New tie for church

Here are some pictures of Jackson in his first big boy tie for church, he wore it every day for the first two weeks with everything, including jammies.

Side note: Have you ever seen the episode of friends where Monica and Chandler need to take engagement pictures, but Chandler can't give a natural smile and has an awful cheesy face that he gives everytime someone brings out a camera, we've decided that's Jackson is Chandler. We simply cannot get a natural looking smile, or get him to look at the camera when we try. This is the best I can get. He's cute anyway, cheesy grin or not.

Googily-goo

Here are some updated pictures of my girl who has become known as goo-goo or googily-goo in our house. I'm not quite sure how Annabelle morphed into googily-goo, but it went something like this "Annabelle-girl" to "Annabelle-girllll" (drawn out until it sounded like goo, this is all done by Jackson you see) to "goo" to "googily-goo". And to think we spent all of that time deciding what to name her :). She is a doll, even now as she has decided for some reason since her surgery on Monday to put tubes in that she does not need to sleep. Exactly the opposite of what we had planned. She is currently crawling around tearing up my bedroom at 10:30, I gave up trying to put her to sleep, as I am doing this.
These days she is getting into everything, crawling on all fours backwards, and dragging herself with one arm tucked under to get forwards, not sure why the difference. She is ultra independent and wants down as soon as she's done nursing. She is into everything and can find every tiny piece of inedible everything and eat it before I can get to her no matter how many times of day I vaccum. She has begun to clap, and thinks she is very cool when she does this smiling at everyone. She also says Dadan everytime Kurt says it to her, and never for me. She is smiling at least 90% of her awake hours even now at 10:30. She is a doll and I feel so lucky to have such a smily joyful little person in my life. It is going way to fast. Alright, enough motherly babbling, here are some pictures of Annabelle enjoying some food that doesn't come from Mom and some pictures of her playing today.



Green beans are yummy.

I tried to get a picture that captured her clapping, this is as close as I came.

big boy haircut

Ok, so when three people in one week commented on "her pretty hair", Kurt put down his foot and said that it was time for a big boy cut. Here are pictures in the hair salon, he did amazing and just sat there quietly watching the whole thing.

In the car ride home.
