Counting to 20!

Jackson has been continuing to learn his numbers. At 14 months he could count to 13, now he is progressing up to 20. He's still having a little trouble past 13, as all the numbers begin to sound the same to him so 13 is 14, 15, 16 and so on. Here's a little video of him counting. You'll see he gets a little distracted in the middle:-)

Jackson is 18 months!

Wow, where is the time going... my baby is becoming a boy... then he'll be 18 and grown before you know it. I know I have said this before but I just still can't get enough of him. He truly brings me sunshine everyday!

Well he's almost 22 lbs, I know only in the 5% range but it's because of his lean diet, meat veggies and fruit, and almost 31 inches. He's talking up a storm, we believe he will be the social butterfly. He loves telling people "hi" when we go out, especially kids. I feel bad sometimes because he's so excited to tell people hi, sometimes they don't hear him. I also took out his potty to see if he is interested since he knows when our dog and we go potty. First day I took it out he told our nanny, "potty" and she put him on his potty and he went #2! He's done it one more time... we'll see how it goes.

His favorite things right now...
- my wallet - he loves to pull the credit cards out and give them to me. If he can't get them out he grunts and fusses until I help him.
- randomly counting - i'll here him, say "five four three two one" just out of the blue, or count real fast to 10.
- Dr. Seuss books - if you show him the covers of the books he can tell you what books they are, Hop on Pop is his favorite
- Beans- can't get enough of beans, and given a choice will pick beans over fruit!!

Here are a few pics with him at the park with his friend Zoe..

Jackson Can Count to 3!

Jackson is one smart cookie. Here he is counting to 3 at 14 months!! We've been practicing a little with him, so when we say one he says two then we say two and he says three. He just can't get his fingers to go past one but I'm sure he'll pick that up soon. Look out Harvard:-)

Jackson's 14 months!!

Jackson turned 14 months this week. Key milestones:
- He got his top two teeth New Year's eve weekend, that makes a total of 4
- He has learned how to get off of couches and beds by turning on his stomach and
pushing himself down until he feels the ground
- After months of sign language for the word "eat" he is finally saying it
- His vocabulary continues to amaze us, now he can repeat almost any word you say
- He loves to walk around pointing 1 finger in the air, we've now told him that
means one, so now when we start counting he puts up the 1 finger for one1

Horsey, Lions Oh Boy...

We've been practicing saying animal sounds and movements with Jackson. Here are a couple of his favorites...

A Day at the Park

Today we went to the park and Jackson had his first adventure on the swings. Jackson absolutely loved the swing and swinging high. This was also his first time sliding down by himself and he of course loved it.
