Life Lately...

Our sweet Jackson is sick with RSV this week....YUCK! It is awful. He is so miserable, and it's terrible to not be able to help him. We went to the doctor and he said just give him Tylenol when he needs it. It takes 5-7 days to get out of his system, but he is contagious for 2 weeks. So we're spending a lot of time at home these days. I seem to have gotten some form of it myself, so our home is not exactly party central right now. My husband and mom are the BEST though helping out in every way possible. Thanks guys!

A couple things that have happened lately:

Our church had Family Fest the Sunday before Halloween. Jackson dressed as a cowboy, but half of his "get up" didn't stay on him. Oh well! He wore a super cute outfit his Tia Leah gave him, his boots, a cowboy hat, and carried his horse with him. I didn't get many pics as I was there alone (the boys-including my hubby- were at the Texans game) trying to keep up with Jackson.

This was a bean bag toss...through my dad's mouth! haha

We also celebrated Uncle Ryan's 24th Birthday a couple weeks ago. My mom made him this awesome cake. My husband Ryan thought it would be funny to ask her which bakery she bought it from.....not so much! :-)

Happy Bday Uncle Ryan

Jackson has really expanded his vocabulary recently. He is learning all sorts of new words. We've been working on identifying body parts and animal noises. Here's a little video of his version of what animals say. This was taken today while he is still sick, so that's why he's so still!!!




Our friend Monica and her baby Annie came to visit last weekend. It was so fun to catch up with her and see her precious little girl.

I had another doctors appointment last week. I am always thankful to get a good report!!! I got to hear the heartbeat and see the baby from an ultrasound. It was amazing how I could see the head, arms, fingers, legs, and toes!!! It's really growing. My belly has "popped" but I pretty much just look pudgy. It's that awkward stage before I am noticeably pregnant. I'm 13 weeks now and am ready for the "feel good" 2nd trimester! :-)

That's about it from us for now. Pray for Jackson to feel better soon!
