Jackson's year of plenty!

As I thought about the last year in how Jackson's grown and changed, one thing has stayed the same...he can be as sweet as pie most of the time. He really is a good boy, very obedient, and for the most part, a peacemaker. I was laughing tonight, as once again, Max was "picking" on him, and once again, Jackson was doing nothing to retaliate back. He doesn't usually hurt Max on purpose, and is a very big protector over his brother. And he prefers playing with Max most of the time. This is all very sweet for me to watch as a mother of them! What was funny though, on Max's birthday, Jackson says to me - very concerned..."Mom, is 3 still older than 2?" "Yes, you are still older than Max, Jackson..." "Good, I can still beat Max up then..." was his reply. (I couldn't stop laughing, only because he doesn't ever beat up Max - especialy because he's "bigger" than him!) And even if he did, I know Max can hold his own - from experience! Jackson, we love you, and are blessed to have you as the oldest of our family!

One thing about Jackson...he can take some pretty cute pictures! I don't know how sometimes, but he sure has some great moments! -May, 2007


Jackson took off with swimming this year - all on his own. He has become a great swimmer, and was so much fun in the pool this year! -June, 2007

Jackson's favorite person in the whole wide world, and partner in crime!

This is a face we're unfortunately seeing more and more...it's not my favorite, but it's definitely one that's a Jackson trademark.
