8 Months Old

Sorry...I can't get this picture to rotate :(

Jackson is eight months old and it seems like he is becoming a little boy right before us. He is fully mobile now and working on pulling himself up. And I can tell you now that this child has ambition! When he sees something that he wants...there's no stopping him. He has mastered the "pincher" grab and is putting everything he can find into his mouth. This month we have began feeding him finger foods, which he loves! And he can drink water from a sippy cup well.

He is perfect in so many ways-

He is loving and charming.

He is our son and brother.

He is bright and happy.

This is our Jackson!

Jump Start for Art

Throughout the month of May, every Friday, Rhonen has been going to an art class for toddlers. The teacher would bring different mediums for the kids to try out each week. Believe it or not, every child enrolled was a boy! The class lasted for one hour and the kids were free to walk around, talk, play, or do art. It was so cute to see Rhonen interact with his peers. Since the class ended we have noticed him more interested in drawing on his chalk board and coloring.

High in the Sky!

I always tell Rhonen that I'm going to push him "high in the sky"....today he repeated "sky" with his arms in the air :)

Rhonen Turns 2

Last Wednesday my baby Rhonen turned 2...even though he's a toddler he's still my baby :) We kept it low key this year with cake and presents at home along with a afternoon spent at Chuck E Cheese. We're also planning a trip to Sacramento next week to visit the zoo/funderland. He 's been going through a lot of developments these last few months that are worth noting:

-He talks a lot! He learns new words each day and is quite animated when he talks.

-He tries to sing songs...although we can't understand the words just yet.

-He loves to test the boundaries :) We're working on this one.

-He mimics what we do...if I do the dishes he's right there to help me. If Dustin is pulling weeds....Rhonen pulls the closest thing that resembles a weed (usually something that was intentionally planted).

-He can climb to the top of just about any play structure all by himself.

-He has started engage in pretend play. He'll pretend that he sees a cow or that he's eating food. It's really cute :)

We are in awe of how quickly he has grown. He is smart, ambitious, funny, and loving. Happy Birthday to my sweet Rhonen!

Feeding Time

What a moment! Here is Rhonen trying to feed Jackson...more of the squash ended up on his face than in his mouth! But hey...his heart is in the right place :) "Sorry Jack!" as Rhonen would say.

Mother's Day 2011

This mother's day I was able to sit back and enjoy the company of my two boys. They are so full of life, curious, funny and sweet! I am one lucky mama!
