He took his first steps!!

Hello all! Jackson is now 10 months old. On June 18th, the day before he turned 10 months, Jackson took his first steps! And he hasn't showed much interest in doing it again though except for when he's behind his walker. This doesn't really bother us though! I don't think that we were ready for him to start walking yet!

Jackson is getting sooo big and he has such a great personality. He loves to laugh and has developed the cutest belly laugh I have ever heard. He loves to chase his Auntie Shanden around and he loves to crawl under the kitchen table and get stuck :) He wants to touch and shake everything. Grandma and Grandpa Taylor's puppy, Sophie, is very patient with him and has not gotten mad at him for shaking/tugging/crawling on top of her :) He also enjoys going on walks and watching Auntie Shanden and Cousin Jayce play softball and baseball. He's looking forward to spending some weekends with Grandma and Grandpa Briggeman in Missoula and then up at Flathead Lake!

As for Mike and I, we are doing great! Mike is really enjoying his rotation at Community Health Center in Butte. He will be there thru the middle of July and then will have one more rotation in Butte at the Walgreen's home infusion program. After that we are headed back to Missoula where Mike will hopefully be able to get his job back at the Country Club until his next rotation begins at the end of September. I will be starting school and doing that full time. I'm taking 21 credits in order to try to finish the Medical Administration program in the Spring of 2010.

We are looking forward to seeing lots of Briggeman family coming up in July in Deer Lodge and also to one of my best friends wedding at the end of July. We are so happy for Casey and Rob and look forward to all of the celebrations that are coming up! We are also very excited for the end of August when my dear cousin Sam will be marrying the love of his life, Kelly. I can't wait for another family wedding!

Hope everyone is doing great! Enjoy the latest pictures!


Happy Boy!

I had to put this pic in. It looks like Mike is about to fling the hot dog at Shanden!

Me with my little boy at his first campfire. He loved watching the fire!

Jackson and I at the top of the mountain that Mike said Shanden and I could never climb. We did it!!

Little Man loving the outdoors. He's actually soaking wet in this picture from playing in the water.

With his Auntie Shanden at her dance recital. He loved watching her dance!

With Daddy on an evening hike outside of Anaconda.

With Casey at her Bridal Shower! He was the only boy and he LOVED it!

Jackson has been waking up with some crazy hair lately! This is the best hairdo yet!
