Happy Birthday, Little Man. Daddy and I love you so much. You are such a joy to be around. When you were younger, you were very laid back and just an observer. You still observe before you dive into anything, but when you dive...you dive headfirst (literally). Lately, we have had to both be in the bathroom when you are bathing, as you will dive headfirst into a toy, the tub, or your big brother Charlie. You are going to be our little athlete, we think, as you will throw anything (food, balls, toys, etc.) with great aim. This weekend, Big Charlie remarked that you might be a pitcher. You are a great napper (unlike your big brother). When you are tired, you put your head to one side of your shoulder, and we know that you are ready. We put you in your bed and within minutes, you are snoozing away.
Jackson, we want you to love others like you do now and to love God with all of your heart, mind and soul. God has entrusted you to us, and we pray for you daily. Always love others first and put their needs in front of your own. Stay close to Charlie and to your other dear friends and family. Charlie and you have a special friendship. He makes you laugh like nobody else. You love waking up each morning and seeing Char Char in your room. I pray that you will stay close to him for a long time.
A lot has changed in a year when we were fearful that your little lungs were not quite ready for life. God has blessed you with a healthy first year (after a little slower start). Daddy and I are thankful for you and all of the joy that you have brought into our family.
We love you so much!
Mommy and Daddy
