This past week was a busy one. Jackson met his Uncle Cody for the first time, as he lives in Alberta. We also spent a bunch of time at a local campground (Byng) Jackson sat on a motorcycle for the first time (and i hope he isn't on one that's moving for another 16 years!) with his Auntie Nomi.
Of course, being the food connoisseur he is, he ate lots of Mum Mum crackers at the pool. They don't allow food, but he's a rebel like that. (And momma loves Mum Mum's, because they keep him occupied for at least 10 minutes!) He's still practicing his crawling skills, always on his hands and knees. We had a breakthrough the past week, he learned to get from his tummy to sitting by himself, and can pull up on low things. I see furniture cruising in his near future!
We have a true water baby. This pool is generally freezing, and is tolerable on a day where it's scorching hot. The days we went it was just "warm" outside. Therefore the freezing pool felt extra freezing (i should add that it is an enormous pool, more of a man made lake, the size doesn't really allow it to warm up too much) It is pretty awesome for little kids, because it is shallow all the way around the edges, and there's an awesome splash pad. For the bigger kids there is an awesome diving board. Not for Jackson for several more years. He had a blast in the splash pad though, especially the tiny fountain that was just his height. Jackson enjoying the freezing pool just goes to show you, that you really have to keep trying new things with a baby. At the beginning of the summer he hated being in water unless it was warm warm warm. You've come a long way little dude, and momma looks forward to many years of you dragging me into freezing cold pools.
