Happy Birthday, Jackson!


3 years ago today, God blessed us with Jackson Henry!  He was born at 10:49 PM, and our lives have not been the same since!  We are so in love with our sweet little son, and we can't get over how old he is!
 
  • He is the sweetest little boy!
  • He loves his Daddy, Mommy, and Sissy!
  • His favorite foods are: roasted broccoli, pasta of any kind, pancakes, and vanilla milk.  He also loves sweet tea--because he's a good ol' southern boy!
  • He has known all of his letters for about a year now, and within the past couple of months, he's gotten down his lower case letters!
  • He talks up a storm!
  • He loves building blocks, playing with puzzles, lining up his race cars, and reading.
  • He loves singing "Jesus Loves Me," the "ABC's," and "Old McDonald."  When we sing "Old McDonald," he always includes at least 6 cows, and a few days ago  he wanted a moose on the farm!  (Mommy doesn't know what sound a moose makes so I made something up!)
  • He says "hi!" to everyone--even strangers at the grocery store.
  • He holds Mommy's hand at dinner when we are saying grace, but truth be told, he's usually started eating before grace is even finished!  Sometimes, he'll say grace--"Dear God...mumbling...Amen!"  It is so sweet!
  • He loves watching and playing football! He and Daddy throw one of his footballs around every day--usually while Mommy's cooking dinner and then again right before we tuck him in bed each night!
  • He has great manners.  He'll say please and thank you.  When he really wants something, he'll tell you, "say pwease".  I love that his "l's" are "w's"!
  • He loves bath time!  He really enjoys playing with his letters in the tub as well as splashing and swimming!
  • He thinks that Daddy "fisses people boo-boos at da hopsital".  He says this every time Daddy's at work!
  • He loves giving headbutts, squeeze hugs, and blowing kisses!
  • He says, "I wove you!" and your heart melts!
  • He is such a wonderful light in our family, and we thank God each day for him!
