Then and Now

For the last week or so Marty and I have taken several trips down memory lane. We can't believe our sweet boy is one and we feel so blessed to get to be Jackson's Mama and Dada. We feel so incredibly lucky; Jackson has always been an amazing baby, great sleeper, has been very healthy, and is just a happy kid. 

Jackson brings so much joy to our life and makes us laugh everyday. He amazes us every day with how quick he learns things and while we have our moments of missing him being a little baby, we look forward to all that life has to bring our family and watching our boy grow.

Today we had Jackson's 1 year check up and his Dr. was very pleased with his growth and development. He was a bit grumpy because he is getting at least 3 teeth right now but he was still able to show off some of his tricks. He also got 3 shots today, you would think these things get easier as time goes on but I still dread when he has to get shots. 

Here are two more photos, one from the day Jackson was born and one from him at his birthday party. It's amazing/crazy how fast they grow and how much they change. Though, there are still times when I am looking at Jackson and I get glimpses of that hairy little newborn he once was. :0)

Jackson on the day he was born. 9lbs 2oz 21in long.
Jackson now, 24lbs 30 3/4in long.
