Jackson had a well baby check a few days ago, and I am happy to report that he has finally moved to the 50th percentile in height and weight and is still steady in the 75th for head circumference. He has been in the 25th in height and weight for the last year, so I am excited!
He has really started to show a lot of "sass" in the last month. Tonight I showed Amy a look he gave me and she thought it looked just like me! As sassy as he can be, he is also very sweet. I find myself torn when it comes to discipline. When I get on to him and his reaction is a hug, it makes me melt. Although the times I tell him no and he either laughs or does it again I want to scream! After getting on to him I find that I have to turn my head so that he doesn't see me laugh. His reaction is so funny sometimes.
Jackson is definitely a little boy...he loves to play outside, and he loves cars and trucks. He makes a "vroom" noise to anything with wheels. Yesterday at the grocery store he would point to a cart and make that noise! He has a big, healthy appetite, and will pretty much eat anything that we are eating. He also has a taste for Grandpa's coffee! He has not mastered using a spoon yet, but he will pick his food up, put it on his spoon then get it into his mouth.
He is good about following one step directions, and is getting the hang of two steps. He loves to go and get us a diaper when we ask, and he is also trying so hard to communicate. He says several words now: mama, Dada, Hazel, Amy, Ayla, Ma (Grandma) Pa or Papa (Grandpa), Nana, waffle, Jackson, shoe, sock, tractor, truck, mooo, poo poo. Not all are perfectly clear but we can understand them. He will also mimic words when he is in the mood, but it's up to him! Today he said my name (thanks to a girl I work with) and Texas (a very important word)!
My favorite time is when he is sleepy and just wants to cuddle. He will sit or lay in my lap and play with my hair. Justin is the "baby whisperer" though! He is so good at getting Jackson to sleep. It's ridiculous really!!
Justin has been enjoying his job. This week his company participated in the Parade of Homes, so he was busy all week preparing for that. Work has been great for me! I am booked most days and really enjoy it. On the days that I'm home, I have been working on projects around the house. I am constantly "on the go" with something or someone! Hope you enjoyed getting caught up with us!
XOXO

All boy he certainly is, but he has a huge tender side to him that I hope he always has. I love that adorable way he smiles and give hugs. He's so random sometimes when he wants to give them, but I'll take 'em any time that precious boy wants to give them to me! Yes, Sarah, it's 1:53 AM, and I am going to bed now! :+]
Oops, I noticed a typo... I meant "gives" hugs... instead of "give" hugs. What can I say... It's almost 2 AM. ;+)
