It seems like just yesterday we were holding our brand new little baby Jackson. Named after my grandpa Jackson, he was the perfect baby- so sweet, peaceful and quiet. Just what we needed in a home with two big brothers! He is still a very sweet, smiley and a happy baby. What a wonderful addition he has made and what a blessing he has been to our family.
He was a wee little three months when we boarded an airplane and brought him to his new home in Portugal. Now he’s like a little man, walking all over the house and voicing his opinions in his own little language. You could say he is tri-lingual, as we have heard him babble on in baby talk, say "mama", "dada" and "ball" in English, and accompany a wave with "olá" and "tchau-tchau" in Portuguese. His favorite word is "no-no", but just because he’s heard it often when he tries to play with electrical cords, and has needed it when his older brothers have tried to take a toy he really wanted to play with.
To celebrate his Birthday, we had our babysitter and her boyfriend, our landlords, and two of their grown childrens’ families over for a BBQ. We have really gotten close to these couples and their children, and enjoyed getting to spend some time together.
Happy Birthday, Jackson!
