Don't Blink...

This past Tuesday (June 22) was Jackson's actual birthday.  I tried to make it extra special, so he started off his day by waking to a decorated door, courtesy of Mommy & her last-minute make-shift decorating skills.  He loved me walking him back & forth under the ribbon streamers & letting them tickle his face.

We spent the morning playing inside and then met Ben for lunch at Subway up in Marrietta (dining choices are very limited!)  We stopped by the farmer's market to get some fresh veggies for dinner, then spent the afternoon playing with water toys out on the deck.

Around 5, we came in & I plopped him in the pack-n-play while I started dinner...and after about 5 minutes of his contesting the situation, it got really quiet.  I went to check on Jackson and he was fast asleep...amazing for a baby who NEVER naps in the pack-n-play.  The birthday boy was tuckered out!

After dinner, we let him have a second go at his cake, which he once again rejected.  I guess he's wasn't a fan of the Bloom cake, either.  Next time we'll stick to our Ghirardelli brownies that he always wants a bite of...

This year has been a wonderful, amazing blur.  I finally understand what they mean when they say that the older you get, the faster time seems to pass.  To me, each day seems endless but weeks just slip by and I am unable to slow them down.  It reminds me of that song..."Don't Blink"
