The Big Boy Life

I don't know if it's having a 2 month old around or that Jackson is just maturing before our very eyes, but he is becoming such a big boy!!  It is a joy to watch, but also makes this momma sad to think that my little baby isn't so little anymore.  

Mommy's lunch date!  He even got to sit in the big boy chair!

Jackson wants to play with his little brother SO bad!  He just doesn't understand why Judah won't hold his cars and make vroom sounds.  So, he settles for playing with Boosie!!  Boosie doesn't cry and doesn't require absolute gentleness.

Now that the cold weather is behind us, Jackson and I have been spending lots of time in the yard.  He has been my little buddy and while Judah naps, Jackson helps Mommy weed, mulch and plant flowers.  I realized he was paying more attention to what I was doing when he 'unplanted' my mexican heather plant and brought it to me and then shoveled all the dirt from the strawberry container with his beach shovel.  We had to have a little chat about plant care. But more often than not, he gardens with his play bulldozer. 

Here he is with his favorite flower!

Jackson was recently blessed with several fun new toys from a neighbor boy.  He has been having a blast!  A log cabin/play house, basketball hoop, table, batman helicopter and bike were among the more notable additions.  Let's just say he gets a bath almost every night these days.
