100% Boy!

Here are some random pics of my baby boy from this month....



Climber on My Hands!

Lately, Jackson has really taken to climbing everything in sight... including people .... or in this case, the couch! I turned out from cooking in the kitchen and this is what I found! He had pushed his chair up to the couch and climbed on up! Then he was going back and forth just blabbing away! I only "thought" my hands were full before... ha.



It's all about to change!

Big changes soon to be in the Stearle Household!! While Ryan is busy interviewing for new jobs, I'm busy trying to get our house ready to be put on the market! Some would say this is a bit premature, but to them I stick out my tongue! Ryan and I have decided that either way, we're interested in moving out of this house and into something a bit bigger.... Because I've basically complained about this house from Day 1 and my poor sweet husband is tired of hearing about it, he has elected me president of the new home buying federation. So he said he wants me to do all the work and he's along for the ride.... Well, we all know that while he may sit on the sidelines at first, he WILL have a say and I wouldn't have it any other way! :) So, hopefully I will have a meeting w/a realtor this week and we can get this ball rolling! My AMAZING mom came down this weekend and watched Jackson so Ryan and I could a) work in the yard and b) spend some fun times w/ our gang.... We got a lot accomplished in the yard... next weekend, we'll finish up. Ryan took pictures so I'll let him post those. In the meantime, I apologize for the lack of posting - I'm definitely staying busy! It will be very VERY hard to keep this house clean and organized w/ a 14 month going behind me pulling everything out that I put up.. but we'll manage! :)

Wish us luck!

Playgroup Today

This morning's playgroup was at a Martial Arts studio and they opened it up off hours JUST FOR US! So Jackson was running around like crazy playing! It was a ton of fun! Burned off a lot of energy - he almost fell asleep in the car on the way home....

NOTE: These pics were NOT taken w/ my new camera (you can tell the difference, BIG TIME!)




Hanging out with Uncle Roy and Aunt Janet!

This weekend, Ryan had a bachelor party so Jackson and I spent a lot of time with Aunt Janet and Uncle Roy since my parents were in Branson... Jackson certainly found himself a new play buddy!






Big Boy Car Seat!

Jackson officially moved to his big boy car seat on Friday! He's been able to move to it since he was a year old, but we waited cuz it's really safer to have him rear facing as long as possible... but lately, he's been ancier than ever in the car seat, so we though this will give him a whole new perspective. He's even got a DVD set up now! Big pimpin! :)
