Jackson's Fridays with Maymay and Grumpa

   







Each Friday this year Maymay and Grumpa pick Jax up from school.  Sometimes they just go to one of our houses to play and sometimes they go out to explore and play in the city.  Yesterday they went to the Japanese Tea Garden.   

A Few Firsts for Lily

This week Lily turned 8 months old... 

This is a really fun age to watch because her little personality is really beginning to show.  

She discovered the sand on the beach for the first time.  This wasn't the first time she had ever been on the beach, but the first time she really connected with it.  








She also ate fruit for breakfast for the first time.  Blueberries and raspberries cut up into little pieces.  She loved being able to do it herself, something that seems important to her in many different circumstances.  






She isn't crawling yet, but loves to sit by herself on the floor and  falls over all the time.  Last night while Grampa and Daddy and I watched, she fell part way back and caught herself with her hands.  Then she sat there and waved her legs in the air for us.
