Partying with Baby J

A year ago Sunday, my favorite nephew was born!
I am so grateful I got to witness Jackson's birth and be a part of such a special day. 

Something Funny I remember about that day:
When the doctor came in to break Suzanne's water, I was sitting on the couch next to her mother-in-law Marni. When the doctor got ready to do it, without thinking, Marni and I both leaned back on the couch bracing ourselves like we were in the "splash zone" at the killer whale show. We both looked at each other and laughed. What were we expecting to happen?! Needless to say, we didn't get wet. 

Sunday we celebrated with the Ashby's and it was a blast! Marlene had SO much fun playing with her cousins now that she can keep up with them. Jackson got a tent from IKEA as one of his gifts, and they had so much fun playing. Marlene crawled inside and didn't want to leave. She kept squealing out of pure joy, it was hilarious!
It was also hilarious watching Jackson eat his first cake! It was placed in front of him and all he did was lean in with his mouth open wide. It was so funny watching him try bite after bite because he was making the funniest faces too. He looked like he didn't like the taste, but couldn't stop eating. He also kept smacking the top of his cake...
I love spending time with family! I'm so glad we had this great reason to get together. Jackson is such a sweet addition to our family, and I can tell he and Marley are going to be great friends.
