Happy New Year! Let me start by saying that blogging more often is NOT one of my new years resolutions. Life is just way too busy right now, but I'll try to get a few photos and updates on here every once in a while.Jackson is almost 19 months old. Amazing! We're almost done counting his age in months, hooray! At least I can tell people he's 1 1/2 years old.... no one believed me when I said he was only 1. He is about 30 pounds, has a full head of hair (well, always has), and is also very tall for his age. He can almost reach the light switches to turn them off! If it weren't for the babbling toddler talk he could pass for being about 2 1/2 or 3. I just love and adore my big little boy!
Well Thanksgiving and Christmas flew by in a blur. We enjoyed both holidays here in the TC with our families. Jackson was spoiled rotten by everyone. He now has a train set, a ride on dump truck, a cozy coup (and gas pump), a few new stuffed animals, a computer, a play tent, books, clothes, and several new toy cars and trucks. The house looks like a toy store.
Jackson is prooving to be a strong willed little boy with an occassional temper tantrum and an Iwannadoitmyself attitude! haha! Everything from wanting to feed himself with utensils, to deciding when he wants out of the bath (he'd live in there if I let him) to letting me know he wants me to read a certain book again! He's quite a handfull but we love him. He's got a softer side as well... he hugs and gives nose kisses to his stuffed animals and gives everyone kisses when he's saying bye bye. He cries when Grammy leaves and loves to tease his Cappie and Meme. My favorite is when Sean asks for a kiss and he refuses and then leans in and offers me one... to make him jealous of course!
Another thing we love to do around the house is dance, since watching Jackson dance is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. He bobs his head, bends at the knees, and spins in circles with his hand in the air. Wonder where he got those good moves! He's also quite the singer. He's been singing the tune of TwinkleTwinkle for a few months now, but also know Peas Porridge Hot, London Bridge, and a few others.As exhausting as these days are and although I feel like the only words I ever say are "this is no touch!" we are having a lot of fun and will certainly look back and miss these days when they are gone.
