Jackson's 1st Birthday!!!

Jackson's 1st Birthday started out like most days. When he woke up, Russell changed his diaper and I nursed him. (Yes, that's right, he is still breastfeed on his 1st Birthday - quite a victory!) After his milk, he and Daddy played and watched cartoons.

Jackson's birthday breakfast. We get alot of use out of the #1 candle!

8:30 and we are headed to daycare - with our carseat turned around. He was a very happy camper with this change! When we got to daycare, they were having eggs for breakfast. Jackson had eggs over the weekend and LOVED them so birthday eggs were another nice surprise!

2:30 and on the way home from daycare with the birthday balloon his teacher, Mrs.Nicki, gave him.

Playing with Daddy in the backyard. He loves his new four wheeler!

Clapping for his impressive efforts on the four wheeler!

A few more gifts from Mom and Dad.

I snapped this picture at 5:24 - the exact time he was born!

Jackson had his favorite food for his birthday - more spaghetti and a birthday cupcake.

He scarfed down one cupcake so Russell said to give him another one. I was hesitant so I gave him a bite of another cupcake. I was glad that I didn't give him the whole thing. He is STUFFED!

After his bath, the sugar high kicks in and he is going crazy bouncing his balloon on everything and tormenting Maggie. For some reason, Maggie is terrified of balloons!

Night time bottle and trying to come down off of his sugar high!

A year ago today was truly the most special day of my life! I can recall every moment of the day Jackson was born. It feels like it was only yesterday. It was nice to remember those memories and to make new memories on this special day!
