Boo!!! Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from my little shark! We had a wonderful time trick or treating with my nieces and nephew. Jack was a good little shark and everyone loved his costume. I even had someone ask to take a photo of him in his costume because they liked it so much! So... here are a few (and of course, because it's me,it's never JUST a few!) photos from today! And of course, I had to throw in a photo of Jack wearing a Texas beanie!

Pumpkin Patch Fun Photos!

We went to the pumpkin patch today!! Jack absolutely loved it. He was so excited to walk around in the pumpkin patch (have I said how great he's been walking? He's about 75% walking all the time now...) And that pumpkin wagon was the highlight of the day for him!! He sat in there and just played with his pumpkin the entire time. The only time he even attempted to move was when the bunny rabbits came up to the wagon. Now we just have to carve our pumpkins! Here are some photos from today!

Count downs!

We have many awesome upcoming events that I have now added tickers for!!

Video of Jack walking!

Jack has been slowly taking steps here and there... but today he has finally put a bunch together and has started walking! He was walking all over the place today at JCPenney's while we were there for Halloween pictures. Of course I didn't have my camcorder with me, so I got him on camera tonight at home!! He's going to be walking full time so soon, and I am so not ready for it!!

Enjoy!

She did an amazing job given the fact that Jack was not a happy baby that day. I love the ones of him playing on the slides. I am so glad we chose the park versus the beach like I had intended.

Enjoy!!

Photos from today! I LOVE THEM!!!

Here are some of our photos from today's professional photo shoot. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see the rest!!! I absolutely love love love love love our photographer, Alva Rosado Photography. She is beyond talented, and is so patient to work with a less than compliant baby ;) Anyway, enjoy these, and as soon as I get the CD of all of them, I will post a link!!!

New layout!!

I am proud of my blog today!! I found a website with free backgrounds, and I tweaked it to my liking!! I figured it was time for a change from the plain pink!! Anyway, if you are looking to customize your blog (yourself), check out the link box at the top left of my blog!! It has a ton of cool backgrounds to choose from.

Enjoy!

Family photos!

I don't have any to post yet, but we hope to them today or tomorrow.

Anyway, we went to Mt. Trashmore to take family photos before Josh deploys. We did get some good shots, but I'm hoping she caught some good candid shots, too. Smiling obviously just wasn't something Jack wanted to do today, not in front of the camera anyway.

It didn't help he woke up at 6 this morning when he's been up at 7:45 (almost to the dot each day) for the last 5 days!!! He was all smiles and giggles while he was playing from 6:30-8. When we got to the park at 8:45, no smile. NONE.

We sang itsy bitsy spider (thanks to Josh over using it, my "always makes him smile" song no longer makes him smile) played peek a boo, sang, jumped, blew bubbles, etc. NOTHING made the kid smile.

Finally at the very end, he cracked a few smiles. I'm hoping more of the photos turned out good. We used the same photographer from last time, and I wanted great photos of Josh and Jack and then all three of us before Josh leaves.


As soon as I receive the proofs from my fabulous photographer (I completely, 10000% recommend her for anyone locally. She is great!) I will post some here!

First steps!!!

I wish I had a video to share (I almost caught it on camera... I just wasn't fast enough) but Jackson has finally taken his first steps!! We've been suspecting them to happen any day for the past month or so, but he finally let go and walked two to three steps at a time today! TWICE!!! He was holding onto his Bounce and Spin Pony (Another post entirely, he's too cute with it) and let go, and took three steps to get to me.

My baby is growing up too fast!! :( Since I don't have any recent photos of him (I am still looking for a camera... it will be replaced soon, hopefully) here is a slightly older one! I am thinking we may have a bona fide walker in time to wear this costume for Halloween!!!

Photo Montage!!!

Today was Jack's first time on Aunt Carrie's trampoline. He absolutely loved it. He thought it was freaking hilarious when we would "bounce" him while he was sitting down. He loved every minute of it. And I took advantage of Carrie's camera and took well over 100 photos. (I am camera deprived! I haven't had mine in a month now) Here are some of my favorites, but it was hard to pick just a few!! All of the rest are up on his shutterfly website. If you want to check it out, email me for the website and password.

Enjoy my bouncin' little monkey!
