Teeth!

Jackson now has 2 bottom teeth!! So far he does not like anyone looking in his mouth....so I have yet to capture a picture of the teeth.
My mom and I love to go to Taiko Sushi in Folsom. We must go there a lot because the waitress loves Jackson and always wants to feed him tofu. He can't have tofu but I asked her to bring us a small bowl of rice. She brought us a small metal spoon and after a few rice morsels.....I heard a "cling cling"!! My mom and I both screamed as Jackson squealed with all the attention that he was receiving. A moment I will not soon forget!! Here is one of the many "teething" toys Jackson enjoys!

Bath time

Bath time sure has changed around our house.......We started with the infant tub and just transitioned him to a small padded blow up tub that sits in the bathtub. He was a little scarred being in the big tub all by himself, but too big for the infant tub.....he loves the blow up tub and bath time is fun time again!

Very first ride.....Pirates!!!

Nic and I took Jackson to Disneyland the week after Labor Day. It was such a fun experience for all three of us. Jackson's first ride was the Pirates of the Caribbean. He loved looking at all the people.

He also enjoyed, Small World. He rode on the boat laughing and kicking his legs while watching the children and characters.


We think his favorite ride was Dumbo. He loved going up and down. Ironically, Dumbo looks very similar to all of the elephants on his Pottery Barn bedding, in his nursery, maybe it just made him feel at home!!


Dumbo is so fun!



Jungle Cruise

He was such an angel! Though it was a bit different "parking" the stroller all the time.....taking advantage of the "rider swap pass" was awesome. This was better than "fast pass", you walked up to the ride and ask for a rider swap....the first rider gets to go to the front of the line. The second rider gets a piece of paper that they can use to do the same thing once the first rider gets back. No specific "fast pass" times to come back at, ride the ride when you want to!! The park was pretty dead and we walked up to most rides.

Nic, Jackson and Tow Mater

For our anniversary Nic took me to the Blue Bayou for the non Disney fanatics ( the first class restaurant inside Pirates of the Caribbean) We got a table right by the water, the food was fantastic, fortunately our child was not!! Trying to feed a baby in a romantic dimly lit restaurant was not fun. Luckily Nic took him outside for a quick walk and came back with a sleeping angel!! We also bought Jackson his first set of Mouse Ears complete with his name on them.

I also bought Jackson a Disney wardrobe so he was decked head to toe in all Disney stuff everyday.....a little overboard, maybe.....but worth it as he looked so adorable!! We celebrated our 4 year anniversary in the Happiest Place on Earth as a family of three!! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who works so hard to provide a wonderful life for us. We love going on "ventures" and can't wait to take Jackson to the other Happiest Place on Earth next your for our 5 year anniversary........MAUI!!!


Happy Baby at the Happiest Place on Earth!
