A few things that Jackson has been up to this past month...
His top front teeth are coming in, as well as the ones next to those. Maybe he will be able to eat more efficiently! As far as his eating goes, he has been doing a little bit better. We still have to give him Pediasure a few times a week when he just doesnt want to eat one of his meals. He definitely feels heavier to me though. He goes March 1st for his 18 month check up so we will see then what he is weighing these days. The child definitely isn't carrying around much "baby fat" though. He has a very athletic build already!
He has started feeding himself with a spoon. Of course he still needs lots of practice and is spilling some, but I have to say, he does pretty well! Pictures to follow!
He has learned many of the animal sounds. It is too cute when he says them on command! So far he knows a cow, sheep, horse, owl, and Sugar. He also can point out body parts, such as his hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and belly button. He still isnt doing much talking though. Grandpa told me that he says "up" and I have heard him say "bye bye" and "T.J.", but not much else. It can be worrisome to me, but I'm sure when he does start talking there will be times when I wish that he couldnt!
He loves kicking around the soccer ball at the park. Almost daily grandma, grandpa, and I take Jack for a walk to a nearby park. There is a huge field there where he can play. He is actually pretty good at kicking and dribbling the soccer ball. Like father, like son!
Jack is just getting cuter and cuter everyday. He is so much fun too! He certainly keeps us on our toes and laughing.
