Mr. Personality...that's Jackson's nickname this month. It seems like he has really become his own little person lately. He is engaging so much with us and with his brother. He loves to talk and does so most of the day. He has started to grunt when he sees something he wants...making it perfectly clear to us that he is ready to communicate. He is mimicking us regularly. He will do sounds, words, and gestures. And...he gives KISSES!!! Probably one of the sweetest things I'll ever experience is my baby's kiss. Some days when I come home for lunch, Jackson is so happy to see me that when I pick him up he leans in for a smooch on the lips! My heart sings when he does.
He is crawling with perfection and cruising along furniture very well. Just this past week he has started to let go and stand alone for about 5-10 seconds. He loves to be outside and has no problem getting around. He just does a little monkey walk instead of crawling...to protect his knees of course! And boy, does he love sticks! Whenever we are outside he searches for a stick to hold either in his hand or mouth.
His appetite is another thing that has grown this past month. Dustin and I are planning to have an orchard of fruit trees by the time these boys are 5 :) He is eating table foods very well and drinking from a sippy cup. He loves to take little sips of water from our glasses as well. I'm still breastfeeding him regularly which is both exhausting and gratifying. It seems like the longer you breastfeed the more tiring it becomes. But I love the intimate time with him!
He is just a sweet and happy baby. I am amazed at how fast he is growing and how smart he is! We love our "Jacka" and couldn't be more proud!
