Our Little Talker

Boy has Jackson really taken off verbally this month. He has several words and maybe even two-word phrases that you can make out clearly, and other times he just babbles nonstop about something...he just has so much to say! I love that he is able to say new words almost every day. You can really tell that he understands a lot too. I'm guessing he says about 25 words right now but the list is constantly growing! Here is a list of his current vocabulary:

Dada, mama, hi, buh-bye, bubbles, baby, ball, basketball, football, bananas, bite, milk, car, cat, kitty, dog (gog), duck, pig, turkey, cheese, poo-poo, Ky-ky (Kylie), Cor-Cor (Corey), Gigi (his great-grandma), Bampa (grandpa), something that resembles graham cracker, pumpkin, meow, moo, baa, and he can snort like a pig! He also points to one of us our pictures and says something that sounds like "that's mama" or "there's dada!"

It is so much fun to watch him learn and take in new words. He can follow some simple commands and tries to repeat so much right now. Of course, he still does not understand no, or chooses not to listen to us. We try not to overuse "no," but he loves to open the trash can and sometimes pull stuff out and he NEVER listens when we tell him to stop. He will look at us and shake his head no but keep on what he is doing. So frustrating! Other than that, he is a pretty good boy!

He remains a sweet, happy, caring, curious little guy. He's still climbing and getting into everything. He loves to be outside and to run around like a big boy. Jackson seems to be a little tender-hearted and gets upset when other kids get upset. He is also unsure of other kids touching him. We continue to go to Gymboree classes weekly and try to go as often as we can to play in their gym or get together with friends for play dates. He loves his mama dearly and still climbs on me several times a day to give hugs. We are practicing giving kisses - he will kiss his toys some, has kissed Max once, and every once and a while gives me one. :) Love it! He continues to sleep great at night and for most naps. Food has been a bit of a struggle this past month - some days he doesn't eat much at all and other days he eats well. He is much pickier about what he eats though. We miss our boy who ate anything and everything! Jackson greatly enjoyed the fall time with all of the pumpkins. I'm looking forward to the holidays and seeing his reaction to all of the decorations.

We love this boy more every day and cannot believe it has been 3 months since we celebrated his first birthday. His personality gets more fun every day and we truly just have the best time with him. Thanks for all of the joy that you bring to our lives little man!



Jackson and I went to our friend Merrick's 4th birthday party - it was held at Monkey Jo's, one of the bounce house places. All he cared about was climbing on this Bob the Builder ride and running around. He did not want to be on the bounce houses at all! 


A cold day at the park but still loved being outside! 


Playing with daddy at the park. 


Jackson loves to use his basketball goal as a chair and then pulls this toy up to him so he doesn't have to stand! haha


Judging from this picture, you'd think Max actually liked the boy. Nope, still hates him. 


Our cool little man in his shades! 


Found these two best buddies playing in the play room before bed a couple of nights ago. The dog loves his boy. :) 

Thanks for reading - love to all!
