Jackson has changed so much in the past year... he went from saying 20-40 words at 1 to well over 1,000 words now. He knows all his colors, shapes, and letters. He sings us songs, 'reads' (recites) his favorite books and plays pretend with us. And this summer he said his 1st bible verse, Hebrews 13:16 "Do good to others, share what you have". (Thanks Veggie Tales books!) He is running and loves to throw everything.
He is definitely looking less baby and more toddler and it's kinda sad. Dan loves how big he is growing and can't wait till he is bigger but I am desparately clinging onto the special bond we have now. He still is Mommy's little boy and often prefers me to Dan. We still have morning cuddles (because Mommy doesn't want to get up at 5:30 or 6). And Jackson loves to give Mama hugs and kisses (I'll take every one I can get!!).
I love his talkative growing nature but each day that ticks by is another day closer to the day that I will no longer be the favorite, the day where he won't want cuddles and kisses, a day I hope is a LONG way off!!
Here are some photos from his birthday celebration with our friends....
Blowing out candles
(I've taught him that fire is dangerous and he is to run to Mommy and say help, help, fire, fire if he sees a fire.... so as a result (one I won't discourage) he was afraid to blow out his candle because it had fire on it) :-)
CAKE!
His Birthday Cake (we celebrated on Halloween)
My handsome little boy!
Looking forward to many new memories and adventures in the next year!
