The last week or so Jameson has had some big changes. Last Thursday, Jameson was standing between my knees. He saw Nikki on the couch and got so excited. He turned, and took off. It took about 5 steps but he made it safely without falling. I called Kevin to tell him our son actually walked, not the few steps he takes on his way to the floor but walked. He was excited, I was scared. Great, he already stands up next to everything he can, and thinks the basket of dog toys on top of the kennel is way cooler to get to than his own. He climbs on whatever he can, and will climb your body as you hold him. Well, Thursday night we went to the famous Rib cookoff! We took a few newcomers with us. I don’t know how people who have lived in Reno their whole life have never been. Last year I was pregnant and worked really close to the Nugget, therefore, I went like everyday. It didn’t help that I only worked with guys with huge appetites. 🙂 Anyways, it was also Jameson’s first trip to the rib cookoff. Kevin took the liberty of feeding him before I noticed. We have a carnivore!

   

He was also fond of the hush puppies (deep fried cornbread) and lemonade.

   

Friday, Jameson and I got up and headed to Sacramento. Not an easy task when you’re trying to pack and a nine month old is trailing you getting out everything within his reach. We hung out Friday, and then went boating with the family on Saturday. Aunt Lynn was able to get up on the wakeboard…Not bad for a mom of 2 grown girls!

Jameson chewed on his beef jerky for like an hour, content on the boat.

He loved the water. We sat on the swim platform and Jmo loved it. He couldn’t figure out why he could stand on the black part though and not the green.

Lunchtime… get some tan on those legs!

     

     

Jameson mad, because I wouldn’t let him play in Nandi’s dog crate… too many nasty things in there.

We came back home Sunday to find that Kevin had worked hard in the yard all Saturday and it looks awesome. I should have taken before and after pics, because we had weeds that were larger than the bushes, and they created a hedge next to the fence.

Jameson also had his first slurpee.

     

mmmm good! And that was our Labor Day weekend.
