Jackson's new moves :)

So Jackson has been pretty awesome at rolling around to get what he wants for a little while, and we've been working on getting him to crawl.  What we didn't realize was that Jackson was figuring out his own way to "crawl".  But very observant Daddy figured out that's what he was doing tonight!!  Check this out!

Pumpkin Picking Part 2

We had so much fun the first time we did it again . Thursday night we went with the Stuarts to The Red Barn in Santaquin. It was a lot of fun. They had a giant slide, a maze, a tractor, a hay ride and lots of pumpkins! They also have tons of goodies and we went home with some delicious fudge!! Here are some pictures! Enjoy!

Picking Pumpkins!

Saturday Court, Jackson and I went to Hee Haw Farm with my sister Trisha, her husband Moroni and their kids Arianna, Isabel and Efram to pick pumpkins and do some other fun things. It was Jackson's first time and he had a blast. There was a hayride, pumpkins, a giant slide, animals, a train and much more.
Just got out of the car and Jackson is already having fun!
Here is Jackson making friends with a horse!

Say what? What an awesome face. I'm glad Courtney caught it!

Family picture time!

This was a makeshift train pulled around by a tractor. Jackson loved it!

Blah leads to Tada!!!

I was getting bored with the look of our blog. It turns out Courtney was too! Together we have redesigned it. We have added a recent family photo to replace our engagement photo. It was about time. We hope you like it and we would love to hear your opinions.

8 months!

Jackson turned 8 months last Sunday!  I'm sure I say this all the time, but we can't believe how big he is getting!  He is still our tall, skinny guy, and he is getting to be so much fun!

At 8 months, Jackson ...
- loves eating baby food!  He still isn't quite sure about finger foods yet, but we did get him to eat some banana chunks (in between squishing the bananas between his fingers ;) )
- is doing pretty awesome at sitting up by himself, but still sometimes freaks out when he falls over
- is starting to scoot a little bit
- loves to stand!  He can support himself really well standing with a little bit of help from us
- is starting to cut his top two teeth (hopefully they will make a breakthrough this week!) which will bring him to a total of 4
- loves it when daddy flips him around and throws him in the air
- is finally sleeping without being swaddled, and loves taking advantage of the chance he has to move around his crib.  We always have a fun time seeing where he is and in what position he is in when we get him up in the morning and from naps.
- loves to "talk" and finally said "momom" the other day (to add to his "dada" that he has been saying for a couple of months)!
- is such a happy, fun baby!  We love when he gets excited over little things, and he has the best smile!

Jackson loves bath time! He looks so cute in his towel from his Aunt Trisha :)
Squishing bananas!
 
Jackson also loves playing with the remote
Our champion sitter!
 
 

This is Jackson's favorite toy right now.  Thanks Grandma Brown!
 

I know I posted this picture already, but that face is just too cute :)
