- We now have a fully walking little boy! He walks non stop and now that he has the confidence to do so, he rarely crawls. He thinks he is big stuff too and does NOT want help from mommy or daddy when it comes to walking.
- This boy is constantly chatting! I wish I knew exactly what he is trying to communicate because he always has something to say. I can often figure out what he wants from pointing or whining, but other time he repeats words (like "bo-coo"?) over and over. He is saying a few more things this month. His favorite word at this time is "uh-uh-oh." He also says a lot of animal noises in reference to the correct animal!
- Jackson is all boy for sure. He is starting to climb on anything and everything. He is very much attracted to stairs. We do have a gate on our stairs, but just yesterday he learned he could crawl through the cat door on the gate to get upstairs. We are in trouble!
- Independent. This kid is becoming more independent. Not to be misleading, he still cannot technically do anything for himself, but he wants to do what he can for himself. He doesn't want anyone to hold his hand when walking. He likes drinking his milk alone. If he is trying to accomplish a task he wants to do it without anyone's help.
- With that said, he continues to be a very determined kid. When he wants to do something, such as climb in his chair with a giant stuffed dog and three other toys at the same time, he will work until he gets it all by himself.
- Jackson has begun to show off for company. He seems to enjoy when people come over and is always happy. When a new face walks through the door it almost gives him an extra burst of energy! He begins walking all over the house just smiling and playing hard. He doesn't stop to visit just moves like crazy!
- Listening is getting better. He will follow some commands and is learning a lot of words. He knows "no" but doesn't usually listen to it. We are working on redirecting him so that we are not constantly telling him no.
- He is a little sponge just learning and observing so much. He is picking up on eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and hair right now. He also picks up animal sounds quickly. Sometimes he will repeat colors but I don't think he is close to really knowing any. Little smarty!
- Jackson is fully weaned now and seems to love his milk. He continues to be a good eater most days but does have a picky day every now and then.
- Sleep and naps remain the same.
- No new teeth, although he has molars that are very close to cutting through!
- His favorite toys/objects include books, his chair, his big stuffed dog, any ball, his car, tupperware, the laundry basket, and kitchen utensils. He also still loves our pets and is obsessed with ALL animals. He loves seeing other animals on walks, reading animal books, and playing with his toys that are animals. We've even caught him trying to share his milk or toys with the cats a couple of times!
We sure do love this happy little fella!

Jackson loves riding on this car so we try to take a stroll through the neighborhood with the car every morning.
Just sitting in my big boy chair, playing on my lap top.
Playing with the barnyard animals!
Drinking his milk while lounging on his big puppy.
Enjoying some outdoor time!
This sweet face melts my heart. LOVE.
Playing with his little friend Charlotte. Man, I thought it was hard to try and capture one kid sitting still - try two! Every picture I took of these two, at least one of them is blurry!! ha
Watching daddy and Cooper out the window.
"Mom, this spatula is way too big to eat with!!"
Cruising through the neighborhood, hair blowing in the wind.
Sharing his toys with Jack (Jack is a friends dog that stayed with us last weekend).
As you can tell, he is being very helpful with the laundry. He is keeping a pair of socks and the basket warm!
Drinking while driving....at least it's just milk. Silly boy.
