Happy Number 2 Jack!

Jackson's birthday was June 18th. We had a fun day. I love birthdays. The kids get so excited and are so happy to pick out a special present for each other.
We had a couple of parties but really one with presents, so that's the one I took pics of. He loved opening his presents. And yes that is Christmas paper in the picture.
We started out the party with pizza. Jack LOVES pizza.

CHEESE!

Then we moved on to his presents.
And ended with cake and ice cream. Last year he burned himself touching the candle. This year he just cried when Bo lit the candles. Maybe next year he'll blow them out. We'll see. :)

Now a little about Jackson at 2.

He counts to three
He sings to "G" in the alphabet
He gets up and wanders the house at night so we have to put up a gate to block him in
My favorite thing he says is, (after doing something crazy) "Di u see dat?" (Did you see that?)
He is all boy and started trying to jump at 15 months. And at 18 months was jumping off the bottom step of things. He is always jumping!
He had another stay at the hospital this year with RSV. I hope it was his last.

Jack loves:
To eat (One night I caught him climbing on the kitchen counters in the pitch dark to get crackers out of the cupboard. I didn't really sleep well after that until we got the gate.)
Anything with wheels
Being outside
Riding the motorbike. He is always saying, "Ride, Daddy?"
Throwing stuff (not my favorite thing)
His brother and sister as he is always copying them

We love you Jack!!! We are so glad you are in our family. You bring such a fun spirit into our home. I can't wait to watch you grow this next year!

What a cute little guy! Birthdays are a love/hate thing for me. I love to party and celebrate my great kids, but I HATE the fact that they are growig up...I want them to stay little forever.

Two years has gony by fast! Happy Birthday to the little guy! He looks like he was loving it (so it's a good thing you don't have a picture of him crying about the candle being lit). ;)
