Photoshoot

We had a little photoshoot for daddy's birthday- and surprised him with some framed pictures. They did amazing- we got some great shots in 5 minutes! Addison was very ready for a nap so we had to act quick & very silly! Heather took them while Parker & Ashton helped make them smile/laugh.
We've had an eventful month so far. Addison went to the dr. yesterday for her 6 month check up- 20lbs, 28" long- 100 percent. I consider that a perfect score :)
Jackson has been enjoying swimming lessons. Tomorrow will be his last class unless we sign up for more. Yesterday he swam about 10 feet all by himself- under water! Pulling and kicking away. He comes up with a smile on his face and you can hardly hold him before he heads back into the water. He is so eager when it comes to doing anything in the water.
Jackson is in love with going to the "new lot"- construction of the Figueiredo's new house. They are pouring walls tomorrow so it will be an exciting day. So far, he's gotten to see the high-lift work the dirt, dump trucks w/ gravel, pumper truck and the concrete trucks all hard at work. He still talks about Daniel (the guy w/ the high-lift) and wonders where he is and what he is doing now. Last week he saw the pumper truck (yes, he knows what a pumper truck is!) going down the highway and he starts yelling "its going to the new lot, its going to the new lot!!".
Addison is moving all over the place. She will sit up and play w/ toys for a few minutes and then she is ready to be on her tummy moving around. She doesn't care for baby toys- she prefers trucks, papers or about anything that isn't her own toys. She is really starting to form her own personality and likes/dislikes. I'm very afraid...
