My how time flies! We've been here in DC for over a month and a half and have had so many adventures! Here are a few:
-Jackson and I have gone downtown to meet up with Grant for lunch.
-Jackson and I have visited about 12 parks in Arlington (he loves the swings!).
-We have been reading lots of books and going to the library every week. Jackson loves books ('He' got me a gift card to Barnes and Noble to get him books! See picture...)
-Just about every Sunday we've gone to dinner at someone's home or had someone over from the ward... Lots of catching up to do!
-Jackson's 6 month shots. I include this because I was so proud of him, he barely even whimpered for a second!
-Jack has developed 2 teeth- bottom front and center. It makes him look so much more grown up!
-Lots of metro riding. And people are obsessed with Jackson when we're in public! I think really they just don't see babies as much as people in Provo UT see babies, so he gets lots of attention, and just recently he has become quite bashful!
-We took a trip to Duxbury, MA to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins. It was SO much fun and very relaxing. It was mr. J's first time putting his feet in the ocean!
-We celebrated my 26th birthday (eek!). We had a blast, and I'm still enjoying the lovely lilies my husband got for me!
-I met up with nearly all of my old roommates: Rachel Cam, Rachel Ras, Erin, Allie, and Meg. Rachel Cam and Allie traveled in for the occasion, and Erin, Rachel Ras, Meg and I all live somewhat close to DC currently. We toured the Capitol together and enjoyed a nice lunch and dinner. It's been about 5 years since we all were roommates together in the Pink House!
-Jackson's just about crawling!
-Jackson has begun clapping nearly every time I sing a song (because I almost always clap when I sing!). It's too adorable.
We're enjoying every minute as we begin to feel the humidity make a move on our summer!
