Happy 2nd Birthday

I can't believe that my little guy is two years old. These past years have gone by so fast. Jackson brings so much joy into your our family. I believe I can speak for both Ross and I that we didn't know we could love someone so much. Jackson definitely has a little bit of both Ross and I in his personality. He gets all of his kind and loving qualities from me and he's tantrums from Ross haha Ok, ok he definitely has my attitude.. There are many times each day that we don't get along because he is way to much like me :) Lucky he picked up some of Ross and he can be the sweetest little boy. A few things about Jackson: - He loves to give hugs but kiss's are rare - Can count to ten by himself.. Well for some reason he doesn't like the number 7. He always skips it and when you are counting with him and you say 7 he we say "Nope" and continue on the 8 -He thinks sleeping in overrated. - He is becoming a little talker and starting to tell you his mind - He loves the movies "Wall-E" and "Cars" - He has a very good memory. If he see's you do it once you can expect him to start doing. He can remember parts in movies that he hasn't see in weeks or even months - He can be a little scaredy cat. When something comes on a movie that scared him he will run up and skip that part. - Isn't a great eater. Some of the things we can count on are all fruits, olives, string cheese, hotdogs, pizza, most soups, eggs and oatmill -He loves everything sports. -He knows the names of most the different sports balls and know how to use them -Loves to be outside doing anything - Can say his alphabet up to "I" and then "O,P,S and,Z" -He hates getting undressed -Knows how to work the Ipad better then me and is obsessed with it - Is a mommies boy - Is way to attached to Ross and I. He use to like nursery but now screams every time we drop him off - Is a horrible sharer. - Loves to turn on and off lights - Loves to brush his teeth - He's still a cuddlier at night and in the morning - Loves to read books - Not a colorer.. We get blank papers every week coming home from nursery - Loves to dance and be swung around - He will fold his arms during the prayer but wont close his eyes and if the prayer goes to long for him he will say "Amen" and try and leave. (during conference he said amen three times before it was actually over lol) - He knows all of his basic body parts. - Famous to say "Nope, nope" when he doesn't want something and when he does we will say "um.. Yeah" -He is always making us laugh with the things he says and does Ok those are a few things about our little man. His birthday was pretty low key. His birthday day was a busy day but full of scouts activities, School party and the RS conference. We celebrated his birthday and opened gifts that morning and then the next day we have some friends over for cake. Jackson came out of his room in the morning and was so excited about the birthday sign that he ran right up to it. He also loved opening his gifts. He was so funny while opening them. The first couple were toys and he loved them but when he came to a box that just had clothes in it he would hurry and shut it saying "nope, nope" while pushing it away haha it happened every time he got clothes. I guess he only wanted toys :) Happy Birthday buddy. We are so grateful you chose to be in our family!

Loving his toys Cheesing it up while eating the beater from his cake mix Loving his marshmallow He chose to have a basketball cake.. I saw this one and did my best lol Its a b-ball going in the hoop. He was so cute when we all sang to him! He just sat there and smiled He tired to blow out his own candle but wasn't strong enough so we told him to do it again and he blew out of the side of his mouth haha We did it one more time and I helped him. When the candle went out he yell "I did it" and started clapping
