Music and Jackson

"Wash, wash, wash your hair all day long. Wash, wash, wash your hair while we sing this song." This has become one of my favorite songs. The other night I was sitting on the couch feeding Jackson, and I was listening to John and Abigail sing this song while giving Abigail a bath. It's a song that John made up for bath time. Abigail went through a stage where she hated to have her hair washed, especially when John did it, so he made up this song and would sing it to her while washing her hair - while she cried. :) But she has come to love the song and the tradition of singing this with Daddy while he washes her hair.
She is such a lover of music. The girl is ALWAYS singing something. If she doesn't have a song in her head to sing she will simply make something up. This morning I went to get her out of bed and feeling lazy on a Saturday morning I crawled in bed with her to cuddle for a while. I started humming a song. When I would stop she would ask me to sing it again. She also loves to dance with her music.
Lately she has been carrying around random books (that she pretends are song books) and singing with them. The other day she grabbed a Country Western Hymn book (this was actually a song book), one of her purses (of course), and the stroller. She informed me she was going to "Bible study, church, and small group." She then marched with purpose over into the kitchen. Next thing I know she is sitting on the floor in the middle of the kitchen holding her hymn book open belting out a song I did not recognize at all - something completely made up. The only word I could make out was God. So I know it was at least some song of worship. :) I wanted so badly to sneak in some video footage, but of course I was feeding Jackson. Plus I selfishly did not want the moment to end. It was so cute and fun to watch. I knew if she caught me videotaping her she would stop.
Sometimes I feel like my butt is permanently planted on the couch, and all I do is feed! Jackson - the kid loves to eat! He is just huge. We have a doctor appointment Monday, and I am anxious to see how much he has grown. I tried putting some pj's on him last night and literally had to like pull and stretch on them to get them zipped. And I just washed them the other day! So I know he has worn them within the past week!
Here is a cute picture of him figuring out how to suck his thumb. Not sure what to think about this...he has been working so hard at getting his thumb. I think it would be hard to break the thumb thing but frankly it's been hard to break the paci thing too, so which is the lesser of the two evils?

Here is a cute picture of John and Abigail together Saturday lying on the couch watching football (John was in heaven - it doesn't get much better than cuddling with your daughter while watching football in John's eyes. :))
