Guess Who's 2?!?!

Yep, Jackson is now 2 years old! And..... I am also at a 2! Yesterday I went to the dr. and discovered that I am dilated to a 2 almost 3 already! Wahoo! This is a huge deal for me because even if Baron still doesn't come for another 3 more weeks, I am past a 1- it took me 2 days of constant contractions with Jackson to get from a 1 to a 2, so the fact that I am past a 1 already was the best news I have ever heard! So its looking like he will probably be an early baby, but you still never know! We just really hope he waits til after John takes the CPA on Wednesday and then it would also be nice if he waited for a couple more days after that so we could still be with family on Thanksgiving!

But back to Jackson! Yesterday was his birthday and he had a fun day! In the morning he got to play with his best buddy Jack while I went to my dr. appointment (Thank you Lisa!!), and then him and I headed over to Washington Square mall for some shopping and fun.  He got some new vans shoes, some jamba juice, which is his favorite, for lunch, he got to sit on santa's lap and get a candy cane from him, and then he got to play on the indoor play area for awhile.  After that we headed over to target to pick up a few things including a new train piece which he was very excited about, and then we went to party city to pick out a birthday balloon- he got a Thomas and friends one of course!

Later that night we had pancakes and hash browns for dinner because that is his favorite food, and then we sang happy birthday to him and he absolutely loves being sang to! He kept saying "Happy Day!", and when we finished singing and blowing out candles he would say,  "again birthday!"- so we ended up singing a lot.  After all that we all got our PJ's on and cuddled up on the couch and watched Kung Fu Panda.  All in all I think it was a fun birthday for the little guy! I cant believe we have a 2 year old already and are about to have another one! Crazy how fast time flies when you're busy and having fun!

   the birthday boy!

Jack decided that the cake needed more candles, so here he is adding more

the 2nd time singing with more candles!

Here's what the 2 year old is up to:

-He absolutely loves cars and now trains (Thomas especially)

-He talks so good now- it always surprises us when he repeats things he hears in a conversation

-He is 37" long- still in the 97%

-He weighs 28 pounds- 50%

-He loves to read books. His favorites are Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See and Go Dogs Go (he has them both memorized)

-He always has to sleep with his blanket and doggie 

-He loves playing with his "fishies" in the bath

-He loves nursery

-He absolutely loves to be outdoors running around

Thank you so much to everyone that called to sing to him yesterday and for all the presents which he absolutely LOVES! Jackson is very lucky to have lots of family and friends that love him and spoil him so much! Thanks again!
