A day in the life of the new MOBILE Jakson Paul Hoversten

This morning was a very busy morning for me. Here's a few pictures of Jakson discovering new things around our house. I think I may have my hands full what do you think?

First, I made a mess at breakfast. Mom dropped some oatmeal and I thought it would be fun to play in it!!!

Then, I found the new basket of books. Hmmm, what's in here? Maybe I can get the books out? Maybe I'll pull myself up for the FIRST TIME!!???!!! Had to get that diaper butt shot. So cute...

THEN, I decided to chew on Izzy's doggy chew toy AND pull down mom's magazines off the rack.

NEXT, I was off to the blinds. They are sooo fun to move up and down and PULL on!!!!

Now, on to chewing on the bottom of mommy's running shoes. Why are these sooo tastey??? Whew, what a morning! Gotta love 8 month olds...I need a nap!

Swinging at the Park

A week or so ago, we met Nikki and Caden at Gray's Lake, went to the park, and then had a picnic. Jakson had so much fun on the swings there. Here's a video of him giggling. I think it tickled his tummy a little!!! I can't seem to get enough of him this summer...we are having too much fun!!!!! I have a feeling my first bday of work next month might be a lot like my first day back at work from maternity leave... =(

Happy Belated 4th of July!!!

Jakson experienced his first of many 4th of Julys in the big IF. He got to swim in grammy's pool, went to his first parade AND got to spend some time with Gma and Gpa P while mommy and daddy went and spent time with Jess and Liz. No Fireworks yet though...let's just say he was a tired baby! He was so cute during the parade...I thought for sure he would cry because of the sirens, but he didn't. He just stared at them with my signature "open mouth". Sadly, he got that from me. HA! Enjoy the pics!

2 YEARS!!!

Wow!!! I can't believe that Brett and I have been married for 2 years today! It has been the most amazing two years of my life! Let's see...at this time two years ago I was with all my closest friends and family getting our hair done. I would relive that day any day! Brett and I will be celebrating our anniversary on Saturday with dinner downtown and a little live entertainment at People's by Damon Dotson. So excited!!!! I love my hubby and our baby boy!!!

Starting to Crawl!!!!

Sorry for the overload of videos, but I just learned how to do this this morning so I got a little excited. Here's a video from this morning. Our baby boy is starting to crawl!!!! Tear...tear. He's growing up sooooo fast! We are having so much fun and are thankful for him every day. Sooner than we realize it, he will be walking EVERYWHERE!!!!

Welcome Home Daddy!!!

This is what Brett came home to after being gone in Dallas. A VERY tired, overstimulated child. Please ignore me being bossy to the infamous (very jealous) Izabelle the bulldog. :)

Our Dinner Entertainment!!!

He also makes these sounds at church during prayer...
