Snow

Annika loves the snow! I do not. Thankfully, Eric is a great sport and is always willing to take Annika out and play with her while I just watch through the window.

Annika loved all the snow that we got during our last snowstorm. I think that maybe we need more insulation in our house since we have such huge icicles.

The other day Annika was begging me to take her outside and I really did NOT want to go out in the cold. (Yes, I have become a wimp to the cold after living in California). So I came up with a great idea that Annika just loved!

Playing with snow in the sink! Brilliant idea! Annika had fun and I got to stay warm.

Jackson

Here at the DeJong household we have been sick a lot lately- especially Jackson. First he got the stomach flu (along with Annika and me). Then Jackson got another bug where he had diarrhea for 5 days and he just felt lousy and now he has croup bronchitis.

Even though Jackson has not been feeling all that great he still gives us smiles and he loves to lay on his pillow pet.

Jackson is getting into mischief and loves to take my cans out of the cupboard. Every afternoon I have to pick up everything off the kitchen floor. However, I love it that he is now able to make a mess.

Jackson has finally started to feed himself and he LOVES food!



We are so excited that we are finally moving beyond baby food!. He now loves to eat bread and just this past weekend we let him eat a piece of pizza cut up very small!

Jackson always puts his feet on the table. Whenever I shove his chair in all the way he just pushes himself back and up go his feet.(:
I guess I will teach him table manners later. Right now we are just so excited with the progress that Jackson is making.
