to eat.
• He crawls everywhere, and fast. He cruises around the furniture, but he isn't walking yet. 
• He loves being around people. I'm pretty sure he gets bored when he's just home with me.
• He laughs when he hears anybody else laughing. So cute. 

We threw him a BIG party for his special day and it was a blast, for us anyway. :) Here are a few pics from the party.

Oh, I love this kid. The past year has gone way too fast!
