A bunch of Randomness... but mostly the little man!

This morning I woke up to this: This is a momentous thing because from what I heard it is very rare to see this beautiful white fluffy stuff here in Tennessee. It came down good for a while and it really was fluffy pretty snow. I thought about going out with Jackson to play in it, but then I thought, "Nah, we are both in our Jammies and we haven't eaten breakfast, and its nice and warm in the apartment." Plus Jackson wanted to "watch a movie" so we cuddled up and did that instead and watched the snow fall from the window. An hour later the sun came out and now it is almost completely melted besides a couple of spots where there is still a little skiff on the ground... Tennessee snow for ya.
Jackson is so funny because he just started doing this thing were he wants a movie. He'll go up to the DVD cabinet in our entertainment center (he can't get into it though because it is child proof), then he'll pull out the drawer with the DVD player in it, then once Justin or I starts to put the DVD in the player he runs over to his chair so that we can move it and put it in front of the TV; all the while he is saying "movie" (it sounds more like miii, he can't quite get the "ove" part of the word). Anyway, it is really cute. The only movies he really watches are Baby Signing Time or an animation movie my Grandma Gardner got us called Scripture Bugs. He loves those ones.
Jackson love his mommy! In fact this is what I hear all day long, "Moooommy, mommy, mama, mommy." It is so cute! :) I got a video of him saying it. He says it in the video, but he usually says it so much more. I love these pictures in this layout because he is starting to do things to be like mommy. He got this vacuum for Christmas and it is such a cute toy. When he pushes it along it sings songs and makes other noises. The other day when I was vacuuming he was pushing his vacuum around too.
In the second picture he has on my fuzzy slippers. He loves to put things on (like shoes/hats/necklaces etc.) and my fuzzy slippers are the best for him because he can actually walk around with them on.
Enjoy these videos:
1- saying mommy
2-showing his body parts. My camera died in the middle.. he knows almost everything on his body. My favorite is when I ask where his tongue is.
3-walking around with my slippers

"Hey Gackon!" That's what Easton said when I asked if he wanted to write a note to Jackson :) He LOVED watching these videos... he kept saying "more Gackon". Jacks is so, so cute. It's crazy how much he has grown up since we saw him last... I can't wait to see him (and you too... hearing your voice made me think about how much we miss you guys)!!

Oh my GOODNESS! those videos are TOO cute! I love his little voice. And...Just so you know, I am positive that him and Hallie are meant to be. as I was playing the videos, she was in the swing behind me just chilling and then when the first one started, she heard his little voice and started cooing. So then I go her out of the swing and sat her on my lap to watch the rest and she was enthralled. Yep, she loves him already.
