Summer is Here

Hey all,
It has been a long time since an update. Sorry for this. It has taken me awhile to learn how to get some things accomplished and have a child also. Definately busier than before.
Well, we have been home almost 4 months with Jackson and oh how he has changed since we first got him. He started really taking off and walking about a month after we got home from Vietnam. He eats almost anything we put in front of him but really does not like fruit anymore. Must have had too much of it in Vietnam. He transitioned well from the Vietnam formula to Similac, and now is on whole milk without any problems. We celebrated his first birthday with about 45 family and friends. Jackson has had 9 showers since being home and really blessed with lots of gifts from everyone. We had him baptized in our church on Mother's day so this was a very special day for me!!!
Overall, the adjustment has gone really well for all of us. Lamar is a wonderful father, he can not wait each morning for Jackson to wake up so he can go get him. Jackson still thinks dad is just a big play toy. He is saying lots of words, laughs alot, and just a fun baby to have around.
My sister Lynne has been keeping him mostly so far for the summer while we work, and he has enjoyed this time with her. I am sure they will have lots of fun, pool days, and just lazy days too!!!!!
Jackson is finally sleeping good all night long!!!! He also sleeps later than normal some mornings and that is a real treat for me!!!! Love those days!!!! I hope to add some pictures soon so do not give up on me just yet on the blog site. I will try to be better.
Love to all and thanks for ALL the love!!!!!
Elaine
