8 Months

Yesterday Jackson turned 8 months old. He was a little under the weather on Friday. He ran a temperature all day long and nothing would bring it down. So, we thought Easter would be marked, as all holidays have been, with Jackson being sick. But...on Saturday he was clearly feeling better, so we decided to be very brave and color Easter eggs.

It started out fairly calm and seemed like no big deal...

Then Jackson decided it was so much fun!

Things ended fairly quickly once the blue egg dye went all over the table and the floor. We came very, very close to having a blue Morgan dog!

But, we did manage to get all the eggs colored and I think they turned out well!!

We took his 8 month pictures this afternoon. Needless to say, that little boy who just sat in the chair and didn't bother the blocks is long since gone!

And again, everything must go in the mouth these days...

Here is the complete Easter outfit. It was a little chilly, but we managed to get it on long enough for a few pictures and dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's house.

Everyone have a great week!!

Happy Easter!

We woke up this morning, came downstairs and discovered that the Easter Bunny had hopped by last night!

Jackson was pretty excited. He had 5 board books and a First Easter bib in his basket. Plus the Easter Bunny left Jackson a bunny and blow up toy with balls in it- which is supposed to promote crawling.

Of course the first thing one must do is dump out all that colorful grass in the floor- thanks to the Easter Bunny for using the paper grass and not that plastic kind that used to be in my Easter Baskets. Then we checked out our new books. Books are a big hit around here, so they will get a lot of use.

And of course, the basket must be tasted! Everything goes in the mouth these days!! All in all, I think Jackson has enjoyed his First Easter- it wore him out, he's upstairs taking a nap.

Happy Easter Everyone!!
