Jackson

In the next couple weeks its not going to be just Jackson anymore-Cody will be entering this world, and our lives are going to change again.  I wanted to take a moment to share some of the things Jackson is doing right now. (Thanks for your 18 month Emma post-you inspired me, Leanne) Jackson is learning so much and growing everyday.  He always surprises me with the things he knows and says.

At 19 months, Jackson, you:

~ love the moon and stars and every night we go outside to look for the moon and say "night night moon"

~ know a lot of colors-red, geen, lellow, blue, orange, black, purple

~ know almost every animal and the sounds they make

~ eat a lot fruit, cados (avacodo), toast, eggs, and have to have ice water, milk and  apple juice at every meal.... you might be a bit spoiled

~ Thomas the Train is your favorite, it always seems to be on in the background, and when I don't even think you are paying attention and it shuts off you stop what every you are doing and say "more choo choo". Percy is your favorite of the trains.



~ whenever we say "smile" you give the biggest grins and show all your teeth, which you almost have all of them now, we are just waiting or 2 eye teeth to come in

~ you have to have your blanket and all your animals whenever you go to sleep or leave the house ("blank", cow, monk and monk (blue and brown monkeys), "mam" (lamb), giraffe, and Bubba the bear)


~ you love to run, but fall down a lot, you have had several fat lips and teeth going in your lip, and you always have skinned knees




~ you love to play ball with dad, and you tackle him so good.  "down, set, hike", then "run, run, run"


 ~ I love your laugh when we wrestle and tickle- it is contagious!

~ you do have a bit of a temper and let us know by hitting, crying and throwing a fit when you don't get your way...we are working on that one

Jackson, you are so much fun.  I love every night when we get to sit on the couch and snuggle and read books, lots of books, then you give the best hugs and kisses before you go night, night.  I cherish every moment we get to spend together. I love you!
