Happy 1/2 Birthday!

Our baby boy is 1/2 a year old!!!

I feel like he's such a big boy now! Of course in more ways than one. He's 20lbs 2oz (90th percentile), but really he's such a big boy because he just loves people. Our pediatrician said he's just the happiest baby she's seen in a while and was laughing the whole time.

I made him his first 1/2 birthday cake! Although, birthday boy didn't get a taste. He has just started solids, but isn't quite ready for cake yet.

And, I took a picture quick, because this is what my beautiful (kinda) cake looked like 5 minutes later!

Oh well, it still tasted good, especially after our normal Thursday Survivor Panda Express! Too bad Sierra got booted though.

See the Wordle I made!

Green Beans!

Sunday Funday

We had a great weekend!

Saturday, Donnie, Jackson, and I got to go to Jake & Tena's wedding reception at Kennedy Park in Napa. Great spot, have to keep that in the back of my mind if we're ever planning a party.

Sunday, Janet, Susan, Jackson, and I went to Napa County Iris Garden. It was quite a drive, but beautiful! Too bad Jackson's not sitting by himself yet, it was impossible to take any pics. And, it only opens up every 2 years, bummer. It was pretty crowded by the time we left, hopefully they'll decide to open up every year.

Then, I almost don't want to write it, because we had the best time and I don't want it to catch on! But, afterwards we went to Monticello Winery, who participates in Napa Neighbors. It is the nicest winery and people. Beautiful, totally kid and picnic friendly.

In the wagon, I was yelling Jackson to try to get his attention, and the tasting lady came out and thought the owner's grandson was there. His name is Jackson and that's his wagon!

Solid Baby

Donnie gets to feed Jackson!

Jackson practically bends all the way over to get food!

His yucky face every bite!

But yet he always wants more,

adorable!

Thankful Thursday

1. I'm thankful that Thursdays come so quickly! That means Friday is just around the corner. I always feel like I've just written these.

2. I'm thankful for all of the friends we have to visit and celebrate with in April & May. So much fun and makes the end of the school year fly by since we're so busy!

3. That after dying my hair for the first time by myself last night, it didn't all fall out, become fluorescent, or electrocuted looking, I could go on and on....

Cheap Fun!

Everybody is looking to save a buck these days, even Jackson found some cheap (I will bold and all caps, SUPERVISED) fun! Who knew a plastic bag and its crinkling noise could keep a kid occupied for 20 minutes?

Jackson eats!

Can you tell how it went??

Lazy Sunday

I was going to try Jackson sitting in the shopping cart seat for the first time today! I brought my camera and everything. But, this is what I got after the 3.1 miles it took to get to the store,
