And He's Off!

It's official!  He's off and running!  Well, not exactly running, but moving quickly.  On Sunday, December 1, 2013, while we were hanging out and playing in the living room, Jackson decided to take his first steps.  He took a few steps and then slowly sat down.  He didn't do much more walking that day and we weren't able to catch it on video but after a few days of walk with support (holding our hands), he walked again by himself.  It wasn't really until December 6th that Jackson felt confident enough to walk around by himself.  Here is a video of him on December 15th.

When this was taken he was still crawling more than he was walking but now, he is pretty much walking everywhere!  He can stand up by pushing up from the ground now and every once in a while, will really get moving quickly.  It is very exciting but we are even busier now then ever!  So much more to explore and get into!

A Little Michael Bolton Please

This afternoon Jackson was playing in the living room and we had the Bears pre-game on.  A Honda commercial with Michael Bolton singing came on and Jackson stood up and started dancing.  He is just starting to gain better balance when standing so he doesn't dance much on his feet.  When he started dancing to the commercial it was pretty funny.  He has only done this a couple other times to random songs.  We decided to YouTube the commercial to see if Jack would start dancing again and he did...again and again and again.  Every time we played the commercial and Michael Bolton started singing, Jackson started dancing.  We tried a few other songs but they didn't get the same reaction.  It must be Michael Bolton that he really likes.  Nice choice kid.
