ONE!

Little baby Jackson is no longer a baby. I can't believe how he's grown and changed from the very first picture we saw of him. What a blessing he has been to our family.

Thank you, Lord, for bringing our baby boy into this world, and for orchestrating all our lives in such a way that allowed us to become a family.

The day we met (almost 7 months old)

My big, darling, snuggly, silly one year old boy today!

Birthday Boy

My little baby Jackson is turning one today! I'm so excited about the new ways he's finding independence and love seeing him change and grow. I've told many of you how I really wanted him to start walking before he turned one. Well, the little stinker took his first step this morning! Nothing like waiting til the last minute! We had a sweet celebration just the four of us. Here are some pictures so you can see what a big boy my big baby has become!

A present from mommy and daddy...

... that he totally LOVES!

He was so mad that he had to wait for his cupcake!

Jackers and Mama

My silly boys!

Cute, even covered in cake!

The first step you see him take on this video is the second step he's ever taken in his whole life! How cool that we got it on video! (And by the way, the stuff on his chin is ice cream that he was eating right before we started the video!)
