Jackson Weighs In

By the way, I weighed Jackson today and he came in at 15 pounds, 13 ounces! This means he has gained 1 pound, 9 ounces since being weighed at the doctor's office almost three weeks ago. Yea!!!

Jackson is almost crawling. He gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. To encourage this, I made a little came out of it. I put him on his hands and knees and put my hands around his middle and rock with him while singing, "Rock, rock, rock!" I know that sounds silly, but he absolutely loves it!

Jackson, making the transition from sitting up to being on his hands and knees...what a big boy!

Jackson was really "hamming it up" for the camera today...

Weekend in Ridgecrest

Troy, Jackson, and I went up to Ridgecrest this past weekend. Ridgecrest is known for their hot weather this time of year, but we were blessed with a cool, cloudy Saturday with some sprinkles and for the remainder of the weekend, clear, beautiful weather! Troy played in a soccer tournament up there with a few friends. After soccer, we stayed with our friends for a couple nights. They took us off-roading in the hills in the back of their house. It was beautiful...it looked similar to Joshua Tree, but it was higher up, so the view was magnificent! It was great fun to spend time with this family after four years of intending to visit them!

Here are some pictures from the soccer tournament:
