Jumping around in My Soccer Gear

Well it has been some time since I have sat down to update everyone. I have finished my fellowship and am now home with Jackson. Day #1- approximately 30 minutes of a planned 2 hour nap followed by a Jason's Deli trip where in I was about to feed Jackson chocolate pudding (which my pediatrician has outlawed until 1 year of age) to get him to relax/stop screaming at random intervals. He is now supposed to be 30 minutes into his second nap and instead is choosing to cruise around the crib and babble to anyone within earshot-namely me. Motherhood is definitely teaching me patience and to "expect the unexpected". Jackson is now 8 1/2 months old. He is very strong willed, not sure where he got that and..... he is VERY active. When awake he can hardly be pinned down. He loves being outdoors and seems to be most happy there. Since it is ~100 degrees here in July and August, we spend most of our outdoor time in the water. Jackson's first summer is moving right along, he will be a year old before we know it! Love, EJJ

Jackson hits the Beach

OK..........we just got back from our 8.5 hour car trip with little Jackson. We went to Destin by way of Phenix City to see Jackson's namesake-Faye Farrar (daughter of Eva Jackson). We had a blast and for being cooped up in the infant carrier for hours on end Jackson did well too. He loved his great grandomother Faye and was sad to leave.....I put some shots of his first swimming event which he loved. He had no fear whatsoever and attempted more than once to drink down the pool. Josh played Mr Mom while I was at the rheumatology conference next door. The boy bonding time was good for both of them. We all got a little R and R and fun family time, but we are glad to be home.........love to you......emily, josh & jackson
