- Jackson has supersonic hearing and notices every airplane that passes over our house. When he hears them he points up. If he happens to not hear an airplane and we ask him if he hears one, he will point up.
- He will repeat "bath" when we ask him if he wants to take one, but only if it is truly bath time. We have tried to get him to say it at other times but he will only repeat when it is after dinner and actually time for his bath. He's smarter than we give him credit for!
- Rubs his ears when he is tired and falling asleep.
- Signs "more" for anything he wants more of (food, toys, reading a book) and if he needs help. We are working on the "help" sign. He also uses "all done" but very sparingly.
- Jackson loves to feed himself with a fork.
- He loves to eat meat but it takes him forever to chew it. He is also really good at keeping the meat in his mouth while he drinks.
- Jack loves to drink water out of an open cup. It gets everywhere but he still loves it!
- When Jackson doesn't want any more to eat he will stiff arm the food but if we hold his hands down, he opens his mouth to eat it.
- Jackson has 6 teeth now. He has his bottom and top central incisors, top left lateral incisor, and top right first molar. His mouth is looking kinda crazy right now.
- He likes to play peek-a-boo but no longer puts his hands over his eyes. They are now just on the side of his face. He can see better that way.
- Jack likes to crawl over to me and put his head in my lap to signal that he wants me to hold him upside down.
- He pulls up on everything and walks around the house holding onto things.
- J likes to open the cabinet with the tupperware and spices in it and pull everything out. I don't really mind because he always ends up putting everything back in the cabinet, even if it is very messy.
- Jackson likes to throw food on the floor from his high chair, especially when Willow is around.
- He likes to turn on our cell phones to look at the screen and the picture of himself.
- Jack loves to look at pictures of himself and look at himself in the mirror. He always smiles and laughs.
- Jackson points to photos of Arnold and I hanging up in the house and says "ma" and "dad".
- He is very chatty, saying a combination of vowel-consonant blends.
- Jackson doesn't like to wear hats but will keep them on if he's distracted.
- He loves to wear his mittens. He laughs and claps his hands when I put them on him.
- Jackson will clap when we say "yay!" or ask him to clap.
- When he wakes up in the middle of night he usually goes back down better when daddy comes into his room.
- Jack likes to throw balls on the hardwood floor to hear the sound they make.
- He has also begun rolling a ball or car back and forth if we sit across from him.
- Jackson still loves to read books but not very much when it right before bed. He would rather throw himself on our bed and roll around.
- He can stand by himself unsupported for a few seconds.
- He will throw a mini tantrum when he can't have something he wants or we take something that he wants away from him.
- Jackson is generally a very happy boy who is smiley and playful!
Here are Jackson's current favorite toys:
 |
| Fly & Learn Airplane, Sesame Street shape sorter, ball tower, orange truck, Sesame Street touch phone, Sit to Stand Learning Walker, and Farm Mash-up. |
Almost all of his favorites have buttons that will turn a sound on when they are pushed. He loves anything that has buttons and makes noise. He can put the circle in the shape sorter by himself and pull Oscar the Grouch up so the shapes fall out. He also loves putting the balls at the top of the ball tower.
Here are his favorite books:
And here is his favorite page in each of his favorite books:
Such a silly boy! I love him though! He makes me so very, very happy! All 13 months of him!
