The Sights & Sounds of Jackson James

Jackson is on the move -- crawling everywhere, dealing with his first tooth and enjoying many adventures like parks, beaches and play dates.

Here's a brief compilation of videos of our little guy from the last few weeks as he grows, changes and explores his world.

Enjoy!

Parkin' It

What a gorgeous day we enjoyed Saturday.

We took Jackson to Vista View Park -- LOTS of other mommy's and daddy's had the same idea. It was packed.

The little guy swung on a swing, rode a slide, crawled on the astroturf and spun a wheel on the playground.

What fun! Oh, yeah...and Jackson is sporting his first tooth. It's not an Epstein Pearl this time...

More Scenes from a Visit

Jackson's been on so many adventures lately, we had to share some more photos.

He went crazy for the birds living at the condo where my Dad and Doe stay.

He visited the beach a bunch of times and loves his Mommy and Me classes.

He's also doing this cool thing where he slides back the panels on his "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" book. He can't wait to turn the page, find the panel and slide it back revealing a new animal.

Jackson's Favorite Thing

Jacks loves the swing at Mommy and Me...and here's some video to prove it!

He's 8 months now and developing a personality and experiencing lots of new stuff. He's sitting up in his crib, making more noises and getting on all fours and rocking back and forth.

He's been loving his extended winter visit with Poppy and Gramsy -- they come over and watch him a couple of times a week, feed him, take him on walks and read and play with him.

Mere and I have been blessed by their visit.

Family Photos

While we were on vacation in Venice a few weeks ago, a friend of Meredith's mom took some wonderful pictures for us! The photographer -- Joanna Davis -- included grandparents and siblings for the shoot. Enjoy! (CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO SEE THE ENTIRE ALBUM)

Visit with Poppy & Gramsy

After a wonderful week with Nana, Aunt Val, Uncle Shawn and the crazy Aversa clan, I am in the midst of a month-long visit with Poppy and Gramsy.

Here's a few pics of the things we've done so far -- enjoyed a late Christmas, went to Mommy & Me classes and hung out at the beach.

I'm one lucky boy!
