Easter Highlights

Jackson was so proud of the Easter bunnies we made.
He was a man on a mission on the egg hunts! (Well, the first two anyway. The third was more like a stampede and he preferred being held.) He filled up his basket so fast I kept taking eggs out and throwing them so that the other babies could get some too.
Jackson doesn't eat candy or sweets and is used to eggs being stuffed with coins, bubbles, stickers, balls, etc. We were at an Egg Hunt and I asked him what was in his egg, when he opened an egg and found wrapped candy he looked at me disappointed and said "trash". Later I asked him again to open another egg to see what was inside, he opened it to find a melted piece of chocolate. He looked at me completely disgusted and said "Ugh, poop!"
This was his expression when he spotted the Easter bunny.
SO excited to have found two golden eggs!
Easter morning Jackson was thrilled to discover that each of his eggs had four quarters. He loves putting money in his piggy bank. Ask him what he's saving for and he'll tell you: "cottage" (college). :)

"Hop- hop"

Jackson LOVED meeting the Easter bunny. He's been talking about him since. He can't wait to sit in the "hop-hop's" lap again!

Sweetest Boy in the World

Thought I'd share a few of my favorite pictures from the past few weeks with you.

For any of you who may have read Jackson's eighteen month entry, you may remember that I turned his car seat around (front-facing). A week after doing this the new AAP guidelines were released and I turned him back around. He doesn't mind a bit.
Jackson loves playing in Daddy's closet. He entertains himself in there while I get ready. This day, I think he brought all the toys from his toy chest with him.
