The Red Balloon and Blueberries

Yesterday I had to get some cleaning supplies (yes, I know shocker that I've somewhat learned to clean) at the Dollar Store. While I was in line to check out Jackson got hysterical laughing at the mylar balloons. He was amazed by them! I figure there won't be too many times I can make Jackson's day with just one dollar so of course we walked out with one. I had no idea just how happy I had made him. He played with the balloon for the ENTIRE DAY!


The beloved balloon!

Taking a break to figure out how to get the balloon under the slide.


Kissing the balloon after successfully getting through.


Admiring his adorable reflection.

This morning Jackson was thrilled to realize that the balloon was still here! In addition to him being so happy lately he's also eating really well. He has added blueberries, grapes, cheese, turkey, and many other foods to the list of what he loves. He's even happily eating my homemade baby food now!


His favorite balloon just made his morning!
