The Birthday Boy and More...

It is so hard to believe that Jackson just turned two! He is such a fun and happy little boy! He brings such joy to our lives and we thank God for him daily. Here are some random facts and his 2 yr stats:


* He still LOVES playing outside


* He is very helpful. He likes to help with whatever Walt and I are doing (raking leaves, sweeping, giving Dillan a bath, cooking, etc.)


* He can count to 15


* He is talking a lot and is always saying things that surprise us. It is amazing how much they pick up without you realizing.


* Height: 33.5inches (25th percentile)


* Weight: 26pounds 6ounces (25th percentile)


* Head: 48cm (25th percentile)

Dillan still doesn't have much hair :)
Jackson likes sitting in Dillan's bumbo seat and lining up all of his cars on the tray

Dillan's turn in the bumbo seat :)

Jackson wanted a dinosaur birthday party. So we made dinosaur cookies and decorated them. Please ignore the mess in the background :)

He had so much fun!

I also made a dinosaur birthday cake. I am not good at things like this, but thanks to the betty crocker website, I was able to pull it off :)

I also found edible dinosaur decals that we put on some of the cookies.

When Jackson saw the cake, he said, "BIG dinosaur!"

When I asked Jackson who was coming to his birthday party, he said Sutton and Ayla. Thankfully he was right :) Here are his sweet friends.

Dillan slept through most of Jackson's party, but here he is all bundled up to go outside.

Jackson riding his tricycle. He thought he needed to wear his hat :)

Dillan has started eating solids. So far he has liked everything he has tried (rice cereal, oatmeal, peas, carrots, sqaush, and apple sauce).



Eating can be messy though :)




Jackson likes to dump lots of things in his tent and then get inside

Dillan LOVES the exersaucer! He really likes to stand up.





We have a ton of leaves in our yard and Jackson loves playing in them!

More fun times in the exersaucer

Dillan is getting so big! He is wearing 6-12 month clothes. He is such a happy boy...he laughs a lot. I need to get a video of him laughing because it is the cutest thing!



This was his first time to wear jeans. He looks so old :)

Playing on the gym mat. I love his little face.



He is so sweet!

Awhile back, I tried to get a picture of them in the big brother / little brother shirts...I really didn't get a good picture so I thought I would try again...they turned out pretty cute.

Jackson still likes getting in the exersaucer and lately he has been piling all of his balls on top
