Happy Birthday Little Monster

For Jacksie's 2nd Birthday we had a monster theme.  He was so cute, but didn't really understand that the gifts were for him.  Tanner has the ability to convince Jacksie that all things are his, so we had to help him understand that they were for him.  My guess is this is the only birthday we will ever have to do that.  We had to have a couple of runs  at blowing out the candles because he was a little scared at first, but by the third time he got it!

Weight 24 lb 10%
Height 35 in 75 %
Head 19 in 50 %



Crazy that it has already been two years since we brought this sweet little boy home with us from the hospital, but it is also hard to remember that there was ever a time without him.  He is just as sweet as ever and has a smile that can melt anyones heart.  He is FULL of personality and life.  I remember before he was born Brad and I were worried that our new baby could never be as funny as Tanner.  Well they are both the funniest little boys ever and together....it is hard to stop laughing.  Every night before Brad and I go to sleep we sit and talk about all the funny things Tanner and Jackson said and did throughout the day. Here are a few other things that Jacksie loves at this time...

-Tanner:  Jackson LOVES to do and say everything Tanner does (it is a good thing that he is a good little boy).  He also loves to  do everything that Tanner is told not to do, so it has its pros and cons.

- Loves his  crib:  He will wake up and talk for a while, sing, and take care of his kitty (it is really a fox).  When he is ready to get up he will yell, "I done sleeping now."

- Your welcome translates to "gum gum."

- He is not the bravest little boy and does not like anything fast.  At Disneyland he would hold my hand over his eyes and here he hates to get on the  tractor or 4-wheeler.

- Hats: he likes to wear all hats backwards and usually has at least 3 stacked on, it is very funny.  However, he does not want to wear hats out in public.

- Has potty training down  good all on his own.  He loses interest based on what is going on during the day, but he has done it all himself.

- His nickname is Jacksie boy and so he has put this ending on all of our names...mommy boy, Tanner boy, daddy boy etc.

- He is a little tattle tale on his dad and will come and tell me whenever he gets in trouble.  He hasn't learned that if it hadn't been Brad getting him in trouble that I would have.  He also blames his dad for everything.  If there is a toy missing or if he has something hurting it is always his dads fault.

- When he gets in trouble he thinks that if he talks in a soft high pitched voice he can get out of it.

-  He is very independant and plays with toys so cute.  He manipulates things and will make a game out of anything.  Some days he will focus on stacking all the DVDs or will make a line of them accross the house.

- He also likes to steal certain things and has very specific hiding places.  He will get my mascara and hide behind my skirts or he will get Brads toothbrush and hide behind the laundry basket.  This does NOT make his dad very happy, but it is hard not to laugh at.  He also gives himself away because all we have to do is call out, "la la la" and he will respond, "la la la."

Jackson is a VERY happy boy and we feel so blessed that he is ours.  He makes me feel needed as a mom and he is so sweet to everyone.  We all LOVE our little Jacksie boy and could not imagine a day without him!!!!

Disneyland





























This was such a fun vacation!!! We have not stopped talking about it since we got home and I am sure we wont stop anytime soon.  Tanner was such a good sport and went on everything he was tall enough for except Splash Mountain (it was brokem).  He loved them all except Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain.  I don't think that he will be returning to them anytime soon.  Jacksie, like his mother, did not really like anything that went fast or un high.  He was so funny about it.  The first ride that we went on was the spaceships that go around in a circle up high.  He started to cry and so I covered his eyes and from that point on if I took my hand off he would put it right back on.  His favorite was the carousels, which was perfect because there was rarely a line and I could take him on a bunch of times while Tanner and Brad were on a bigger ride.  I really cannot express how much fun we all had.   Seeing the characters was so fun and since we have gotten home Tanner will dress up as a character and will come out to have his picture taken with people.  Jackson also left with a crush on Minnie Mouse.
