"nini"

"Nini", aka candy, is one of Jackson's favorite things. We went to the coast this last week and here are two pictures of him opening a sucker at his newest favorite place ... the "nini store". Oh how he thought the candy store was the best thing ever! ...one good thing is that he was happy with only getting one sucker. I'm sure that won't last long.

Christmas elephant

I was looking through Christmas pictures and found this one. This was at my parents house and Jackson woke up to presents there on Christmas morning.

Also, our cat is 9 years old today. Wow, he's old!

playing

Here is another picture of Jackson with the train table. He's getting better with pushing cars/trains on the track. He can't quite put the tracks together very well yet though. He also likes stacking the trees and people.

...Oh and have I mentioned I like playing with the train table too? I have as much fun as Jackson does with it.

Train table

We got a great deal on a train table and pieces after Christmas. Jackson loves it, he plays with it every day. Here it is ALL set up when we first got it. Now we usually just play with a few pieces up on the table and have everything else underneath (having everything up is a little overwhelming).

ABC's

Thank you so much Aunt Jane for the ABC letters! They are so neat!

Here are two video's of Jackson saying the ABC's.

I love them, they look great in Jackson's room!

oh dear

Oh dear it's been a long time since I posted!

I keep wanting to post, but just don't get the time. I have a ton of pictures and stories I want to share too. ...just haven't sat down to do it.

I've been going running when Jackson takes his nap and Jackson has been going to bed later. Those were usually the times I would blog. Plus I guess I just haven't been in the mood to blog since I haven't really made the time either.

So, tomorrow I will plan on putting the pictures from my camera onto the computer and then choose at least one picture to post. That's my goal.

Just to add... I've been training for a 5k (3.1 miles) in March and a half marathon (13.1 miles) in May. I look forward to running each day and I've really made it a priority again.

cars

Jackson is really into this toy right now. He can't build the race track, but he likes putting the cars down it. We've had it for awhile, but he is just starting to get it. Lots of fun.
