AND HE'S OFF...........

Ladies & Gentleman, watch out! Jackson's been practicing for the last 2 weeks and is now an official card-carrying member of the Walkers! Does this mean he's no longer a baby and is now a toddler? (sob, sob, why must he grow up so fast?). Wow - just when I think I've gotten everything out of the way, he's in to even MORE things!

We had a fun visit to Ridgeway to stay with my folks while Jason was up in DC for NIH grant review. We got to go to the pool and visit lots with Sweetpea. I had a free day and evening shopping with Jo & Eliza, thanks to Grandma and Poppa. The weekend ended with Eliza's graduation from high school - and Jason was able to join us for that. Jackson did great and clapped through most of the ceremony.

Today, he got his first balloon while we were shopping at the LiquorBarn. He's played with it all day long. I dread the moment if & when it bursts!

Fun in the Sun for Casey's Birthday!

On Memorial Day, we went to a birthday party for one of Jackson's pals, Casey. We were out at the UK Farm, where AJ, Rodney & Casey live. It was hot, hot, hot that day so the kids loved cooling off in the pool. We all got a kick out of them in it together. At the end of the party, they were quite pooped as you can see from the Dads, Babies & Bottles picture!

Backtracking to Mother's Day

Although this entry is out of order, I wanted to share some cute photos of my Mother's Day outing with Jason and Jackson. We went to a local winery here in Lexington, Jean Farris Winery, for a tasting and brunch. It was a lot of fun - a gorgeous day - and Jackson seemed to really get into the tasting as you can see. I guess you can say he's got the taste for it as some of it may have at times ended up in his breastmilk if you know what I mean. ;-)

My First Blog Entry - Jackson's first Artwork

I thought it would be fun to blog about our going-ons with Jackson. He amazes us everyday with the new things he's learning to do and say. Enjoy!

Last week, Jackson and I attended his very first art class. He mainly wanted to eat the sponges but we ended up with what I think is an impressive piece of work! It's like a Renaissance painting where you may not know for sure who's hand did what...the master (Jackson) or his apprentice (Jackson's mommy).
