Luv you

You say those three magically words to them from the first moment you lay eyes on them! " I Love You" . You say it when you tuck them in to bed at night! " I Love You". You say it just to let them know you care and are there for them! " I Love You". You say it just to say it! " I Love You".

But the moment they say it back whether they know the meaing of it or are just repeating it because you say it so many times to them in a day; it still is a very special moment that brings tears to your eyes and has you scooping them up in your arms, hugging and kissing them and remembering the day they were born. You forget all about the trouble they get themselves into and just savour the moment hoping it will last forever!

That was morning today!

Jackson runs into the kitchen at full tilt grabs hold of my leg and says "Luv you". What more could you ask for!

The Dentist

So we've hit another milestone and that is the Dentist! Jackson went for his first check up and cleaning yesterday and it was awesome! He was such a big boy! He actually sat there and let Kathy clean them and he also let Dr Pineau check them. I was very impressed with how good he was about the whole thing!

Poison Control...How can I help you

Jackson and I had one of those days today! Every time I turned around he was into something! The fridge and split milk, I got to him before the eggs were smashed! Daddy's deodorant was smashed everywhere, flooded the bathroom floor with water and used a half a bottle of soap to wash his hands. The list goes on and on!

The worst was the bottle of fragrance oil that was sitting way up high on the hutch where Jackson had to scale the change table then the hutch to get to it! I was down trying to get some laundry done, when I came back up he's outside on the deck playing, the bottle is in the diningroom on the floor empty! I paniced trying to find out where he dumped it! Thinking he drank it called Poison Control to find out later on that he had dumped the bottle all over his clothes on the change table!

Thought I was going to pull all my hair out today!

Hopefully we have a better day tomorrow!

Spencer...did he just say Spencer

I am so excited, we had another great day at Lasalle Splash Pad with Daddy, Nana and Nanu! Jackson is so confident in the water now it's crazy! He lies on his belly now and puts his face in the water without a problem, it's so great to see! He enjoyed the day swimming and chasing the seagulls away and playing at the playground! Daddy pushed him really high on the swings and he just loved it!

So I haven't mentioned it here as of yet but we added another addition to the family on June 14th, a little boy named Spencer. He weighed 8lbs 12 oz and he is so cute! (I will definitely get some pics up here as soon as I can!)
But we have been trying to get Jackson to say Spencer's name but all he calls him is 'my baby' when you ask him who Spencer is. Which is extremely cute as he now thinks every baby he sees is his baby! So when we were at the Splash Pad today Nanu asked him who was in the stroller and instead of saying 'my baby' he said Spencer! More drawn out like Spen SOR but still he said his name which is awesome!

I tell you everyday Jackson amazes me with his vocab always adding new words and phrases or with a new physical feat he has mastered! I do have to say that one minute I am so excited for him and the next I am sad because my little boy is growing up and before I know it he won't be my little boy any more, so I enjoy and savour everyday with him because before too long these days will be gone!

Just stay calm and hold your breath

Another milestone has been achieved in the Farrugia household! Jackson is now swimming with a lifejacket on all by himself! It is so great to see and a little nervous at the same time, but he so much more happier swimming in the pool not having to rely on others to keep him afloat! He goes from one end of the pool to the other and even jumps in all by himself! He just needs to remember to hold his breath when he goes under!

Mama, Mama come here the car!

So Jackson has had me in tears (of joy) a couple of times this week! He is growing up so fast it is scary!

I was getting him into his car seat the other day so we could go out and my car was parked on the road in front of the house! So as I was standing up from getting him all buckled in a car went whizzing on by me and Jackson yells "mama, mama" and reaches his arms out as far as he can and frantacly tries to reach for me so I lean back into the car and he grabs me and pulls me in tight and gives me a big hug and tells me that he's saving me from the car that just went by!

Can you believe that! His exact words "mama, I save you from that car". Just typing about it now is bringing tears to my eyes, I couldn't believe how he wanted to protect me from the car that was coming down the street and how hard he hugged me wanting to make sure that I was safe and sound! What a wonderful little boy I have and I wouldn't treat him for anything in this world!

He finally said his name!

So I am pretty excited to report that Jackson finally said his name! I know to some it may not be a big deal but to me it brought tears of joy to my eyes! Ever since he's been able to speak I have always tried to get him to say his name and for some reason he does not repeat it! And only calls himself "me" which is still cute to hear him say but I have always wanted him to be able to say his name. Well Thursday we were at Nana and Nanu's and Nanu was bugging him and calling him a different name and he kept saying that's not my name, that's not my name and Nanu asked him what his name was and he yelled out "Jackson"! I thought I was going to keel over from hearing him say that! It was such a proud moment for me to hear him say it! He then repeated it another 3-4 times!

I cannot believe how far he has come in his speech it is so awesome!
