Touching Moment

Earlier today, Campbell was "teaching" Riley her ABC's from one of my favorite books that I received as a baby shower gift. She went through the alphabet first and then proceeded to teach her a word that started with each letter.

Here's how the conversation went:

Campbell: "Riley, this is the letter A." Campbell pointed to the apple located beside the letter. "What starts with this letter?"

Riley: "Applebees!"

Then Campbell went down through the list until she came across the letter H.

Campbell: "Riley, this is the letter H. What starts with this letter"?

Riley: "Heart."

Campbell: "That's right! The love that Jesus has for us."

My heart just melted.......

Memorial Day

It was a nice change of pace having Brent home during the week for some good family time and good food. The kids had on their red, white and blue all geared up to celebrate Memorial Day. (Actually, Campbell picked out a pink shirt with a flag on it....very cute.)

Brent cooked all day long it seems like. I have to say I married a very good cook!! He started off with cooking a Pork Shoulder night before last in our smoker for at least 12 hours for some pork BBQ sandwiches at lunch time. He also whipped up some cole slaw and potato salad to go with it. I threw in a strawberry shortcake to quench my sweet tooth.

For dinner he grilled some fish and veggies. I made an avocado salad on the side with a berry smoothie. I think the girls liked the smoothie the best. However, I liked it all! There isn't much that I turn down....especially if someone else does the cooking!

My Little Sleeper

Jackson is not the best napper during the day. However, he makes up for it during the night. My typical routine is to feed him at 7:30p and then it's his bedtime. I'll wake him up three hours later to feed him in hopes to help him make it through the rest of the night.

Although, here lately he doesn't have any interest eating at his last feeding of the night (10:30p). He rather just sleep. Doing so, he'll wake up around 3am starving. Knowing good and well that if he does get a good feeding at that time, he can easily make it until the next morning.

Once again, he didn't eat at 10:30p last night. So, I went to bed assuming that I would be getting up around 3am to feed him.......

NOPE!!

He slept through the night!!!! And he is still sleeping.....

My little sleeper. My sweet boy.

Pics of Jackson

Several people have been requesting more pictures of Jackson. Isn't he cute? Can you believe that he is almost two months old?

Riley's Day

Now that Jackson is in the picture, Riley doesn't get as much attention as she did in the past. So, I officially made today, "Riley Day". She and I spent a couple of hours together doing her favorite things.

We both ate a grilled chicken leg at KFC and then headed over to Bratchers for a ice cream cone. We had so much fun together just talking and spending time together. I'm hoping to be able to do this at least twice a month.

One Month Old

Jackson had his one month doctor's visit today. He weighed in at 10lb 6oz and 23 1/4 inches long. He is in the 60 percentile for his weight and 90 percentile for his height. The doctor was very pleased and we'll go back for another visit next month for his 2 month check up.
