Ecto: Non-Smoker Extraordinaire

Today makes 322 days since I last smoked a cigarette. That sounds so gross now, to even say "I smoked a cigarette."

Hurray for me!

Jackson's 6-Month Checkup

Jackson had his 6-month checkup yesterday. He's now 28.5 inches long and 19.5 pounds. What a big boy!

Jackson can sit up now

Yesterday, Jackson started sitting up all on his own. He's been practicing for a little while now, but all of a sudden, he just got the hang of it. Last night at dinner, we sat him down in the middle of the dining room and he just sat down there with Mommy and Aunt CJ and had the best time ever.

Unfortunately, this morning he had a not so great time when Daddy let him fall over twice, once backwards and once sideways, hitting his bouncer seat in the process. So now I know to sit behind him, not in front of him, while he's still getting used to this strange new phenomenon.

Here's the photographic proof of his newfound talent:

Jackson's First Halloween

For his first Halloween, Jackson was a little blue monster.


Jackson's friend, Logan, and his Mommy, Susanne (and Jackson and Mommy of course!). Logan and Jackson are 2nd generation friends, since their Daddies have been friends for about 27 years now.



Jackson petered out right about the time the trick-or-treating got started.
