Sunday Dinners

Phil, Jackson, and I have been eating almost every Sunday dinner with my grandparents and my Uncle Dave. It's so nice to get together with family and visit and share a meal together every week. Right now we've been going over to my grandparents' house to eat, but hopefully next week when we have all of our household goods we can start having everyone over to our house for dinner. This past Sunday evening was just beautiful, so Jackson and Gramps went outside for some after-dinner swinging. My grandparents have a beautiful backyard and Jackson loves being out there, especially on the swing with Gramps.




After a few minutes of swinging, the thumb went in the mouth and someone started to get drowsy! It was a little past his bedtime at this point.

Jackson gets more and more active every day. He's started pulling himself up on almost everything and he's been falling over and bumping his head on things a bit more. I've figured out that when this happens I have to just look at him out of the corner of my eye to make sure he's okay and try not to make eye contact with him. If he sees me looking at him he will cry for sure, but if not, he's usually fine. He has this habit of crying whenever he sees me (if I've been gone for a little bit). He's great when other people watch him if I'm not there, but as soon as I come in the room he cries for me! I figure I'd rather have him cry for me when he sees me than cry for me when I'm not there.
