Jackson's 5th Birthday

Today is the 5th Birthday of my nephew Jackson Reggie Williams. He is a special gift from God.
His middle name comes from his Uncle Reggie who Jackson never got to know. Reggie lives on in Jackson. He likes dinosaurs and playing with his friends and cousins. He used to like Bob the Builder but he is too old for that now. He loves his Grandma Dee and Grandma Franco and his Grandpa too. He has lots of aunts, uncles and cousins and gets to see them often. He is a product of two wonderful parents Terri and Rodney. He is a big brother to his baby sister Madeline. He likes the quilts that his Aunt Cyndee makes for him. Jackson will be going to kindergarten soon and he is growing up to be a wonderful young man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a cute baby!!

Jackson and Aunt Cyndee at Potter Park Zoo. This sign must have been especially for us. Jackson is quite musical.
He loved the harmonica that he got for Christmas one year. All the cousins got harmonicas. Aunt Cyndee got all her nephews musical instruments one year and they enjoyed making music.

Posing for Aunt Cyndee.
More.
Again,
Again.
The sad look.
A happy look.
An angelic look.
More posing.
A worried look.
Again.
He's silly.

Break dancing at Aunt Cyndee's party.
Some smooth moves.
He was really enjoying himself.
Quite the entertainer.

He was all over the floor.
Where did he learn to break dance?
He is really a good dancer.
He just kept going and going........For the past 10 months or so Jackson has taken on a new role as a Big Brother to his baby sister Madeline.

I've met this young man - he certainly is a cutie - Happy Birthday Jackson from a friend of your Aunt Cyndee.

It is neat to see how Jackson has grown --- and, yet, there are the remainders of that cute little baby. Happy Birthday to Jackson --- he has many fans from his Aunt Cyndee's friends.

It's hard to believe he was once so tiny...always cute, but so tiny. Grandma Franco enjoyed reading this as much as Jackson and I did.

Thanks Aunt Cyndee!
