Tulips Tulips Tulips!

Hope still only tolerates Jackson...but it's progress!!!
Hello friends.  We are settling in for a hot summer here in Dallas.  Jackson has been quite the traveler since his birth.  He has been to TN 4 times and then Lake Tahoe.  His only destinations  for a while will be to the closest pool in town, local farmers market, and the Dallas Arboretum.  We welcome all visitors, but we will be staying put for a few months!!  We had some recent visitors a couple of weeks ago.  Jackson's Gran Pat and Momma Z and Pappa Z all came to visit.  They had a blast watching Jackson learn to eat and helping him to sit up on his own.  He really made some progress with all the attention.  Poor thing. Now he is stuck having to sit by himself and learn to crawl all by himself!!  I'm not sure if he can do it without his grandparents by his side!!  Ha Ha.  Just kidding.  One of the things we did while they visited was go to the Dallas Arboretum during the Dallas Blooms Festival.  The tulips were beautiful and made for great photographs.  Gran Pat brought the Easter outfit she made for Jonathan 27 years ago and it fit Jackson perfectly.  I made a slideshow of our day.  It came out a bit blurry but you'll get the idea of how our day went.

Rice Cereal Anyone?...



Hey everyone, Jackson hit another milestone today in taking his first bites of semi-solid food. Up until now, it's been all mommy-milk, but today he got the scrumptious treat of dried infant rice cereal mixed with mommy-milk. Dad resisted the temptation to try out his son's new food, but he'll probably do it before too long. The video is kind of lengthy, so don't feel like you have to watch it all. We left it long for Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles to see more of the dramatic action. Enjoy the video and our love to all! -Jonathan, Holly, and Jackson.
