Jackson's Luau in Pennsylvania

Jackson had a wonderful day today celebrating his first birthday with friends and family at Nana's house in Pennsylvania. Here are just a few pics of the special day!

Many firsts this week!

Jackson had many firsts this past week. His first present to open for his birthday, he has started to climb stairs, and first ride in a truck at the store. The pool floaty outfit is a must because he seems to just want to go into the water head first. Therefore, I went out and bought this not so trendy watersuit in case he jumped in. And lastly, Jackson loves ice cream!!!

Cousins, Balloons, and Water

Here is Jackson hanging out with Pappy Coover and Christine and his cousin, Chance, at Red Robin.

A sunny day in Ocean City, Maryland

Ocean City, Maryland

I know, I know, I live in Hawaii but I still need to go to the beach! Beaches in Hawaii are beautiful and its paradise but I still love to go to Ocean City. Jackson is chillin in his shades on the boardwalk and hanging out with his uncle Tyler.  Nana took him on the ferris wheel and let him pick up ducks. He loved his prize, the big red ball.

Jackson 11 months old!

Jackson is 11 months old and looking more like a little boy and less like a baby. It is amazing how the year has gone by! Here he is in his new Nike sneakers walking all around with the help of a chair. He is cruising but not taking any steps by himself yet. Check out his hair, we may need a haircut real soon!

Our first day in Pennsylvania

Jackson did a great job on the plane! He sleep maybe 2 hours out of the 11 hour flight but was a happy camper. He just received this laugh and learn puppy and is trying to burn off some energy and snuggle at the same time.

Just hanging out in the backyard...

Jackson's early birthday present

What can I say? Our little boy loves water so Grandma and Grandpa Staffaroni gave Jackson an early birthday present. Mike rigged up the hose so it would constantly have water to fill the pool.

Our Little Snuggler

Jackson loves to play with stuffed animals that make noise. He has learned how to push the buttons and then he will snuggle with it while it plays music. Jackson just does it over and over as you can see in the movie.

Hot Summer Days

A fun way to beat this summer heat!!!

Pool Party

I have realized that all I need at a party is a place for Jackson to play in the water. We went to a Baby's First Birthday on Sunday and thank goodness they had a little pool for Brooke and Jackson to play in because it definitely entertained the two of them! Jackson was not interested in posing for me today, but Brooke was all smiles.

Water, Water, Water

The past weekend was full of fun! Jackson and I went to the pool for a "girls day" while the boys went out for a bachelor night. It was fun and quite entertaining watching the kids all play in the grass or shall I say trying to make sure no one falls in the pool or hits each other (look at Brooke). Pretty much the kids are on the move and it is harder to take photos of them all in one place.
