Fall.

Now that the weather has started to cool down Jackson is really enjoying being outside. We go for walks every evening. Sometimes he'll nap in his stroller and sometimes he'll just watch the world passing around him.

Jackson can sit up all by himself now. He is very good about steadying himself on his arms. He can he bend down and get something and then sit back up. Now that he can sit up he hates laying down. He will lay on his back and kick to scoot himself around to get toys, but after he gets bored with that he just wants to sit up. I don't think he'll be a crawler. He generally doesn't have an interest in things that are out of his reach.

Jackson is on to two meals of solids a day. One in the morning after he wakes up and then one just before bed. He really loves eating solid food. We started working on drinking out of a cup. So far it's just making a huge mess, but he'll play around with his sippy cup for awhile.

He has also started babbling like crazy. He can say ha, ma, hi, ho, mo. He's getting close to saying mama. But whenever I say "Jackson can you say mama?" he just smiles and blows raspberries.

We took him to the pumpkin patch. He had an absolute blast!! He enjoyed the hay ride and the train ride. But he did not enjoy putting his head through the pumpkin!
