Take Me Out to the Ballgame





We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with Larry in town! He and Michelle flew in Friday night and spent the long weekend with us. Jackson enjoyed doing touristy stuff with them :) Saturday night was a beautiful Spring night and we took a tour of the memorials and monuments in the city. It was a really pretty night! Sunday we spent watching the Nationals win against the Orioles! Go Nats! (Don't worry! He's still a Cubs fan and even wore a Cubs outfit to the game. We did decide that as long as they aren't playing the Cubs, we can root for the Nationals. They might not be very good, but they have a great new stadium with wonderful food!) Jackson thoroughly enjoyed his first baseball game. He ate and slept very well! We borrowed a Baby Bjorn from friends and it was a lifesaver! Jackson loves riding around in it facing out, but he also slept really well facing in while we walked around. Mr. Jackson doesn't spend much time sitting still so I don't get a huge quantity of snuggle time. This was great!

Jackson is working on tons of new tricks! I'm secretly hoping it's a long time before they get mastered... He continues to love sitting up and playing with his toys. He loves to grab on to anything within reach and try to pull himself to standing. He also is a fan of holding your hands and just using them as a brace to stand for a while. He is so darn cute with everything he tries! He has this huge cheesy smile he puts on when he knows he has our attention...pretty much all the time!

The big news is I am almost positive I felt a tiny little tooth poking up this morning... Needless to say we are on our third nap of the day and it's not even 2:00pm. Just a little tired and cranky :(
