Jackson's 2nd Birthday

We got him a basketball hoop. He LOVES basketball right now so he was pretty excited!

We went to the Zoo for Jackson's birthday. Grandpa Matt, Grandma Kathy, and Aunt Lindsay came with us!

This ball is always a kid favorite. Animals? What animals? There is a ball and water here!!

Grandma and Grandpa got Jackson his own bike, so now he doesn't have to ride Cressida's old pink and purple one that I ran over with the car.

But this was the most favorite! Aunt Lindsay totally hit the jackpot with this one. We have to bring it in the house when we are not outside. He sits in it to eat, to watch cartoons . . .

My sweet boy is not a baby anymore. He is the most polite kid EVER. He never forgets to say thank you. He even says it when we put him to bed! He might be the only kid in history to do that! He is a peacemaker and really good at sharing. He loves to give hugs, especially to Cressida. He LOVES babies and is so sweet with them! (Good thing since we have one coming.) He is such a BOY. He loves all boy things, cars, balls, dirt, sports . . . He is a rough and tumble kid. He loves his mommy the most right now, he is my little cuddle bug. He is definately a bright spot in our lives. Okay, before you start to think he is perfect, remember, he is two. He gets easily frustrated by things he can't do and when I can't understand what he is trying so hard to tell me. He can hold his own in a fight with Cressida. And for better or worse he is extremely independent. We love him so much.
