Saint Pat's '09

Our wee man had his first St. Patrick's Day in style! We had planned to go to our local parade, but it was coooooold; so we went to a local bookstore for storytime instead. Jackson and Jeff had matching Northern Ireland football jerseys, and were looking fine!







On the actual day of St. Pat's, Jack and I went to the park to show off his colors!

Whole Lotta Jackson Goin' On

February was a crazy month for us! Seems they all are, these days. Jeff and I went to California to collect the rest of our stuff (which was a great excuse to see everyone out there - which was a great excuse for eating In-N-Out Burger...). We also had a visit from my friend 20-weeks-pregnant friend Grace, during which Jeff and I had a violent stomach flu (thankfully she never got it, but I'm just getting back to "normal").

While we were goofing off doing silly grown-up things like packing and unpacking and buying new bedroom furniture, Jackson was about the serious business of babyhood. He learned to crawl. He started babbling (triumph for me - ma ma ma ma ma came before da da da da and both were beat out by ba ba ba ba). And as if that wasn't enough for a wee man to do in a few short weeks, he also discovered that the stuff in the bathtub makes a terrific mess if you hit it just right! Yeeeeee haaaaaw!
