JACKSON IS 7

Whhhhaaaaaatttttt!  Where did my tiny, orange (he had jaundice) baby go that whimpered like a puppy?  What a fun 7 years it has been too!  Here are some highlights (some lowlights, but mostly highlights)

1.  YOU SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY - IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOO YEAH!

2.  Slept all the way thru the night at 6 weeks

3.  You said Dada before Mamma (not surprising)

4.  You walked on the weekend of your first birthday - following Papa to the front door.

5.  Little School is your favorite.

6.  You learned to talk and have worked feverishly at perfecting that skill.

7.  Repeated episodes of Pneumonia - GROSS!

8.   Snow skiing at 3

9.  Wakeboarding at 6

10.  Kindergarten - sniffle

11.  Favorite song in first grade - What does a Fox say?

12.  Big Boy toys from your father to-date:  gas powered 4 wheeler,  BB Gun, Compound Bow

13.  You hate cheese.

14.  You no longer pronounce sandwich  - schwamwitch, but I still do.

15.  You have already informed me I cannot boss your wife around.

16.  You told your dad you want to have lots of kids.

17.  Have expressed interest in being the Boss of South America so they will quit cutting down the rain forest.

18.  You take longer in the morning to eat, get dressed and brush your teeth than you Mom does.

19.  You get car sick if you play video games on Big Phone (iPad) GROSS!

20.  You continue to make your mom and dad smile everyday with your sweet disposition, caring nature and compassionate soul.  I am very proud of the little boy you have grown into and while I would like to say I look forward to watching the man emerge, I would be lying.  I would like to keep you my sweet baby boy forever.
