All Better!

Jackson did great recovering from ear  surgery. I think it was the mud treatment. 

Cursed Ears

All of my poor children have had ear tubes with so many ear infections  prior that I can't count. Two have had the surgery twice! It's no fun for them and i feel badly. they are cursed. Jackson has had two ear infections thus far and so I knew the road we were headed down. I took him to the ENT and told him we needed tubes and he agreed. So tomorrow morning is his surgery. I am just so glad I won't have to do a hundred rounds of antibiotics before we solve the problem. So keep little jack jack in your prayers tomorrow.

Jackson is 8 Mths.

I can't believe he is this old already! Jackson is now scaling the furniture and getting more vocal, he knows how to wave hi and is just becoming his own little person. He is the happiest little thing, he makes our days so much brighter. 

His favorite things to eat are the little fruit puffs, he used to eat one at a time n ow he will seriously stuff as many as he can in his mouth! he growls at me if I take some out too. He recently has discovered banana's thanks to aunt miralyn ! He can eat a whole one no problem, along with a cup of barley and then 8 oz of his bottle. little piggy. 

He has so many helpers and it has really been nice, the difference with four children is well, different. and there is so much I dont have time to do or have chosen to not do for the sake of going nutso. But the help the girls give is nice and I see more and more why I was so involved in helping with my own siblings. 

I always remember my children at 8 months of age. It's the age I have always felt like they come to life, or that they start to see life. They discover so many things. Like the toilet and that by putting their hand in it feels neat. Singing songs and reading books gets more enjoyable at this age for me too. They respond and laugh, it's so wonderful. I have been thinking about how this is our last and trying to make every day count, memorizing the moments that are so tender. I then thought about jaron and when he came home from the NICU i said I would make every day count with him. And I have, he has been my sidekick since then and I have so many memories of him, yet I feel like where did the time go? I know it will feel the same with jackson and that makes me so sad. I am thankful I journal their life so i can always have their memories to read as well. Aaron asked me a little bit ago what I will do if I start to feel that baby hunger again? I said, if I do well dear then we have to do the right thing and, get a dog!

Sunny Days

I have been enjoying our sunny days so much lately and so have the kids! we love going on walks and I just had to take a picture of jackson because every time we go on a walk he sticks his leg up like this and has this "just chillin" attitude. He loves his walks.

Thanks Gerber

All my children have loves these biter cookies, and they are great but, why do they have to be so messy? Wow

Making Bread

This was the first time I had the girls make bread. I love these ages where I can do these things with them. 

What a crew

I wanted to put jackson in top but thought that might be a little tricky! these are the best kids ever!
