"Hello? Anyone there?" Jackson loves telephones. He carries them around the house, having what sounds like a real conversation, complete with listening pauses, short laughs and brief noises akin to "yes" and "no."
He especially loves his cell phone, which he takes with him almost everywhere. Even swinging at the park couldn't interrupt this phone call.
Jackson's tantrums have become quite dramatic. This is a "I want that camera, Mommy!" meltdown. He's cute even when he's angry!
A couple of weeks ago we had a wonderfully warm day and Jack was out in the pool having a great time.
One last hurrah with the hose before the fall weather kicked in for good. Look at those blue eyes!
We recently went to a birthday party for Jack's cousin Xandra. He had a great time in her pink bedroom. This is how he claps - one hand open, the other closed.
He also loved Xandra's birthday balloon. She's lucky he left it behind!

Cutie Pie! Jackson loves these pajamas - mostly he loves to put them on his head, pretending he's hiding from us, and running around the house. This drives Mommy & Daddy crazy because most of the time he can't see where he's going. He has a couple of bruises from this game, but it does not deter him!
Look at this nice Adirondack chair Daddy bought for Jack! He looks pretty comfy up there, doesn't he? It's just his size.
Jack is now also a big fan of the easy chair in the living room. He especially likes to get comfy there while eating snacks and watching Barney.
Last weekend we took Jackson to his first Native American Pow-Wow. There was lots of drumming and dancing.
We bought Jack some maracas and he loved banging them together to the music. You can see he took this very seriously.
While in PA a couple of weeks ago, Jack took a nice nap in Uncle Luke's arms.
When he woke up, he discovered he was at a petting zoo. He and Pop had a good time touching and feeding the goats.

Jack loved Pennsylvania and all his cousins. We look forward to going back next year!
