8 Months

Jackson is such a little joy to be around right now. He loves to play with his toys and he is funny and happy most of the time. He is easy to take places and even does really well at restaurants.

I've been having a bit of cabin fever lately because our weather has been so wet. Today we had a sunny afternoon and I could hardly wait to get Jackson out and about in the sunshine. We went to the park and he loved the swings! I am so looking forward to all of the fun outdoor activities we can do in the summer.

I won't go on and on about how I can't believe Jackson it 8 months already but I will say that he just gets more and more fun everyday. I just love him to pieces! I could honestly just kiss his squishy cheeks all day long!
