Happy Birthday Jackson!

Okay, so this is a little late, oh well. Jackson turned one on March 28th! We decided to celebrate it early in Utah with family. We headed down the weekend before his birthday and had a blast with both families! He had a lot of fun enjoying his piece of cake all to himself too! He was hilarious when he first ate it too. He has had all sorts of nibbles of cake, cookies, chocolate, etc, but this was the first time he had an entire piece to himself! When he was presented with the cake on his tray, he looked at it for a second, picked a tiny crumb off and put it in his mouth. Then he held onto the sides of the tray with both hands and dove his face right down into the cake! He has never once done this for any other food! It was great! Jarred was able to get some video of it, but last time I tried to upload a video, it never went through, so no video for blogger. He ate pretty much the entire piece. The only bits he didn't eat were the little crumbs and the little pieces that fell to the ground. Don't worry though, that wasn't wasted cake. Jackson's cousin, Gavin, took care of that and promptly ate those up! Jackson was especially lucky this weekend because he got another birthday party at my parents house the next day too! This time with the cake he grabbed the whole piece and tried to shove it all in his mouth at once. He was so funny and we loved that we decided to just spend time with family and get great pictures of Jackson eating his cake! We had a lot of fun visiting and spending time with our families and Jackson's cousins! It is so fun to see him interact with the other babies!



Jackson also got a table and chairs for his birthday and here was his first piece of artwork he has made using this table.


He loves sitting in his little chair and he had a lot of fun painting for the first time. Good thing I bought washable non-toxic paint. If you look closely, you can see that he tried to eat it. I'm really excited to see what other masterpieces he makes with paint and other mediums! At this point, paint is all he likes, well he does like crayons, but not for drawing just eating.
