A look back at Jackson

Here are some picture from birth to now at age 2!! We had your birthday on 3/28/09 and the theme was "Balls, Bubbles, Balloons". The family celebrated your birthday at our house. You had a fun day!!

Jackson is 2 (on March 30th)

What can I say, but that you have been such a blessing to our family. You are WILD and keep me and your family running, but you are such a happy child. You run everywhere you go and you will try to climb on anything. You do have a temper when you don't get your way!! It seems like yesterday you were born. You have such a great personality and are sooooo loving. I can always count on you to give us a big hug and kiss. We love you Jackson...Happy (belated) blog birthday post!!! Here are some things about you.
Wt: 28lb 13.5oz (as of 4/22/09)...60%
Ht: 35.5inches....................65%
HC: 19.9inches
Clothing: You wear mostly 2T, but 3T if running small. You were a size 5 in diapers. You were a size 7-8 in shoes
Eating: You LOVE to eat. You love bananas, green beans, pizza, chips, ice cream, and donuts. You love your milk and love to drink Capri Suns like you brother and sister.
Sleeping: We just made your crib into a toddler bed (since you were jumping out). Since then it takes you a long time to go to sleep, but you stay asleep all night!! Your bedtime is ~7:45, but it takes at least an hour for you to go to sleep (usually longer). You still take naps, but we try to limit them to 2 hours.
Talking: You can/will say anything and everything!! You will just talk all the time. You also love to sing. Your favorite songs are: twinkle little star, BIBLE, Shoo Fly, Deep & Wide
Misc: You still LOVE your pacifier and you know where we keep the extras!! I'm working on just nap and nighttime paci's, but you are attached!! You are urinating on your potty some, but not consistent. You love your "Abgail" and "Bady" so much.
See below for pics of the b-day party!!

The dreaded FLU!

The past two weeks have been rough around my household. First, Scott got the flu, then he passed it on to me a week later. I don't remember ever having the flu in my life, but it is horrible. I had to miss a week of work. After a week and 2 days, I'm finally starting to feel back to "normal"....whatever that is!! Thankfully, my kids are doing good and are still staying healthy for the most part.

Abigail's gymnastics meets

We have been busy this winter going to Abigail's gym meets. I take pictures at every meet, but here are a few of the better pictures. She really loves gymnastics and we are very proud of her. The competition season ends next month, so maybe we will slow down for alittle bit.:)

Abigail's "accident"

Last Tuesday I got a call from Abigail's school letting me know that Abigail had cut her head open and I needed to pick her up. When I got there Abigail was acting fine and they had stopped the bleeding, but it was deep enough to need a staple. She said that she was just walking and "not paying attention to where I was going" and hit a wall. I still don't understand exactly what happened! Anyway, we went back up to the clinic where I work and they put the staple in her head. She was so brave...she didn't make a peep. She even said to the doctor "that didn't hurt that bad"! I'm thankful that she wasn't hurt any worse than she was. Here are a couple of pics of her "accident."

Jackson's haircut

I know Jackson is almost 2, but he has only had 3 real haircuts. He has fine "duck" hair and it is really hard for me to keep it tamed!! These are the pics from his last haircut. He did really good this time and actually stayed the whole time in the seat. He was given a sucker while he got his haircut, so he was really concentrating on finishing it! We love you Jackson...you are growing up so fast.
