jackson turned 8 months old on sunday. he is getting so big. he is getting his top two teeth...they are just poking out. he still does not sleep through the night consistently. he is constantly keeping me on my toes, because he is everywhere. if the bathroom door is open he is in there as fast as he can be and trying to climb into the bathtub. he loves taking baths and when he hears you turn the water on his little crawl turns into turbo-speed to get into the bathroom. he is climbing on everything. he managed to get up onto the couch yesterday, via climbing onto a chair and standing on the chair and then crawling onto the back of the chair onto the couch. he is walking behind things and pushing them all over the place. he has taken many headers from his daring behavior. he is starting to drink from a sippy cup-still not quite liking it, but trying to figure it out. he is into everything that belongs to addison, and she is not so impressed with that.
addison is now almost 4 1/2 and going on 16. she likes to dress herself and has her own sense of style which involves lots of dresses, makeup and jewelry. she is learning how to spell her last name...quite the task! she loves to play outside and with her babies. she is so grown up.
i can't believe it is already october. life seems to go so quickly these days. i am enjoying every bit of being part-time now, getting to spend a few more days home with my kiddos is awesome. God has sure blessed us with these 2 little ones. i think i am all caught up for now with photos....so enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch- Oct 15th
sept 23rd
jackson turned 7 months old this date. he is all over the place. he pulls himself up to things and walks along them, the problem was that he couldn't figure out how to get back down, so he would just turn and dive face first towards the floor. needless to say we have had several outbursts of crying as he comes crashing onto his head. he started eating puffs and more solid food. still haven't found anything that he won't eat...surprise surprise :). he got his first two teeth on the bottom. he is crusing everywhere.
feeding the ducks- sept 5th
we went to the park to feed the ducks and ended up getting some great shots of the kiddos. addison loved chasing the ducks all over.
jacksons's 6 month appointment
jackson turned months old on august 23rd. he had his 6 month appointment on sept 12 (6 1/2 months old) and he weighed in at 21 pounds 11 ounces (95th percentile) and he was 27 1/2 inches tall (78th percentile) and his head is in the 80th percentile. he is getting so big. he started crawling 2 days before this appointment. up until then he could get around but it was rolling or pivoting on his butt. he can go from his tummy to his back to his tummy and he pivots on his butt to get place to place. now he is crawling all over the place and pulling himself up to things. he is eating anything we give him. the dr. said that he is doing things that they look for at a baby's 9 month appointment, not his 6 month appointment. he said that at 6 months a baby should just be sitting up and rolling from tummy to back to tummy. what can i say? my little guy doesn't like to sit still and he has a big sister to keep up with. he is a much happier little boy now that he can move and get where he wants to go. he doesn't like his bouncer quite as much anymore, and i think it is because he is stuck in it, and he can't go anywhere. he loves his big sister and starts to cry when he thinkgs she is being hurt. we will wrestle with her and when she starts laughing really loud, he gets upset. it is sure fun to see him grow and see how different addi and jack are.
swimming lessons
addison took swimming lessons in august. she was very timid at first and it took her about half of her lessons before she would stick her head under the water. anytime the instructor would take her out in the pool to practice something, she would cling to the poor girls neck and not do anything. brock was beginning to wonder if this was a good idea. finally she got a little brave and one night she pushed away from the edge without floaties on and ended up going under and brock had to grab her out of the water because the instructor was out in the middle of the water with another kid. she was pretty much traumatized after that and wouldn't do anything again until the last day of class. oh well, she had fun!
