How can he be almost 3 already??

The fact that time really does fly by after you have a baby kind took me my surprise. I heard so many people say that before we Jackson. And now that Jackson is almost 3 years old I can truly "see" that time really does fly by. I am trying to be more aware of the little things in watching him grow up.

With Jackson being fully potty trained, and the way he can so clearly communicate he feelings now I feel like we have a little kid now...not a baby anymore. It's bittersweet of course but I LOVE watching Jackson become his own little person.

Jackson has become REALLY interested in the camera suddenly and if he sees it out on the counter he either wants to take pics or wants me to take his pics. I snapped these pics after he said "Momma take my pictures, I'll say CHEESE".

We've been talking about Jackson's upcoming birthday and trying to figure out what theme he wanted. Of course we knew it would be something to do with cars/trucks/trains but I was curious if he had any specific ideas. I asked him a few weeks ago and at first he told me a he wanted a McQueen birthday, then he said a monster truck birthday and finally a big rig birthday. He keeps going back and forth between them all. So I'm not sure what we'll do yet.

And now Jackson keeps asking Falkor and Finnegan what kind of birthday they want. :)
