Wild Weekend

This has been one of those weekends where you're almost actually glad to go back to work on Monday! Andy and I had a nice night out on Friday night courtesy of our favorite sitter (Sarah, of course). On my way home from dropping her off, I was rear ended in a hit-and-run. I wasn't able to get a license plate number on the guy, but my car is fine and no one was hurt.
Both of our teams won on Saturday, which is always nice! Today, however, Stoops did what we have always feared in our house - she fell from the loft. She was trying to scare Jackson and I as we walked up the stairs, and she lost her footing and fell down to the living room. She seems to be fine and is back to her old self, thank goodness!


Here are some recent pictures...


Game Day - Go Sooners!




Jackson loves to watch his daddy mow the lawn - he waits at this window for him to come by...

New words, new teeth, and new skills

Jackson has been a very busy boy! He has really started to explore language, imitating everything. He now says "baby", "bye bye", "momma", and "dada". His favorite word of all right now is "uh oh". He says it all of the time. He'll drop toys on the floor or trip and say "uh oh"! It's adorable! He also gain three new teeth this week! He is really enjoying solid food, so the addition of the new teeth will help him chew.
This is a picture of Jackson before the addition of his new teeth - two more on top and one on bottom...

Jackson has been practicing very hard for Halloween. He will be a monkey this year!
Our biggest news is that Jackson has started walking! He has been taking steps for a while, but he finally took off last night. It is very cute to see him upright. He's still wobbly, but he's getting stronger every time. Before we know it, we'll be chasing him around the house!


First OU game

Jackson had his first OU game a couple of weekends ago. We were so excited to take him down to the campus and show him around. Andy and I went to the game, and Jackson got to hangout with Aunt Rach, Uncle Tommy and Will. They had a great time. You can see that Jackson had his first picture taken with a cheerleader...

All decked out for the game...


The boys are all dressed in crimson and cream. Jackson's shirt says "My hair may be orange but I bleed crimson". Uncle Tommy helped us make it!

Go Sooners!
