Camping

Our chuch had a father/child camping trip this past Friday night. Lilly was sooooo excited to go camping with her Daddy. My Mama and I were VERY worried about this. Jonathan has never had either of our children all night by himself. I only agreed for Lilly to go because she will tell me everything and she is able to tell Jonathan everything she needs. My Mom gave her all sorts of rules that Lilly was able to recite by the time I got home on Friday and they all ended with "Tell Daddy".

Needless to say after all the worry, Lilly and Jonathan had a great time and she was not involved in any drama that may have occured. The biggest event of the night was having to potty in the woods. Jonathan discovered that this wasn't that easy for a girl. Lilly had a cot and slept just fine. Jonathan for some reason decided not to take an air mattress and didn't sleep so great. I for one was glad to see them come home!

Jackson 11 Months

It is hard to believe my little fellow is almost one. He has such a sweet personality that I hope he keeps forever!! He will follow Jonathan and me around the house with his arms outstreched so we will pick him up. He loves to be held which is a problem seeing as he weights 25lbs. He LOVES to be outside and as soon as Jonathan picks him up he will point towards the door and grunt. I feel certain he will not talk because he pretty much gets what he wants by pointing and grunting. He also LOVES to eat which is obvious by his weight. There is no food he has yet to not eat. His clothes are the exact opposite of Lilly (tall and extra slim.) Jackson has short legs and his belly hangs over his pants. Much like an old man with a beer belly. When you take his clothes off he will walk around and rub his belly. He is now giving kisses, which are full of drool, but oh so sweet.

Lilly Dance

Lilly choose to take dance over gymnastics this fall. I was a little disappointed, but let her have her way this time. She has wanted to take dance since seeing Sydney's dance recital. After her first class I asked how it went. Her response "Fine, but I didn't get to dance on stage." She is ready for the end product.
