northern california's landscape was everything i had hoped it would be,
and it was a treat to see my sister and meet my new niece.
{our time together was not nearly long enough}
until i get through the photos, i thought i would post this
sweet photo of jackson enjoying his first taste of sugar.
he made a huge mess...which made for adorable photos.
we had such a fun day celebrating.
~ i have a confession to make regarding this little boy.
when i first held him as a newborn, i literally felt like
i had travelled back in time to 2004 when finn was a newborn.
those memories and emotions flooded me as i sat there holding him.
i shared this with c and he looked very concerned and said "ang,
we talked about this. you can watch him anytime".
i chuckled at him because it wasn't my intention at all to convince him
to expand our family...we decided years back we would be a family of four
{with a possible furry addition someday}. i was simply sharing how surreal
it was holding jackson. i have held lots of babies since my boys were born,
but i've never once experienced strong feelings like i do with him..
i thought about it later and decided it is has to be jackson's resemblance to
finn at that age - the fair skin, blue eyes, the teeny bit of blonde hair, and his petite
frame that brought that surge of emotions on. even now, a year later, every time i
hold him, i still get that nostalgic feeling and smile.
