Jackson's 5th Birthday

On December 24th our baby boy turned 5. I can't believe that it's already been 5 years. Jackson entered this world 5 lbs 3 ozs and 19 1/2 inches. He is now 39 lbs (40 if he holds his breath) and just shy of 44 inches tall. He is quite the character and has made us laugh a lot these past 5 years. For his 5th birthday John-David and I put together a video presentation about him and put it to music. We had such a hard time selecting photos because this kid is such a ham. Let's just say we have a lot of really good black photos of him when we'll need them later in life:) He is such a good big brother and really tries to take care of his sisters. He has already told me that his job we'll be protect his baby brother from getting hurt after he is born. I think that will be a great job and really needed but he will love doing that for his little brother. Jackson keeps life interesting whether he is scaling a tree or a wall or dressing up in one of his costumes or trying to make a weapon of some sort out of cardboard. I love how excited he gets about learning and that he is so excited for kindergarten. I love too that he is so cuddly and lovey. He still wants to sit on his mom's lap and won't go to bed at night until you have kissed and hugged him. We love this kid and glad he is apart of our family. Happy Birthday bud!!!!

I can't believe how big Jackson has gotten. I still remember holding him when he was just a week old. Are you going to post the video you made for him, I want to see it?!
