~lucky number 27~

Not only is your birthday on December 27th but Daddy’s is March 27th, Grandma Jackson is May 27th & cousin Alexis is August 27th. Now that is one special number!

This past Friday was Daddy’s 30th birthday. Even if we count all your fingers & toes that wouldn’t reach the number 30. So this was a very special, very BIG birthday for Daddy.

When we started dating we talked about kids. Not necessarily with each other but what we wanted in our future . Daddy wanted to be trying or have a baby by the time he was 30. Well little did he know at the time we would get married, I would get pregnant & you were be here to celebrate! See, you were thought of & loved way before you were born.

Daddy loved the present you picked out for him. He can’t wait to watch Madagascar: Escape to Africa with you. What’s your favorite animal? The giraffe with his long neck? Or how about the penguins? Do you like the way they walk?

Before we headed out for dinner I tried to get a quick picture. You decided your profile needed some attention.
After our delicious dinner the waiter brought a brownie with whip cream & a sparkler to celebrate. As soon as you saw the sparkler you didn’t look away until the flame went out. I think you’re going to like the 4th of July. Everyone carries a sparkler to celebrate.

After desert I tried again to take a daddy & son picture. You were a little more willing.

Not only did we celebrate daddy’s birthday but Grandma Jackson & Steve came down to visit & celebrate with us.

You loved all the attention Grandma Jackson gave you. She couldn’t believe how big you’ve gotten in 3 short months. On Monday you spent the full day with Grandma Jackson while Daddy & I went to work. She said you were a very good baby. You let out a very loud hiccup toward the end of the day. It was so loud you scared yourself & got upset. Poor baby.

But throughout the morning & day you smiled, told Grandma Jackson stories & showed her how hard you can kick. How fun! She even brought you some goodies during her visit. A dancing singing bunny for Easter, a couple of new outfits & a Bumbo!

We tried the Bumbo out but you’re not quite ready to sit up on your own. That’s ok, you had just as much fun sitting up with Grandma Jackson’s help.

Now, that's a happy baby!

The weekend low: Daddy is still sick. He can’t wait until he’s all better so he can kiss you all over!

The weekend high: Watching your reaction to the dancing bunny. I’ll have to take a picture next time. You looked so surprised it was singing & dancing just for you!
