June Bugg!

I don't think I've mentioned it before on the blog, but back in January we started calling this kid "Bugg" (hence the title of the post). Betsy had been calling him bugaloo for a few days and then it got shortened to just Bugg. The extra "g" is just for fun. It just sort of stuck. It might come in handy in the future as we have met a lot of other Jacksons and Jacks.

Anyway, on with the update.

One Eyed Jack!
Wednesday morning we woke up to a face that looked something like this.



We instantly assumed it was some sort of insect or spider bite. So Betsy took him to see the doctor and she too thought it looked like a spider bite and prescribed Benedryl and and a watchful eye. The next day it still looked really bad. So back to the doc he went. This time she suspected an infection rather than a bite and sent us to the children's hospital to see an eye doctor. The eye doctor felt pretty certain that she was lookin at an extreme case of conjunctivitis (pink eye). She prescibed antibiotics and sent us on our way. It got a little better as the day wore on. It was half open and still all red. While on our way to dinner, Betsy looked at Jackson in the rearview and started laughing. She said "he looks like Nick Nolte's mugshot.".
You be the judge.


Dead on if you ask me.

Here's Nick binging on refried beans.


So, come Friday, he was looking much better. Now he's almost back to normal. Thank goodness it wasn't a spider bite. I was envisioning necrosis of the eyelid and losing sleep.

Here he is on Friday morning. Happy as a clam. This whole ordeal hardly bothered him. It looked so painful and itchy to me, but he just kept on like nothing was wrong. He's a tough kid.




In other news, Jackson has picked up a new game. It's called "This?". He loves to point at anything and everything and say "this?" wanting you to say whatever it is. It's really quite comical. Here's what mine or Betsy's side of the conversation might sound like; "couch, eye, nose, eye, couch, couch, still the couch, knee, ear, other ear, coffee table, and so on".
Here's Jackson playing the this game in the car with a book.

He's concentrating on that bee before he goes to the next page.

Summer Time...
The warm weather is here and Jackson loves to be outside enjoying it. We've been taking lots of bike rides around the neighborhood and trips to the park and the beach. Even if it's raining, Jackson wants to be outside


Here are a few more pics and a video clip from Grandma and Grandpa B's house a couple of weeks ago.







That all for now. See you next month. *** I dont know what's up with the crazy font size. I cant get it back to normal***
