Jackson 8 Months

This is Jackson's 8 month picture! We weighed him at about 191/2 lbs. I tried unsucessfully to measure him. He is very active crawling, climbing stairs, and lifting up on everything and every one. He is an active litte fart and very squirmy to hold.

TWO MONTHS!!


My fellow bloggers, family, and friends, I am so sorry that it has been so long since we have blogged! (Two months) I am sorry to say we left the peaceful city of Rexburg to go work in California for a few weeks. While we were there my parents talked us into an opportunity to move to the Salt Lake Valley to house sit a house they had just bought. Within a week we sold our contract, drove up to Idaho, packed up our apartment and left. Ever since we have been nomads!
We moved our stuff into my parent new house then we had to go back to CA to finish the work there, then we came back to ID for Judd's sister's baby blessing, then we went back to the Salt Lake Valley house to pack up again becuase my parents have changed their minds and decided to flip and sell the house they bought. So we are litterally homeless. We have to go back to CA one more time to finish the work there.
We just decided (today) that we will go back to Rexburg and find a new apartment or house to rent! so those are our future plans.
All this moving around has taken it's toll on Jackson. He has had so much trouble sleeping at night, and I don't blame him, he has spent a lot of time in the car on long drives and has had to wake up in a different place every few days. poor baby...So these are a few pictures of our move.

Water Baby

Jackson loves the water so much. Tub or pool he loves to splash around. Here are some cute shots. big cheesy grin on top, and blabing monster on the bottom. His paws really are that big by the way.
... And of course, the rump roast!
The video below is of Jackson in the pool in California! We took him swiming almost every day! Jami and Dave came down to visit so Jackson got to swim with his cousin Ben.

jackson

Here are some fun pictures of Jackson. He always wants to drink out of our cups! it's so funny. He still hasn't figured out how to use the straw!
We got these sun glasses at the "build a bear" store. They fit him perfect. We'll get some better pictures later!
We ordered Dr. Suess books online and got some for free, including this nifty backpack. It's just the right size for Jackson. We put it on him and we both wanted to cry. It made us scared for when we'll have to send him to his first day of school. Judd says we're home-schooling him now.
Here's our boy at 7 months! He's 19 lbs and crawling all over the place. Just two days ago he learned how to pull himself up on all the furniture!! How did he get this big so fast?!?!

Like Father like Son

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!
This was taken in Great Falls Montana on our way to Canada! We stopped to take a break from the car. It was really windy and Jackson loves the wind. He always sticks his tongue out.

Cousins

Jackson 6 mo. Triston 1 mo. and Ben 14 mo. The Three cousins on the Riley side!

Ben with Jackson. They are best friends...
.. ...DOOF! Okay so they had a fight. (Disclaimer: Ben didn't really hit Jackson, it just looks like that in the picture)
