Happy Birthday Jackson!

This year has been so amazing. Here are a few things you are up to these days.

1. Your favorite foods are carrots, spiral pasta, mandrin oranges, green beans and of course cheerios and ritz crackers.
2. Your favorite toys are any kitchen utensils and pots and pans.
3. You love bath time.
4. Your favorite fort is the dishwasher.
5. You love your bed. You never cry when we put you down for a nap or at night.
6. You have 7 teeth.
7. You are trying to walk but still not quite ready to let go of my hand.
8. Your best friends names are Will and Jasper.
9. You love for us to read books about animals.
10. You love doggies.
11. Our nicknames for you are J-train, J, Tooter, Toots, Stinker (see a trend?), Buster Bear, Buster Robbins (no idea where this one came from....), Baby, Steve (another odd one), Boo Bear
12. You hardly ever cry.
13. Your Daddy has wanted to cut your hair for about 6 months now but I won't let him.
14. You love to play peek-a-boo.
15. You can say Da Da, Ma Ma and Do Do (Dog).

You make your Daddy and I so happy. We can't wait for you to wake up in the mornings and we are bummed when we have to put you to bed at night. You can make our entire day with one of your perfect smiles. Being your Mom and Dad has been more wonderful than we ever imagined. I thank God each night for every hair on your head. We love you sweet boy!

This is Jackson's birthday present from Marshall and I. I wanted to get him a simple wagon for me to pull him around the zoo. Marshall insisted on getting the canopy and trailor. Jack loves it.

Jack was a few days old here.

Jack and I Easter morning. He was about 2 months old here.
Jack all grown up!
Love, Leah

Leah and Marshall,
I can't believe he is already 1. It doesn't seem like it has been a year. He is beautiful. Congratulations!!
