Our Jackson is 1 year old. Already. It seems like just yesterday we were anxiously awaiting his arrival. And now, a whole year has past.
He is so energetic which is why I've been way neglecting this blog. I've been to busy chasing him around and trying to savor each little moment with him. That and the fact that in July, we moved from Naples, Italy to San Diego, California. In between we got to spend some time with our extended family. Many who were meeting Jackson for the first time.
Once we got to CA and settled, Josh was told he had to go out to meet his ship and finish deployment. Trying to find my own routine with a mobile baby was hard. It was a tough few weeks. Just as I got it figured out, Josh is told they would be home soon so now I am looking forward to having him home.
Skype is an amazing thing. We were lucky enough to be able to call Josh via skype on a almost daily basis. Jackson was so cute with it. Anytime he heard it ring, he waved to the computer and said "Dada". Josh even got to see some of Jackson's first steps even though he was miles away.
I think Jackson is looking more and more like Josh every day, but everyone else says they see some of me in there. I see my attitude more then my looks. Poor Daddy. He loves music. We almost always have music on. Jackson dances and laughs and looks like he tries to snap. He loves playing with cars making a "vroom" sound as he moves them across the floor. He loves building blocks and claps and says "Yay!" after everyone he gets stacked up. And he is so proud of himself now that he is walking. As soon as he stands up he gets this big grin on his face and starts giggling. I can't wait to see what he will learn next.
Here is our 1 year old
