This week was pretty hectic at the Teach household. Jackson has turned into quite the little terror on wheels. You would think that I would just not put him in his walker, but I'm not quite prepared to handle the total meltdown that would follow by not putting him in his walker a few hours a day. Here are just a few of the things I spent the week doing:
1.) Picking up smashed crackers off the floor that were ran over by the walker
2.) Taking the drawers completely out of the stand in our dining room b/c he won't stop puling them out when he's in his walker
3.) Getting my ankles smashed into about 25 times a day b/c Jackson hasn't quite learned how to put on the brakes when he is getting ready to run into something. It is full throttle at all times. (On a side note, Jackson was racing towards me so fast today that I actually had no other choice but to spread my legs and have him go through them like some kind of three-ring circus. He is a mad man!
4.) Un-lodging the front of the walker from under the kitchen cabinets (see #3 to reference how a walker could gets itself lodged under cabinets- full throttle)
5.) Being unsuccessful at going to the bathroom by myself because Jackson has learned how to maneuver around the small hallway that leads to the bathroom with his walker. Do you know how hard it is to pee when you have an 8 month old and a dog staring at you the whole time?
And then there were other things, like ...
1.) Having to separate Jackson and Oliver (our dog) b/c they can't keep their hands/paws off each other
2.) Being thrilled that Jackson is saying "ma, ma" but not so thrilled that he only says it when he is really mad and screaming. MaaaaaaMaaaaaaa .... MaaaaaaaaMaaaaaaa ...
3.) Giving Jackson macaroni and cheese for the first time and finding pieces of it for days in his hair.
4.) Rescuing Jackson multiple times because he found himself up on all fours and didn't know how to get down.
Here are a few pictures from our crazy week.
Being on all fours is fun for 2 minutes, then it is scary.
YUM- Mac and Cheese. Note the fluffy white dog right by the high chair

Even though the week was challenging, I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else but staying at home with Jackson. Even when he is a terror he is still the cutest guy I know :)
