You put your clothes in your hamper, get your dishes out for meals, follow directions, go up and down stairs without help, you know animal sounds, are starting to count and so much more.  You learn so quickly we are so proud of you!

He had a great party thanks to all of his friends and family who helped him celebrate!  And a big thanks to a friend who took all the pictures without her we wouldn’t have had any.

Jackson’s 2nd Birthday

Can’t believe my little man is already two!  Where has the time gone?  After all the craziness with the new baby we wanted to spend the day of Jackson’s birthday enjoying all of his favorites.  The fun started a little early when the UPS man delivered Jackson’s birthday present on Friday afternoon.  Once Jackson saw the picture on the box he couldn’t wait to play or should I say jump! His friends have the same one so he new exactly what it was.

So we let him test it out before bed. 

The next morning the birthday boy came running out to make sure his new present was still there.  He was ready to enjoy his birthday breakfast, his favorite, pancakes!  Dad even made them special shapes.

After breakfast there was more jumping of course!

After a little bit of shopping to get Jackson some new clothes we headed out for lunch.  To Pizza Hut we went to get Jackson’s very own personal pepperoni pizza!  He was in heaven!
