We're Back!

We're back!  Finally!  It has been WAY too long.  I can't believe it has been 2 and a half months since I posted last.  This is not ok.  There is so much to update on, I don't even know where to start.  Let's begin with video.  Here is Jackson playing.  He is now 19 months old.
Jackson is doing so much now!  He talks all the time and definitely has preferences for just about everything.  The words he has now are:

  • mama
  • dada
  • Willow (wiwo)
  • nana
  • papa
  • grandma (mamama)
  • grandad (dadada)
  • yes
  • no (mo)
  • up (upa)
  • down (ddd)
  • bath time (ba ba)
  • thank you (tha tha)
  • uh-oh
  • baby
  • hi!
  • keys (ca ca)
  • car (ca)
  • dog (huh huh) like a dog panting
  • duck 
  • basket ball (ba ball)
  • ball (ba ball)
  • water (wawa)


Jackson also knows the sounds that the following animals make:

  • dog
  • cat
  • duck
  • cow
  • sheep
  • goat
  • horse
  • pig
  • elephant
  • tiger
  • lion
  • dragon
  • dinosaur (the last four all make the same sound)


Jackson's favorite foods right now are:

  • milk
  • cheese
  • strawberries
  • ham
  • beans (any type except the green ones)
  • olives (green and black)


Jackson's favorite toys to play with right now are:

  • balls
  • bubbles
  • drawing
  • Duplo Legos
  • puzzles

  • Farm Mash-Up and eggs















Jackson also loves to vacuum as can be seen in these action shots.
 

Jackson loves taking Willow on walks.  It usually takes us about 20 to 25 minutes to walk 2 blocks and back because of slow walking, trying out different surfaces to walk on, feeling the tree trunks, and pointing out every moving car, truck, van, bus, airplane, and helicopter that goes by.  (That's a lot when you live in the city.)

Jackson also still loves to read books.  He prefers board books and likes to read really any book.  He will read the books independently but loves when read to.

Jackson really likes brushing his hair, putting chapstick on, and putting lotion on my legs.

(I have to say, I feel like I'm writing a personal ad for Jackson and for all my SPED people, I'm writing his PLOP).

Jackson LOVES to dance and listen to music.  He likes Jim Gill's songs and Super Simple Learning songs.

Jackson gives us kisses AND hugs now, which is the best!  Now we're just waiting for the "I love you".
