Surviving the snow!!

The snow has finally melted in Atlanta! After our 4 inches of snow, the city was pretty much shut down for a week. I guess the 10 snowplows we have weren't enough :) We spent a lot of time sledding and playing in the snow, which was so much fun! Jackson loved to go sledding. The only problem was he wouldn't keep his gloves on. He would be so cold when we were done that his lips would be blue, and we would put him in the bathtub to warm him up. Jackson had his 2 year visit today and got two thumbs up. He continues to be tall and skinny. He is in the 75 percentile in height, and we have moved up in the weight department to the 20th! Yay!! I think he probably would have been even higher in the weight category if he hadn't been vomiting and not eating for the last week. He is really talking a lot. His vocabularly continues to amaze me. Things I would never believe he would know, he does. He got some animal flashcards for his birthday and loves going through them. It is so funny to hear him say octopus and yak! The other day we walked outside and he heard the choo choo and he said "I hear a choo choo train!" I couldn't believe that my 2 year old said a complete sentence! Jackson has also really started to use his imagination. He is currently obsessed with his gymbo clown so we have to brush gymbo's teeth, change gymbo's diaper, give gymbo bites of food etc. He is still very indepedant and wants to do everything by himself. He has learned what it means to take turns and is starting to understand what it means to share. The other day we were at Champion Kids and Jackson was going down the slide into the foam pit. Once he was done, he sat on my lap and said "it's her turn" to a little girl. It was too cute!

The crew before we left for the big hill around the corner. It was so fast that we quickly realized it was for adults only!!

Woops! Jackson did a lot of this with the ice.

Weeeeee!

First solo ride! I couldn't believe how much he loved sledding!

Do we have a bigger hill? This is getting boring.

Jackson and daddy going down the big hill by our house. Hold on!! Notice daddy had to put his feet on the ground to keep them from going way too fast.

My sweet little boy.
