Action Jackson Hopes your Holiday Weekend is out of this World

‘Cause that’s just how he rolls — as you can clearly see by his shirt ! 🙂 Best wishes to all, whatever you’re celebrating this weekend. xxx K, M and AJ

Flash back to when I had free time…

Anyone with any experience with kids can probably tell you one universal truth: once they’re in your life, wave goodbye to your free time. Unless your hobbies include “washing bottles and filling them with milk!” or “taking out the trash full of poopy diapers before gagging and passing out from the odor!” or “adding texture […]

Action Jackson: taking a bite out of babyhood!

Well, it’s happened, our baby is no longer a toothless, drooling infant. He’s now a “tiny bit of tooth showing” drooling infant! When I picked him up a daycare yesterday Carileen his main provider told me “he has a tooth showing.” “How exciting,” I thought, and I went over to see. He and I played the […]

Action Jackson: a day in the park

Yes it’s true: as our boy gets bigger, we try to keep exposing him to new and exciting things. Let me clarify, age appropriate new and exciting things — we will not take him bungee jumping or skydiving any time soon. It was lovely weather here the weekend of March 28th, and so I put the […]

Action Jackson’s 7 month doctor’s appointment update

If you’ve been paying attention, then you’ll have noticed something: the boy keeps getting bigger. I’m serious. When he popped out — with some pushing on my part, and yes, I’d still like credit — he was a scrawny wee little guy with spindly legs and bug eyes. We feared we would break him if […]

Action Jackson: California dreaming? No California Reality

We did it! Instead of taking the boy out of the country to see new things, we took him to the other coast, the West Coast, or the Left Coast as those too kewl for skool sometimes call it. We had a great trip – we saw lots of our friends in the Bay Area, […]

AJ: from scrawny baby to chunky monkey in 6 short months

Well, it’s happened – our baby is officially halfway through his first year today. I can’t believe it’s been six months. Everyone always says “enjoy it, it goes fast”, and while we were slogging through those brutal first three months, I kept thinking “fast?!?! What kind of evil and deluded person calls this fast?! I’ll […]

Action Jackson: there’s never enough time yet they grow up fast

It’s true, we haven’t blogged in awhile. We’re aware of the issue and we’d like to fix it, but that would require more time, and that’s one thing that seems to be in very short supply lately. I’m back at work pretty much full time now, Mike’s been at work full time since week 3 […]

Cherub Action Jackson says…

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!! To ensure that you have a happiest of Valentine’s day, Jackson has completed the critical shake and taste tests. Fortunately for all of us, even at his tender age, he realizes nothing beats empirical data. We are happy to report he has concluded that it is a Valentine’s Day of the highest […]
