We Have a Walker!!!!

I feel so proud to say that our baby boy little man is officially walking!  On December 1, I was dressing him in his room and he took a few steps toward his bed.  All day at daycare he walked around.  Then, the following day and week, he had NOTHING to do with it!  It's kind of funny as he chose crawling to be his main source of transportation.  So cute!  Finally on Dec. 14, two weeks later, he started walking once again, and this time he's kept up with it.  He loves to walk around the house and he especially loves to chase Izzy around and cuddle with her.  I'm not so sure yet if she really loves this new little mobile man that keeps invading her space.  She's a good sport and takes the beatings well, but every once in a while, Jakson walks toward her and she jets for the door.  I think in a few months, she'll be used to it.  :)

We saved one present for Jakson to open up on his official birthday.  He absolutley LOVES cars and trucks and loves to make this odd sound with his mouth while he's playing with them!  It's too cute!

Making the sound!

Soooo big!  This was his birthday meal.  Easy mac maybe?  Pretty classy meal if you ask me. 

Jakson got an extra special birthday kiss from one of the kids at daycare.  Jakson has a preferred truck he plays with at Colleen's house and took it away from one of the kiddos there.  As a result, Jakson got this birthday bite.  It was the first time I have experienced something like this so I didn't really know what emotion to express.   I felt terrible knowing that it probably didn't feel good getting...it's definitley an A+ of a bite.  There's teeth marks and all, but it didn't break the skin.  Thank goodness for photoshop.  We had Jakson's one year pics taken three days later and the bite was still there. 

Here's my boys watching tv.  Oh yea, and George and Piggy too!

Picking out our Christmas tree.  Doesn't Jakson look enthused?
