3 Months!

Happy Monthday Colby!  Today you are 1/4 of a year :)  Oh how the time flies.

You've been a joy this month and your personality has begun to shine through.  You love to talk!  You have the most adorable coos and can carry on quite the conversation.  I keep trying to video you, but the light on our flip video becomes a little too exciting and you stop talking and inquisitively try to figure out what it is.











You are such a happy little guy and put a smile on any body's face.  You went camping and to the beach for the first time.  You were a trooper.   I'm sure you'll always be one too.  We love you, Little Monster.

Tahoe

We had a great time camping in Tahoe.  These are just our beach pictures.  More pictures to come :)

Colby's first time on the beach,

The Boys' Rooms

Colby's room is finally done!  It wasn't quite finished when he made his grand entrance, and we weren't too worried because he's still not sleeping in it!

I've been waiting to post these pictures until I got the last few details in.  This banner from etsy,



We saw no sense in getting new bedding, I think it's kind of cute the boys shared their crib set.  But I did change the colors of the room from when Jackson was a newborn, to give it a whole new feel.









I took this picture in February when the Almond trees were in bloom.  I did have plans for his room for quite a while!



And in his room as a 16 by 24 canvas,





And the little canvas of his newborn picture,




And of course Jackson's big boy room.

What a week for Jackson!

What a great week for Jackson :)  He started preschool and had a great time.  When I went to pick him up, he ran up and gave me a hug and a kiss, every parent's dream.  Then he went right back to playing.  The teachers told me he was an angel, what a great kid, and that we should be proud.  Way to make us feel good!  They said he ate all of his lunch that they provide (peanut butter sandwich, carrots, apples, and broccoli), he went to the bathroom like a big kid, and was very polite.  Yeay Jackson!

Today he got his yellow ribbon at swimming lessons!  He had to swim across the pool to get it.



His shirt says, "Show Me Your Whale Face."  He doesn't get a shirt with each ribbon, they just happen to have given him 2 different ones around the same time he's earned his ribbons.

First Day of Preschool

Today is Jackson's first day of Preschool.  *tear, tear*  He's growing up.  He was SO excited.  The kind of excited that we knew we couldn't even tell him he was going to preschool until a couple of days ago, because we knew it would be all he would talk/ask about for days.  We're so excited for him to be a little bit on his own to meet friends, sing songs, do art, etc.





With his little bag filled with extra clothes.  They have a water table and request extra clothes for all of the fun things he'll get to do!  No backpack needed yet :)





{These are about the crappiest pictures I have ever taken, but oh well, at least I have them :)  He was too excited to get inside that I didn't want to hold him up. }
