7 Months Old and First Canoe Trip



Sunday was Jackson's 7 month birthday! Like I said in the previous (late) 6 month post, I can't believe how big he is getting. We weighed him tonight and he is 20 lbs (putting him in the 75%) and he was still about 27 inches long.


Today we decided to take him canoeing for the first time. We had already bought him a life vest


But you can see that he has grown into it a bit more.


The day was absolutely beautiful- it already feels like fall outside.


We went canoeing in the backwaters of the Mississippi River. Initially the sun was in his face, which made him very very unhappy.


And he even broke out the thumb :)


We then turned to go back and he was a much happier boy!

  2. Now I can comment....
    The picture of him with the big mouth-open smile is THE BEST SMILE EVA!
    Just so you know.
    That makes my world go round.
    Also, the lake picture is beautiful!
