This summer Jackson went to North Carolina to see Nana and Papa and to meet Uncle PJ for the first time. While he was there he spent a lot of time playing with his cousins; Olivia and Isaac. One day it was so hot Papa set up the slip and slide for the kids to play in. They had a blast! As you can see Jackson can "rock the hawk", but no matter how much fun he is having he always takes his serious picture. Jackson has become very selective with his smiles. Half our ward thinks Jackson doesn't like them because he always gives them the stink eye. Oh! Speaking of church, last week was Jackson's official first week in Nursery! Hallelujah!!! I finally get to listen to two meetings in church with out getting up to take my loud child out of the room. The nursery leader said that he did great and he was already ahead of the rest of the kids because he knew "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", and "Popcorn Popping". Luckily I was informed by one of the other moms in the ward that I wouldn't want to be the mom that picks him up last. Apparently, because I am new to this mom thing, kids love to have their mom be first to pick them up. She was right. Jackson smiled ear to ear, yelled "mommy", and then turned to smugly wave goodbye to the other kids (whose mom's were late). Score 1 for Jackson's mom!
