"Hi!"

"Hi!"

When Jasper got home from school today, David and I were both already home relaxing in the living room. David was laying down on the floor, and Jasper looked at him and said "David, I was thinking about your belly at school today, because we were learning about mass. Mass and volume, and space. So I was thinking about how much mass your belly would be." We of course burst started laughing out loud.

Walking etc.

Here are a couple poor quality videos from my cell phone, with sound.

Here is some video (WITH SOUND!) of Jasper playing at his last baseball game.

He has improved so much this year in baseball. We are looking forward to next year already.

Signups for football start July 1st. Sigh.

oops

I can't figure out how to upload this DVD to my blog. So, maybe one day you'll be able to see it, but don't hold your breath!

3 months!

Jackson is 3 months old today. The time has flown!


He had his 2 month check up (last month), and he is doing well. He weighed then 12.9 lbs.


Right now he is cooing and squeaking to a Baby Einstein DVD.


Jackson can roll over from back to tummy, he scoots, and is trying his hardest to sit up. His favorite thing to do is suck.












Here is some video evidence of his sitting attempts:

Oh, and a blessing pictures, much later:

Bath time, basketball and baby

Last week I returned to work. I have to work two full days and one half day. Really not a bad deal. It is completely necessary right now, since we need a new roof and have a completely gutted basement to finish so that Jackson will eventually have his own room.

The days that I am home, I am really enjoying it.

This was bath time last night

And then Jackson is here sleeping during American Idol.

Here's my hubby and baby watching Jasper play some basketball (Action shots do not work with this camera!).

And some fun bonding time with mom!

Merry Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was spent at David's mom's house. My parents and sisters were all out of town, which meant we only had to worry about going to one place the whole time. I loved it!

Grandma Bennett's home always has so much more snow than we do, and Jasper loved it. He and my niece Kazia spent a lot of time out sledding and having fun. Plus there is always lots of Christmas goodies, and wonderful food. Jackson was held constantly by an adoring grandmother and loving Aunts and cousins.

I wasn't the best at taking pictures this year, but here are a few!

We took all of our presents with us up to Grandma Bennett's, and here is Jasper with his stocking on Christmas morning. He made and Jackson made out like thieves! We could barely fit all of our Christmas presents in the car to take back with us.

Here is Jackson enjoying the chaos of presents being opened.

David opening his new snowshoes.

Some family time in the TV room. Jackson looks cozy.

Relaxing with Dad. . .

The car ride there.

It is now Christmas eve and Jasper is at a slumber party. Jackson is having a rough day - he just recently got his 2 month immunizations and poor guy has been crying and sad! All day he would cry unless I was holding him or unless he was asleep. I'm sure he'll be better soon though (I hope)!

And now a fun but poor quality video. Dad and baby. This is the video maker I have on my camera. It'll have to do until I purchase a decent camcorder.

Since Aunt Heather Insisted. . .

Still No Baby

Football games in the rain = cold! Jasper had fun because they won, and David always has fun watching him play. I stayed warm with a hot chocolate, blanket and winter coat.


A soundless video of Jasper doing "Husky-jacks":






And still no Baby Bennett. My doctor's appointment on Thursday went much better, and I'm all healthy and so is the baby. But he has no intention of leaving my body any time soon. It can't be comfortable in there, what is he waiting for?


Jasper has been thinking of what to be for Halloween. Here are some of his ideas:

• Grim Reaper




• Indiana Jones




• Toilet Bowl




• Zombie




• Werewolf

David and I tried helping by throwing out ideas. Here were a few of ours:

• Be the tooth fairy! He said "No way, that is something that Todd would do." (His uncle Todd dressed up like a cheerleader a few years ago, I think that is what he means)




• A pumpkin




• A Ghost

He thought these were all lame ideas. Then he comes up with "I know, I could be Michelle! Pregnant Michelle! I'd win the nobel prize for that costume." Yeah, we have no idea why he thinks dressing up like me is nobel prize worthy. Pretty funny.

I'm having fun with the scanner. Here is me as a Punk Rocker circa 1989.
